11. Toxicological information
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation. Substance causes moderate eye irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: May cause skin irritation. Substance may cause slight skin irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. May cause headaches and dizziness. High vapor
concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be harmful if
inhaled. Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist. Prolonged or excessive inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Aspiration hazard if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage. Irritating to
the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Harmful if swallowed.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: 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. Reports have associated repeated
and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. IARC lists Ethylbenzene
as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B).
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Eye Contact, Ingestion, Inhalation, Skin Absorption, Skin Contact
