EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: IARC lists Ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B).
Overexposure to xylene in laboratory animals has been associated with liver abnormalities, kidney, lung, spleen, eye and blood
damage as well as reproductive disorders. Effects in humans, due to chronic overexposure, have included liver, cardiac
abnormalities and nervous system damage. Contains carbon black. Chronic inflammation, lung fibrosis, and lung tumors have
been observed in some rats experimentally exposed for long periods of time to excessive concentrations of carbon black and
several insoluble fine dust particles. Tumors have not been observed in other animal species (i.e., mouse and hamster) under
similar circumstances and study conditions. Epidemiological studies of North American workers show no evidence of clinically
significant adverse health effects due to occupational exposure to carbon black.
Carbon black is listed as a Group 2B-"Possibly carcinogenic to humans" by IARC and is proposed to be listed as A4- "not classified
as a human carcinogen" by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. Significant exposure is not anticipated
during brush application or drying. Risk of overexposure depends on duration and level of exposure to dust from repeated sanding
of surfaces or spray mist and the actual concentration of carbon black in the formula. May cause central nervous system disorder
(e.g., narcosis involving a loss of coordination, weakness, fatigue, mental confusion, and blurred vision) and/or damage. Reports
have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis, and blurred
vision) and/or damage.
