Potential health effects

ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS CHLORINATED POL YOLEFIN ACUTE OR IMMEDIATE EFFECTS: ROUTES OF ENTRY AND SYMPTOMS INGESTION Not a probable route of exposure. Single dose oral LD-50 has not been determined. Single dose oral toxicity is believed to be very low. SKIN Skin contact, especially with hot polymer, may cause skin irritation in some sensitive people resulting in redness, itching, and in extreme cases, blistering. Avoid contact with hot polymer which may give thermal burns. EYE Polymer chips or dust in the eye may cause mechanical damage including scratching of the cornea. INHALATION Vapors released during processing may be composed of hydrogen chloride and possibly carbon monoxide. These gases are evolved, they will cause tearing and burning of the eyes. The vapors will also cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract which results in a sore throat and coughing in severe cases with shortness of breath. TALC Short-term over-exposure by inhalation to Talc may cause irritation of the nose, throat and lungs with cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. Long-term over- exposure may lead to chronic lung disease with impaired lung function and abnormal chest x-rays. Increased susceptibility to the effects of Talc may be observed in persons with pre- existing disease of the lungs.
