EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
May cause sensitization by skin contact. May cause cancer.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Not available.
Skin:
Not available.
Ingestion:
Not available.
Inhalation:
Not available.
Chronic:
Contains formaldehyde which can cause cancer in humans. There is sufficient evidence that formaldehyde causes nasopharyngeal cancer in humans, a rare cancer in developed countries. There is limited evidence that formaldehyde causes cancer of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and strong but not sufficient evidence for leukemia.
