Potential health effects

EYES: Can cause irritation, redness, tearing or blurred vision as well as corneal opacity and conjunctivitis. SKIN: May cause irritation, defatting, and dermattitis. SKIN ABSORPTION: Can cause reddening, swelling, rash, scaling or blistering. Overexposure may cause sensitization resulting in reaction to contact of small amounts. INGESTION: Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Aspiration of material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal. Can cause corrosive action to mucous membranes and digestive tracts. INHALATION health risks and symptoms of exposure: Can cause nausea and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, nausea, headache. Burning sensation to mucous membranes, shortness of breath and flu like symptoms may occur. HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC): May cause asthma or other respiratory disorders, bronchitis, emphysema, hyperactivity and eczema. Chronic Inhalation: as a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose of isocyanates, certain individuals will develop isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma), which will cause them to react to a later xposure to isocyanate at levels well below the TLV or MGL. These symptoms, which include chest tightness, wheezing, cough, shortness of breath or asthma attack, could be immediate or delayed up to several hours after exposure. Similar to many nonspecific asthmatic responses, there are reports that once sensitized an individual can experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust, cold air, or other irritants. This increased lung sensitivity can persist for weeks and in several years. Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has been reported to cause lung damage, including decrease in lung function, which may be permanent. Sensitization may either be temporary or permanent. Acute skin Contact: Isocyanates react with the skin protein and moisture and can cause irritation. Symptoms of skin irritation may be reddening, swelling, rash, scaling, or blistering. Some persons may develop skin sensitization from skin contact. Chronic Skin contact: Prolonged contact with the isocyanate can cause reddening, swelling, rash, scaling, or blistering. In those who have developed a skin sensitization, these symptoms can develop as a result of contact with very small amounts of liquid material or even as a result of vapor-only exposure.
