| Comments |
Subjects recognize an offensive odor at about 0.5 ppm and have more severe symptoms of coughing and nausea at 75-100 ppm. In animal studies, it can cause pneumonitis and liver/kidney injury after heavy inhalation exposures. Death occurs after repeated exposures to 100-200 ppm. [HSDB] Corrosive to the skin, respiratory tract, and eyes; May cause "halo vision" at lower concentrations; May induce acute pulmonary edema; A mild CNS depressant; [CHEMINFO] Triallylamine is a skin irritant.
