Health hazards

toxic if swallowed, may cause cancer, irritating to eyes and skin

Potential health effects

Inhalation Short term exposure: In confined or poorly ventilated areas, vapours can readily accumulate and can cause unconsciousness and death. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Excessive exposure may increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability (irregular heartbeats). May cause alcohol intolerance often manifested by temporary reddening of the skin called "degreaser's flush". Minimal anaesthetic or irritant effects may be seen around 200-400 ppm. Levels in the range of 1000-2000 ppm may rapidly cause dizziness or drunkenness. Progressively higher levels or longer exposure may cause unconsciousness and death and may be immediately hazardous to life. Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term inhalation. Skin Contact: Short term exposure: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation. May cause drying or flaking of skin. May cause more severe response if confined to skin. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. Trichloroethylene may be absorbed through skin and may cause numbness in the fingers immersed in the liquid. Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term skin exposure. Eye Contact: Short term exposure: This product is an eye irritant. Symptoms may include stinging and reddening of eyes and watering which may become copious. Other symptoms may also become evident. If exposure is brief, symptoms should disappear once exposure has ceased. However, lengthy exposure or delayed treatment may cause permanent damage. Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term eye exposure. Ingestion: Short term exposure: Significant oral exposure is considered to be unlikely. Available data shows that this product is toxic, but further symptoms are not available. However, this product is an oral irritant. Symptoms may include burning sensation and reddening of skin in mouth and throat. If aspirated (liquid enters the lung), may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems. Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term ingestion. Carcinogen Status: SWA: Trichloroethylene is classified by SWA as a Class 2 Carcinogen, likely to be carcinogenic to humans. 1,2-butylene Oxide is classified by SWA as a Class 3 Carcinogen, possibly carcinogenic to humans. See the SWA website for further details. A web address has not been provided as addresses frequently change. NTP: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by NTP. IARC: Trichloroethylene is classed 2a by IARC - probably carcinogenic to humans. 1,2-butylene Oxide is classed 2b IARC - possibly carcinogenic to humans. See the IARC website for further details.
