Principle Routes of Exposure
Skin contact Skin absorption Eye contact Inhalation Ingestion Symptoms of acute overexposure: Skin: Moderately irritating. Prolonged or repeated liquid contact can result in defatting/ drying of skin resulting in irritation and dermatitis. Eyes: Mildly irritating. High vapor concentrations may also be irritating. Inhalation: Vapors may irritate nose, throat, respiratory tract. High vapor concentration may cause CNS depression (giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea; in extreme cases- unconsciousness and death). Ingestion: Moderately toxic. May produce CNS depression (headache, dizziness, lethargy, weakness, personality change, poor appetite and nausea). Effects of chronic overexposure: Dermatitis may result from prolonged or repeated skin overexposures. Repeated excessive overexposures to solvents has caused liver, blood and kidney damage in laboratory animals. Propylene Oxide is an NTP and IARC carcinogen. Carcinogenicity -- OSHA regulated: No ACGIH: No National Toxicology Program: Yes International Agency for Research on Cancer: Yes Cancer-suspect constituent(s) : Propylene oxide Medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure: Preexisting eye, skin, and respiratory disorders. Other effects: MEK has demonstrated to potentiate (shorten the time of onset) of peripheral neuropathy caused by either n-hexane or methyl n-butyl ketone. MEK by itself has not been demonstrated to cause peripheral neuropathy. MEK can potentiate the neurotoxicity of hydrocarbon compounds (n-hexane, methyl-n-butylketone, and 2,5- hexanedione) and the liver and kidney toxicity of haloalkane solvents.
