chronic or repeated exposure. (STOT RE).
Chronic Toxicity
No known effect based on information supplied. Chronic exposure to corrosive fumes/gases
may cause erosion of the teeth followed by jaw necrosis. Bronchial irritation with chronic
cough and frequent attacks of pneumonia are common. Gastrointestinal disturbances may
also be seen. Contains a known or suspected carcinogen. Avoid repeated exposure.
Prolonged exposure may cause chronic effects. May cause adverse effects on the bone
marrow and blood-forming system. May cause adverse liver effects. Contains a known or
suspected reproductive toxin. Ethanol has been shown to be a reproductive toxin only when
consumed as an alcoholic beverage. Ethanol has been shown to be carcinogenic in
long-term studies only when consumed as alcoholic beverage.
