Potential health effects

Inhalation Exposure Effects: (Acute and Chronic): Vapor harmful. Excessive overexposure may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract, eyes, nose, throat and lungs. May cause central nervous system depression with symptoms including nausea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, or unconsciousness. Breathing high concentrations in an enclosed space or by intentional abuse, can cause irregular heartbeats which can cause death. Ingestion Exposure Effects: Poison. Cannot be made non-poisonous. May be fatal or cause blindness. May cause stomach or intestinal upset with pain, nausea, and/or diarrhea. May cause effects as those listed for inhalation. May irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus. It can be readily absorbed in the stomach and intestinal tract. Symptoms include a burning sensation of the mouth and esophagus, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, staggering gait, drowsiness, loss of consciousness, and delirium, as well as additional central nervous system effects. Chronic Exposure Effects: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with neurological and other physiological damage. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause dermatitis. Prolonged skin contact may result in absorption of a harmful amount of this material. Methanol has caused birth defects in laboratory animals, but only when inhaled at extremely high vapor concentrations. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. 2-Butoxyethanol: In animals, effects have been reported on blood (hemolysis) and secondary effects on the kidney and liver. Human red blood cells have been shown to be significantly less sensitive to hemolysis than those of rodents and rabbits. In long term animal studies, small but statistically significant increases in tumors were observed in mice but not rats. The effects are not believed to be relevant to humans. Target Organs: Central Nervous System, Liver, Kidney, Eyes, Skin, Heart, Stomach, Respiratory System, Auditory System Medical Conditions Generally Diseases of the skin, eyes, liver, kidneys, heart, lung, auditory system, central nervous Aggravated By Exposure: system and respiratory system.
