Health Effects
Enter text or highlight term...
Acute Health Effects: From MSDS
Caution: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of this product. Always use product in a well ventilated area.

Inhalation: May cause mucous membrane irritation with cough and rhinitis.
Aerosol mists contain a small percentage of easily inhaled fine particles that can cause immediate injury to lung tissue, as well as be absorbed into the bloodstream. Aerosol products in general are not recommended.

Inhaling vapors of hydrocarbon propellants may produce simple asphyxia with symptoms such as dizziness, disorientation, headache, excitation, central nervous system depression, and anesthesia. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents of an aerosol can be harmful or fatal. A case of ventricular tachycardia in a well child has been associated with accidental exposure to isobutane, n-butane, and propane via an aerosol deodorant (JAMA 1986;256:78-80).

Skin Contact: May cause transient irritation.

Eye Contact: Prolonged contact can cause eye irritation.

Ingestion: No effects are listed in the manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet.
Chronic Health Effects: From MSDS
MSDS provides no information about chronic health effects resulting from prolonged or frequent use of this product.

Because the MSDS does not list all of the actual chemical ingredients, chronic effects cannot be predicted. (See the accompanying chemical database for a further discussion of potential health effects of the chemical ingredients listed on the label or mentioned as hazardous in the MSDS [see Ingredients].)
