SECTION 6 EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
ENTRY ROUTE................... INHALE- YES INGEST- YES SKIN- YES EYE-YES
INHALATION......................May cause irritation of mucous membranes, nose & throat, headache, dizziness, nausea, numbness of the extremities
and
narcosis in high concentrations. Has caused CNS depression & liver damage in animals, & high concentrations have
caused retardation of fetal development in rats.
TETRAHYDROFURAN The National Toxicology Program has reported that exposure of mice and rats to Tetrahydrofuran (THF) vapor levels up
WARNING............. to 1800 ppm 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for their lifetime caused an increased incidence of kidney tumors in male rats and
liver tumors in female mice. The significance of these findings for human health are unclear at this time, and may be
related to "species specific" effects. Elevated incidences of tumors in humans have not been reported for THF. THF is
not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC, or OSHA. One THF vendor has recommended a reduction in the "acceptable
exposure limit" from 200 ppm to 25 ppm, 8 and 12 hour time weighted average.
SKIN.................................. Chronic contact may lead to irritation & dermatitis. Chronic exposure to vapors of high concentration may cause
dermatitis. May possibly be absorbed through the skin.
EYE................................... Vapors or direct contact may cause irritation.
INGESTION...................... May be aspirated into lungs or cause systemic effects described under inhalation.
TARGET ORGANS.......... Eye, Skin, Kidney, Lung, Liver, Central Nervous System
