Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Pre-existing eye, skin, liver, kidney, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.

Potential chronic health

Propellants in product, such as propane and isobutane, are asphyxiants and can be anaesthetic at high concentrations. Repeated overexposure to vapours and/or material may injure the liver, kidneys and respiratory system unless suitable engineering controls and/or personal protective equipment are used. Prolonged or repeated exposure to xylene may cause defatting, drying, and irritation of the skin, dermatitis, central nervous system (CNS) effects, heart muscle sensitization and arrhythmia, hearing loss, and brain, liver, kidney damage. Xylene overexposure may affect foetal development. Prolonged or repeated overexposure to acetone may cause liver damage, Central Nervous System depression and narcosis. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated ethylbenzene and classified it as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals, but inadequate evidence for cancer in exposed humans. Propellants in product, such as propane and isobutane, are asphyxiants and can be anaesthetic at high concentrations.
