| Abstract |
Chemical safety data sheet for chlorobenzene. Inhalation causes irritation of the respiratory airways with cough and breathing difficulties, with possible effects on the central nervous system (vertigo, coordination difficulties and loss of consciousness). Ingestion causes an irritation of the gastrointestinal tract with nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Ingestion can lead to systemic poisoning with symptoms similar to those caused by inhalation. Vapours can cause eye irritation, and spills can result in serious irritation and with possible corneal injury. Skin absorption is slow and can cause systemic effects. Skin contact is irritating (rash, itching). Prolonged exposure can lead to dermatitis or skin burns, together with hepatic, renal or lung damage. |
