3 * - 3 1 3 1 OX Routes of Entry Inhalation Skin Contact Eye Contact Ingestion Target Organs Blood Eyes Kidneys Liver Nervous System Skin ACUTE: INHALATION - Dizziness, breathing difficulty, headaches, & loss of coordination. EYE CONTACT - Moderate irritation, tearing, redness, and blurred vision. SKIN CONTACT - Moderate irritant. Can dry and defat skin causing cracks, irritation, and dermatitis. INGESTION - Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, nausea, & diarrhea. Effects of Overexposure, 2.1 LOW VOC EURO CLASSIC PRIMER ACTIVATOR: Short Term Exposure Causes local irritation to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May cause irritation by any route of exposure. The LD50 rat is 13 gm/kg (13,000 mg/kg) (insignificantly toxic).Isopropyl alcohol irritates the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Inhalation: Irritation of the nose and throat may occur at 400 ppm and above. Skin: 5% solution may cause irritation and dryness. Eyes: Vapor levels of 20 ppm or above may result in irritation. Liquid may cause corneal burns and eye damage. Ingestion: 22.5 ml (2/3 oz) has caused salivation, reddening of face, stomach pain, depression, dizziness, headache, vomiting and unconsciousness. Ingestion of 100 ml (3 oz) has caused death.Ethyl benzene irritates the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Exposure to high concentrations can cause dizziness, lightheadedness and unconsciousness. Very high exposures (above the OEL) can cause difficult breathing, narcosis, coma, and even death. Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs, resulting in chemical pneumonitis. May affect the central nervous system. Concentration of 200 ppm can cause irritation.Methyl isobutyl ketone can affect you when breathed in. Exposure to high concentrations can cause you to feel dizzy and lightheaded and to pass out. Breathing the vapor may cause loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Contact or the vapor can irritate the eyes, nose, mouth, throat. Contact can irritate the skin. Ingestion chemical pneumonitis.Inhalation: Exposure to vapor can be irritation to the nose and throat. Inhalation of vapor at concentrations above 200 ppm or 3 - 5 minutes can lead to xylene intoxication. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. If exposure should continue, central nervous system depression characterized by shallow breathing and weak pulse can occur. Levels of 230 ppm for 15 minutes may cause lightheadedness without loss of equilibrium. Reversible liver and kidney damage in man has followed exposure to sudden high concentrations of vapor. Effects of Overexposure, 2.1 LOW VOC EURO CLASSIC PRIMER ACTIVATOR: Such high levels may also give rise to lung congestion. Exposure to extremely high concentrations (10,000 ppm or more) of xylene vapors can lead to a strong narcotic effect with symptoms of slurred speech, stupor fatigue, confusion, unconsciousness, coma, and possible death.The vapors of butyl alcohols irritates the eyes and respiratory tract. They can irritate the skin and cause rash or burning feeling on contact. May affect the central nervous system. Exposure to high concentrations could cause headache, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Exposure to high levels of the n- isomer may cause unconsciousness and may lead to irregular heartbeat. The oral LD50 value for rats for the various isomers are as follows: (n-) 790 mg/kg; (sec-) 6,480 mg/kg; (iso-) 2,460 mg/kg; (tert-) 3,500 mg/kg. Long Term Exposure There is evidence that this chemical is a mutagen.Repeated or prolonged contact may cause dry, cracking skin. There is an increased incidence of nasal sinus cancer in workers involved in the manufacture of IPA by the strong acid process. Although this chemical has not been adequately evaluated, many solvents and similar petroleum-based chemicals have been shown to cause brain or other nerve damage.Repeated or prolonged exposure to the skin may cause drying, scaling and blistering. May cause kidney disease, liver disease, chronic respiratory disease, skin disease, as follows: EB is not nephrotoxic. Concern is expressed because the kidney is the primary route of excretion of EB and its metabolites. EB is not hepatotoxic. Since EB is metabolized by the liver, concern is expressed for these tissues. Exacerbation of pulmonary pathology might occur following exposure to EB. Individuals with impaired pulmonary function might be at risk. EB is a defating agent and may cause dermatitis following prolonged exposure. Individuals with preexisting skin problems may be more sensitive to EB. There is limited evidence that EB may damage the developing fetus, and may cause mutations.Long-term exposure may damage the liver and kidneys. Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause drying and cracking.Inhalation of xylene vapor and skin contact with liquid are the two most probable routes of long term exposure. Symptoms of inhalation are dizziness, headache and nausea. Long term exposure has been associated with liver and kidney damage, intestinal tract disturbances and central nervous system depression. Prolonged contact with skin can lead to irritation, dryness and cracking. Repeated exposure can cause poor memory, difficulty in concentration, and other brain effects. It can also cause damage to the eye surface.Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis, drying and cracking of the skin. Exposure to the n- isomer can damage the liver, heart, and kidneys, cause hearing loss and affect sense of balance. The following chemicals comprise 0.1% or more of this mixture and are listed and/or classified as carcinogens or potential carcinogens by the NTP, IARC, OSHA (mandatory listing), or ACGIH (optional listing). Ethylbenzene IARC Group 3 carcinogen CAS# 100-41-4 OSHA: Possible Select carcinogen IARC: Group 2B carcinogen Chronic Affects: May affect liver, kidney and central nervous system with repeated exposure. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause lung injury and respiratory sensitization. Spraying of material can cause and oxygen deficient environment. Use proper ventilation to remove vapors, mist and fumes combined with NIOSH approved respirator.
