Potential health effects
Acute and Chronic) Chronic ingestion may cause lactic acidosis and possible seizures Exposure to large doses may cause central nervous system depression. May cause liver and kidney damage. Inhalation: Low hazard for normal industrial handling. Inhalation of a mist of this material may cause respiratory tract irritation. Material has a low vapor pressure at room temperature, so exposure to vapor is not likely. Harmful if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause narcotic effects in high concentration. May cause lung damage. May cause anemia. May cause central nervous system effects such as nausea and headache. Skin Contact: Allergic reactions have been reported. Prolonged contact is essentially non-irritating to skin. Repeated exposures may cause problems. Negative results have consistently been obtained in guinea pigs studies for sensitization. 1,,2-Propylene glycol is not considered an occupational skin sensitizer. (CHEMINFO) Causes skin irritation. Causes symptoms similar to those of inhalation. A skin notation is not recommended by ACGIH, based on estimates from physiologically based pharmacokinetic models which indicate that, even in worst-case dermal-exposure scenarios, 2- butoxyethanol is not absorbed in amounts sufficient to cause red blood cell hemolysis in humans. Eye Contact: May cause slight transient injury. Causes eye irritation. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause hemoglobinuric nephrosis. May cause changes in surface EEG. No hazard expected in normal industrial use. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
