Carbon reproductive hazards

SAFETY PROFILE Moderately toxic by skin contact, inhalation, intravenous, and intraperitoneal routes. Mildly toxic by ingestion. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. A skin and eye irritant. Less toxic than dimethylformamide. Mutation data reported. Combustible when exposed to heat and flame. A moderate explosion hazard. Violent reaction with halogenated compounds (e.g., carbon tetrachloride, hexachlorocyclohexane) when heated above 90°C. Iron powder catalyzes the reaction so that it initiates at 71 °C. 

There are human data on inhalation exposure of carbon disulfide that provide information on acute and chronic systemic effects. There are also data on immunologic, neurologic, developmental, and reproductive effects. There are some limited data on the carcinogenic potential of carbon disulfide, but these are preliminary and confounded by multiple exposure problems. There are no oral exposure datafrom humans and only limited information on dermal exposures. The dermal data address the occupational hazard of blister formation following accidental exposure.

Laboratory woikers can experience routine exposure to hazardous chemicals such as acetone, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, mercury, nitric acid, and xylene. Many exposures occur annually in laboratories, resulting in chemical-related illnesses such as dermatitis, eye irritation, and even fatal pulmonary edana. Employers must include information on additional protective measures for work that involves carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and acutely toxic substances.
