Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM. CHRONIC: MAY CAUSE NEUROPATHY SUCH AS INCREASED
SWEATING, TINGLING AND WEAKNESS IN THE HANDS AND FEET. UNSTEADY
GAIT AND DECREASED REFLEXES MAY A LSO BE OBSERVED. SUSPECTED CANCER
AGENT: EITHER ACUTE OR CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY LEAD TO WEAK OR ABSENT
REFLEXES. AN EARLY SIGN OF OVEREXPOSURE IS PEELING OF THE SKIN OF
THE FINGERTIPS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ACRYLAMIDE: IARC MONOGRAPHS ON THE
EVALUATION OF CARCINOGENIC RISK OF CHEMICALS TO MAN, VOLUME 60,
PAGE 389, 1994: GROUP 2A. NTP 8TH ANNUAL REPORT ON CARCINOGENS,
1998: ANTICIPATED TO BE HUMAN CARCINO GEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALED: AIRBORNE ACRYLAMIDE IS READILY
ABSORBED THROUGH THE LUNG AND OVEREXPOSURE WILL PRODUCE SIGNS OF
NEUROPATHY. CONTACT WITH EYES: SODIUM AZIDE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
ACRYLAMIDE: MAY CAUSE CONJUN CTIVAL EYE IRRITATION. ABSORBED
THROUGHSKIN: ACRYLAMIDE: READILY ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. INGESTION:
NEUROTOXICITY FROM A SINGLE INGESTION CAN RESULT BUT IS MORE
LIKELY TO OCCUR AFTER REPEATED INGESTION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OVER A
PERIOD OF SEVERAL DAYS OR WEEKS.
