| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful if swallowed. Corrosive to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child, impaired fertility and irreversible effects. Tetrahydrofuran can cause drowsiness. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes |
| Eye Contact: | Dust and vapors cause burns to the eyes and blindness. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes burns to the skin. May cause sensitization through skin contact. |
| Inhalation: | Corrosive to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization through inhalation. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may cause damage to the mouth, throat and esophagus. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Corrosive to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Although less toxic than Chromium (VI), chromium (III) chloride may act as a mutagen and reproductive effector. Possible risk of impaired fertility and irreversible effects. In animal studies, tetrahydrofuran acted as a tumorigen (liver), mutagen and reproductive effector. |
