Section 11: Toxicological Information
|
This
product has a low order of acute and chronic toxicity by all routes
of exposure. A trace constituent, vinyl acetate, is reported by
the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), to cause
tumors in experimental animals at high doses not considered relevant
to worker exposures. Epidemiologic studies of exposed human populations
do not indicate an increased risk of cancer in exposed humans.
Two year animal tests (inhalation) at 50, 200, and 600 ppm of vinyl acetate monomer have shown that some animals in the 600 ppm group developed tumors. There is no evidence of human carcinogenicity. Acute and chronic health effects are not expected as long as good industrial hygiene and safety precautions are followed. Exposure may cause eye and skin irritation. Prolonged skin exposure may cause burning, drying, and cracking of the skin. Inhalation of vapor or mist at levels exceeding permissible exposure standards can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, including nose and throat irritation. Prolonged inhalation exposure in high levels can cause central nervous system depression resulting in dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, nausea, headache, and unconsciousness. Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation including vomiting and diarrhea. Vomiting can cause aspiration into the lungs, causing pneumonitis. |
