Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation; skin contact; skin absorption; eye contact Human Effects and Symptoms of Overexposure Air monitoring conducted during the curing of this product has shown that acrolein and acetaldehyde vapors can be generated; if curing occurs in an unventilated area exposure limit for acrolein could be exceeded. The following health effects include signs and symptoms associated with overexposure to acrolein and acetaldehyde. Acute Inhalation, : Acrolein vapors cause severe respiratory and eye irritation. Symptoms of overexposure include lacrimation, a burning sensation in the throat, cough, chest discomfort and cyanosis (bluish discoloration of earlobes, lips and fingernails due to lack of oxygen in the blood). The tlv is designed to minimize irritation. Acetaldehyde vapors cause respiratory and eye irritation. The irritant effects include cough and burning sensation in the nose, throat and eyes. High concentrations can cause central system depression. Chronic Inhalation .. None known. Acute Skin Contact.. .: not expected to be a skin irritant. Based on animal testing (see animal toxicity section), this product is Chronic Skin Contact: None known. Acute Eye Contact.. Based on animal testing, eye contact with liquid, aerosols and vapors of this product are not expected to cause eye irritation. However, eye contact with acrolein and acetaldehyde vapors (which can be generated during curing) at concentrations above their respective tlv’s can cause redness, tearing and swelling of the eyes. Chronic Eve Contact.. None known. Acute Ingestion tract. Can cause irritation in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive Chronic Ingestion None known. Carcinogenicity NTP Not listed.
