Potential health effects

Target Organs: Skin, eyes

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, skin/eye contact, skin absorption, ingestion Acute Effects Inhalation: The toxicological properties of benzo(g,h,i)perylene have not been thoroughly investigated. In general, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have a low order of acute toxicity in humans, but can produce a variety of non-cancer effects with chronic exposure. Eye: Effects unknown. Skin: May be absorbed through skin. Ingestion: Effects unknown. Carcinogenicity: NTP - Not listed; IARC - Group 3, Not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans; OSHA - Not listed; NIOSH - Not listed; ACGIH - Not listed; EPA - Class D, Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity; MAK - Not listed.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

None reported

Potential chronic health

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) may produce chronic effects such as eye photosensitivity and irritation; respiratory irritation with cough and bronchitis; leukoplakia; skin irritation, "coal tar warts" (precancerous lesions enhanced by UV light exposure), redness, dermal burns, photosensitivity, and acneiform lesions; mild kidney and liver toxicity (animals). Some, but not all, PAHs are carcinogens. Copyright © 2006 by Genium Group, Inc. Any commercial use or reproduction without the publisher’s permission is prohibited.
