Irritant Mucous membrane

Health and Safety Factors. Like other low molecular weight ketones, MIBK is an anesthetic chemical with no highly cumulative toxicological effects. Inhalation of vapors can irritate mucous membranes. 

Arsenic compounds must be considered extremely poisonous. Dust or fumes irritate mucous membranes and lead to arsenical poisoning. When swallowed they irritate the stomach and affect the heart, Hver, and kidneys. Nervousness, thirst, vomiting, diarrhea, cyanosis, and coUapse are among the symptoms of arsenical poisoning (3). In spite of the toxicity of arsenic compounds, there is evidence that arsenic is an essential nutrient for several animal species (4).

Exposure of humans to dichloroacetylene in a variety of settings has caused headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, eye irritation, mucous membrane irritation, and neurological disorders, manifested as paresis and neuralgia in several cranial and cervical nerves. " In some cases the cranial nerve involvement persisted for several days to years. Extreme nausea occurred among individuals exposed to levels as low as 0.5-1.0ppm. In an early report two deaths occurred several days after dichloroacetylene exposure autopsy revealed cerebral edema.

One of the elements essential for life, sulfur is a constituent of several of the more important toxic inorganic compounds. The common elemental form of yellow crystalline or powdered sulfur, S8, has a low toxicity, although chronic inhalation of it can irritate mucous membranes. 

It irritates mucous membranes of eyes and upper airways. Skin contact causes bums. 

Precautions DE is considered nontoxic to mammals, but the same properties that make it lethal to pests also cause it to irritate mucous membranes. Wear a dust mask when applying DE to avoid inhaling the particles. Don t apply the dust where children are likely to encounter it. Don t confuse pool-grade DE with the garden variety the type used in pools is chemically treated and poses a severe respiratory hazard. DE is nonselective and will kill beneficial insects. Rain will dilute or wash away DE and mix it into the soil, but the DE will retain its insecticidal properties. 

Definitive information regarding the acute toxicity of di-N-octylphthalate is not available. An estimated lethal oral dose in humans is between 0.5 and 15gkg, or between 1 oz equivalent to 29.6 mis and 1 qt equivalent to 0.96 liters in a 70 kg adult. Compounds that are structurally similar to di-N-oct-ylphthalate are known to irritate mucous membranes resulting in irritation of the eyes, throat, and upper respiratory tract passages and in gastrointestinal disturbances. There is evidence that some phthalates, such as di-s-octylphthalate, may be reproductive and developmental toxicants. Generally, the acute oral toxicity of alkylphthalates is low and the acute oral toxicity decreases as molecular weight increases. 

Tercinol is a phenol solution with a concentration of 15 g/100 g. It is recommended to dilute a teaspoon of concentrated solution in a glass of water and to gargle three or four times a day. One teaspoon is generally equivalent to 5 ml and therefore contains about 0.75 g of phenol. It is applied to irritated mucous membranes, and a small amount of the product will be swallowed every time it is used unless the user is an expert at gargling. Some 2-3 g could come into contact with the irritated mucous membranes every day. The package notice warns patients of the potential side-effects of phenol. 

Acute inhalation exposure to elemental selenium dust, possibly including some selenium dioxide, in occupational settings has been shown to irritate mucous membranes in the nose and throat and produce coughing, nosebleed, loss of olfaction, and in heavily exposed workers, dyspnea, bronchial spasms, bronchitis, and chemical pneumonia (Clinton 1947 Hamilton 1949). Chronic exposure of 40 workers at a copper refinery produced increased nose irritation and sputum (Holness et al. 1989). The exact concentration of selenium was not given, but the concentration was reported to exceed 0.2 mg selenium/m3. Confounding variables in this study include concurrent exposure to several other metals including copper, nickel, silver, lead, arsenic, and tellurium. 

Pentachlorophenol is toxic to mammals. Its acute oral ld, for rats is 210 mg/kg. It irritates mucous membranes and causes skin irritation. It is extremely toxic to fish, the LCjo (48 h) for rainbow and brown trout is 0.17 mg sodium pentachlorophe-noxide (Alabaster, 1958).
