Chronic or Other
Prolonged and repeated contact with the skin may irritate, and cause dermatitis. Prolonged overexposure to
the solvents (inhalation and skin contact) may cause effects to the central nervous system, liver, urinary,
bloodforming, cardiovascular and reproductive systems. Chronic exposure to Lead may result in damage to
bloodforming, urinary, nervous and reproductive systems (incl. embryonic effects). Symptoms include
abdominal pain, constipation, loss of appetite, metallic taste, nausea, insomnia, nervous irritability,
weakness, muscle & joint pains, headache and dizziness. See section 3.2 for other chronic health risks.
