Potential health effects

Chronic: Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation. (Acute and Chronic): Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis. Animal studies have reported that fetal effects/abnormalities may occur when maternal toxicity is seen. Chronic overexposure to vapors may cause lung damage. Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. May cause central nervous system effects such as nausea and headache. Neurobehavioural effects of exposure to MEK (200 ppm for 4 hrs) were studied with 137 volunteers. There were no statistically significant effects observed in biochemical, psychomotor, sensorimotor and psychological tests. Material is irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Harmful if inhaled. Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. Exposure may impair lung function and cause mucostasis (reduced mucous clearance). Carbon black dust is extremely fine and light and can be breathed deeply into the lungs, where it can accumulate. Normally the dust is cleared gradually and has no harmful effects. However, high concentrations can overwhelm the clearance capacity of the lungs, and impair function. Skin Contact: May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause drying and cracking of the skin. Only one human case of skin sensitization was located. Negative results were obtained in an animal test; MEK did not produce skin sensitization in the mouse ear thickness test. May cause skin irritation. Skin Absorption: May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation. Vapors may cause eye irritation. Animal evidence suggests that MEK is a moderate to severe eye irritant. Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Possible aspiration hazard. May cause central nervous system depression. Animal evidence suggests that MEK can be aspirated (inhaled) into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting. May be harmful if swallowed. Will not occur. Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation.
