Medical Conditions Generally
Aggravated By Exposure:
This product has not been tested as a whole to determine health effects. The health
effects listed below are associated with the individual ingredients listed in Section 3.
EYES:May cause severe eye irritation. may cause moderate corneal injury. Effects may
include discomfort or pain, and redness. Effects may be slow to heal. Vapor may cause
eye irritation experienced as mild discomfort and redness.
SKIN: Brief contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. Repeated
exposure may cause irritation, even a burn. May cause more severe response on
covered skin (under clothing, gloves, etc.). Prolonged skin contact to animals which are
less sensitive to hemolysis, as are humans, did not result in the absorption of harmful
amounts.
INHALATION: Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose
and throat). In humans, symptoms may include: headache. In animals, effects have
been reported on the following organs: Blood (hemolysis) and secondary effects on the
kidney and liver. Human red blood cells have been hown to be significantly less
sensitive to hemolysis than those of rodents and rabbits.
INGESTION: Moderate toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a
result of normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; However, swallowing
larger amounts may cause injury. In animals, effects have been reported on the
following organs: Blood (hemolysis) and secondary effects on the kidney and liver.
Human red blood cells have been hown to be significantly less sensitive to hemolysis
than those of rodents and rabbits. Massive ingestion of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether
may produce metabolic acidosis and subsequent secondary effects such as hemolysis,
central nervous system and kidney effects.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS:
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.
-In long-term animal studies with ethylene glycol butyl ether, small but statistically
significant increases in tumors were observed in mice but not rats. The effects are not
believed to be relevant to humans. If the material is handled in accordance with proper
industrial handling procedures, exposures should not pose a carcinogenic risk to man.
-In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only at doses that
produced significant toxicity to the parent animals. Has been toxic to the fetus in lab
animals at doses toxic to the mother.
TARGET ORGANS: kidney, liver, eye, respiratory tract
