reduced lung function (breathing obstruction). Persons with
a preexisting, nonspecific bronchial hyperreactivity can
respond to concentrations below the exposure limits with
similar symptoms as well as an asthma attack. Exposure
well above the exposure limits may lead to bronchitis,
bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs).
These effects are usually reversible. Chemical or
hypersensitive pneumonitis, with flu-like symptoms (e.g.,
fever, chills) has also been reported. Solvent vapors may
be irritating to the eyes, nose and throat. Symptoms of
irritation may include redness, burning, and itching of the
eyes, dryness of the throat and tightness of the chest.
Other possible symptoms of overexposure include
headache, nausea, narcosis, fatigue and loss of appetite.
A concentration of 200 ppm BA can cause eye, nose and
throat irritation. At 300 ppm these effects can become
severe. Persons exposed to 200 ppm of xylene
experienced eye, nose and throat irritation. Concentrations
of 10,000 ppm of xylene can be immediately dangerous to
life and health.

irritation, defatting, These symptoms, which include chest tightness, wheezing, cough,
dermatitis. shortness of breath or asthmatic attack, could be immediate or delayed
up to severl hours after exposure. Similar to many non-specific
asthmatic responses, there are reports that once sensitized, an
individual can experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust, cold
air or other irritants. This increased lung sensitivity can persist for
weeks and in severe cases for several years. Chronic overexposure to
isocyanates has also been reported to cause lung damage, including
decrease in lung function, which may be permanent. Sensitization may
be either temporary or permanent. Chronic exposure to organic
solvents has bee associated with various neurotoxic effects including
permanent brain and nervous system damage. Symptoms include loss
of memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.
Acute Skin Contact: Isocyanates react with skin protein and moisture
and can cause irritation. Symptoms of skin irritation may be reddening,
swelling, rash, scaling or blistering. Some persons may develop skin
sensitization from skin contact. Cured material is difficult to remove.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact with solvents can result in dry,
defatted and cracked skin causing increased susceptibility to infection.
In addition, skin irritation (i.e., redness, swelling), which may develop
into dermatitis, may occur from skin contact. Solvents can penetrate the
skin and may cause systemic effects similar to those identified under
acute inhalation symptoms.
Chronic Skin Contact: Prolonged contact with the isocyanate can
cause reddening, swelling, rash, scaling or blistering. In those who have
developed a skin sensitization, these symptoms can develop as a result
of contact with very small amounts of liquid material or even as a result
of vapor-only exposure. Chronic skin exposure to solvents may cause
effects similar to those identified under chronic inhalation effects.
Acute Eye Contact: Liquid, aerosols and vapos of this product
(isocyanate and solvents) are irritating and can cause tearing, reddening
and swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation and/or a feeling like
that of fine dust in the eyes.
Chronic Eye Contact: May result in corneal opacity (clouding of the
eye surface). Prolonged vapor contact may cause conjunctivitis.
