Potential chronic health

This product contains small amounts of vinyl acetate monomer. ACGIH evaluated vinyl acetate as an A3 – Animal Carcinogen: the available evidence suggests it is not likely to cause cancer in humans except under unusual exposure. The IARC monograph indicates ôthere is little evidence in humans for carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate.” This would normally place a substance in IARC category 3. However, because vinyl acetate is metabolised to acetaldehyde, an IARC 2B classification has been assigned. . Toxicological Data: No LD50 data available for the product.
