The remainder of the MSDS sheet deals principally with the THF component except as modified herein. Section 3—Health Data CARCINOGENICITY IARC,NTP,NIOSH,EPA,OSHA and MAK do not list TETRAHYDROFURAN as a carcinogen. HEALTH EFFECTS:Acute: Inhilation: The material is moderately discomforting to the upper respiratory tract and may be harmful if inhaled. Inhalation of vapor may aggravate a prc-existing respiratory condition. Over exposure by inhalation may result in the irritation of the mucus membrane and cause coughing,chest pains, nausca,dizziness.headache and narcosis. Exposure to high concentrations can affect the central nervous system due to the strong narcotic effect of the material. Conccntra- tions greater than 2500 ppm were required to produce anesthesia in animals.Anaesthetic properties arc poor in that onset is delayed and recover),-slow. Pronounced hypotensions and marked respiratory hypcmca accompany narcosis. Other symptoms include muscular hypotonia and disappearance of corneal reflexes followed by coma and death. Eye:The material is highly discomforting to the eyes,may cause chemical bums and is capable of causing pain and severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop.with possible permanent impairment of vision,if not promptly and adequately treated. THF applied as a 20%aqueous solution to rabbit eyes produced irritation. Skin: The material is moderately discomforting to the skin and is capable of causing skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis.Open cuts,abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. Ingestion: The material is moderately discomforting to the gastrointestinal tract and may be harmful if swallowed. On ingestion tetrahvdrofuran may cause liver and kidney damage.Warning the intake of alcoholic beverages enhance the toxicity effects. Chronic: Repeated exposure has been associated with cytolytic hepatitis and fatri•degeneration of the liver.A case history suggests that interaction of THF and enflurane(an anesthetic)may provoke epileptic seizures following surgery. Inhalation of THF at concentrations greater than 3 000 ppm-Shours/day for 20 days produced irritation and evidence of hepatic and renal injury• in animals. Male rats inhaling more than 5000 ppm THF for 12 days.4 hours/day showed signs of systemic intoxication,skin and respiratory irritation,liver function disturbance and abnormalities in glucose function. Muscle acetylcholinesterase activity increased in a concentration-dependent manner in male rats that inhaled 200 ppm for 18 weeks.6 hours/day. Heptic protein and mixed function oxidase activity also increased.At 2000 ppm-liver function was inhibited. In a 13 week-inhalation study.ataxis was reported in rats at 5000 ppm and narcosis in mice at 1800 ppm. Hepatocytomegaly developed in mice of both sexes at 5000 ppm while uterine atrophy and degeneration of the adrenal cortex was found in female mice.The parent compound of tctrahydrofuran,furan is carcinogenic in rats based on an increase incidence of cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular neoplasms of the liver and increased incidences of mononuclear cell leukemia. In male and female mice.furan induced hepatocellular neoplasms and benign pheochromocytomas of the adrenal gland. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY. Inhalation,Skin TARGET ORGANS: eyes,CNS,skin,respiratory system MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRIVATED BY EXPOSURE: Skin diseases. Individuals with bronchial asthma and/or other types of chronic obstructive respiratory diseases may develop bronchospasm if exposure to processing fumes or vapors is prolonged. EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. If breathing is shallow or has stopped,ensure clear airway and apply resuscitation. Transport to hospital or doctor. Eye Contact: Immediately hold the eyes open and flush continuously for at least 15 minutes with fresh running water. Ensure irrigation under eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.Transport to hospital or doctor without delay. Removal of cantact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. Skin Contact:Immediately remove all contaminated clothing,including footware(after rinsing with water). Wash affected areas thoroughly with water(and soap if available). Seek medical attention in the event of irritation. Ingestion:Contact a Poison Control Center. Do not induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. _After first aid get appropriate in plant,paramedic or community medical support.Note to physicians:Treat symptomatically.
