HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Health Effects
Acute
Swallowed Moderately toxic. Excessive exposure to etridiazole may cause liver damage.
Ingestion of large amounts of product may cause throat irritation, nausea, and
diarrhea.
Eye Can cause eye damage.
Skin Moderately toxic. Excessive exposure to etridiazole may cause liver damage.
Absorption through the intact skin may contribute to exposure. Prolonged or
repeated skin contact can cause irritation.
Inhaled Inhalation of high dust levels may cause irritation and coughing. Nausea may
develop in severe cases.
Chronic Results of a lifetime feeding study indicate that etridiazole is carcinogenic to
rats at levels of 640 pm and 1280 ppm in the diet. No increase in tumours was
found at a dosage level of 100 ppm. Mutagenic and reproductive effects are
reported in the NIOSH Registry of Toxic Effects [USA].
Medical conditions Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory function may
which may be aggravated be more susceptible to effects of substance.
