Ethanolamine
This chemical has been tested in laboratory animals
and no evidence of teratogenicity, embryotoxicity or
fetotoxicity was seen.
Mutagenicity:
Not known or reported to be mutagenic.

negative.
Carcinogenicity:
IARC has classified untreated hardwood and hardwood/softwood mix
wood dust as a Group 1 human carcinogen. The wood dust
classification is based primarily on IARC's evaluation of increased
risk in the occurrence of adenocarcinomas of the nasal cavities and
paranasal sinuses associated with occupational exposures to
untreated wood dust. NTP has classified all untreated wood dust as
a carcinogen.
