| Resumen |
Apart from one case of fatal poisoning following ingestion of half a litre of 1-propanol, there are practically no reports on the adverse health effects from exposure to 1-propanol, either in the general population or in occupational groups. In a study on skin irritation and sensitisation, allergic reactions were reported in a laboratory worker, and skin tests on volunteers resulted in erythema lasting for at least 60 minutes. No epidemiological studies are available to assess the long-term effects, including carcinogenicity. The report concludes that 1-propanol is unlikely to pose a serious health risk for the general population under normal exposure conditions. Detailed summaries in French and Spanish. |
