The use of aloe as a laxative is mentioned in Greek literature before the first century. The Greek physician Dioscorides wrote of its use in treating wounds, chapping, hair loss, genital ulcers, hemorrhoids, boils, mouth irritation, and inflammation.

Swallowing acryhc monomers may produce severe irritation of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach, and cause discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and possible coUapse. 

Mild exposure to HF via inhalation can irritate the nose, throat, and respiratory system. The onset of symptoms may be delayed for several hours. Severe exposure via inhalation can cause nose and throat bums, lung inflammation, and pulmonary edema, and can also result in other systemic effects including hypocalcemia (depletion of body calcium levels), which if not promptly treated can be fatal. Permissible air concentrations are (42) OSHA PEL, 3 ppm (2.0 mg/m ) as E OSHA STEL, 6 ppm (5.2 mg/m ) as E and ACGIH TLV, 3 ppm (2.6 mg/m ) as E. Ingestion can cause severe mouth, throat, and stomach bums, and maybe fatal. Hypocalcemia is possible even if exposure consists of small amounts or dilute solutions of HE. 

Iodine can affect the body if inhaled, if it comes in contact with the eyes or skin, or if it is swallowed. It may enter the body through the skin. Iodine vapor is a severe irritant of the eyes, respiratory tract, and to a lesser extent, to the skin. Swallowing iodine may cause burning in the mouth, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Short contact of iodine with the skin may produce a severe irritation of the skin and coloration similar to that obtained when tincture of iodine is appHed to a wound. Prolonged contact can be harmful and may cause bums. 

Concentrated monoethan olamine and monoisopropan olamine can cause severe local irritation or even bums to the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. If monoethan olamine and monoisopropan olamine are swallowed, large volumes of milk or water should be administered immediately. If diethanolamine, triethanolamine, diisopropanolamine, or triisopropanolamine are swallowed, vomiting should be induced after drinking two glasses of water. 

Swallowing. If it is sufficiently irritant or caustic, a swallowed material may cause local effects on the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach. Additionally, carcinogenic materials may induce tumor formation in the alimentary tract. Also, the gastrointestinal tract is an important route by which toxic materials are absorbed. The sites of absorption and factors regulating absorption have been reviewed (42,43).

The so-called El-emission class describes a wood panel presenting formaldehyde emission which is low enough to prevent any danger, irritation or inflammation of the eyes, nose and mouth mucous membranes. However, it is important that not only the boards themselves, but also the veneering and carpenter s adhesive resins, laquers, varnishes and other sources of formaldehyde are under control, since they also might contribute to the mixture steady state formaldehyde concentration [9]. Table 3 gives an overview on some European regulations. However, it is necessary here to introduce the principal types of composite wood products, especially panels, that are produced in this industry ...
