Potential Routes of Exposure and Resulting Health Effects EYES Eye contact may be corrosive to tissue, may cause blindness. Acute exposure may result in tearing, conjunctiva swelling, loss of sensation and blurred vision. Chronic exposure or repeated and prolonged exposure to fumes/ vapors may cause corneal ulceration, permanent damage or blindness. SKIN Dermal contact may irritate/inflame the skin, with burning sensation or localized loss of feeling (sensitizer, permeator). Skin is a principle route of entry and toxic quantities may be rapidly absorbed. The amount of tissue damage depends on the duration of exposure to the skin. Prolonged exposure can cause severe chemical burns. On skin, there is an initial local anesthesia followed with a white discoloration. Burns may be severe, but painless due to damage to nerve endings. Itching, scaling, reddening and occasionally blistering can characterize skin exposure. Vapors and liquids may be readily absorbed through the skin to cause systemic effects as detailed in acute inhalation exposure. Chronic, long-term exposure may cause dermatitis, and skin sensitization. Pathologic findings include congestion of the lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys. INHALATION Prolonged exposure may cause respiratory tract irritation, injury or arrest. Symptoms of chronic phenol poisoning may include vomiting, difficulty swallowing, diarrhea, anorexia, headache, vertigo, muscle weakness and pain, mental disturbances, dark or smoky urine and possible skin eruptions. Extensive damage to the liver and kidneys may be fatal. INGESTION May cause severe burns to the mouth or throat and severe abdominal burning sensation. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
