Specific target organ system toxicity - repeated exposure: No effects known.
Specific target organ system toxicity - single exposure: May cause respiratory irritation.
Aspiration hazard: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Zinc containing fumes may cause metal fume fever. Effects include dry throat, metallic taste, chest pain, dyspnea, rales and dry cough. Several hours later, chills may occur with lassitude, malaise, fatigue, headache, back pain, muscle cramps, blurred vision, nausea, fever, perspiration, vomiting and leukocytosis.
Subacute to chronic toxicity: No effects known.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Ingestion of mineral spirits may cause a burning sensation in the mouth, esophagus and stomach. Vomiting, blurred vision, diarrhea and CNS effects may occur.
Swallowing may cause aspiration into the lungs. Inhalation may cause intoxication, peropheral nerve disorders and CNS depression. They are suspected carcinogens of the skin, scrotum, larynx, lung and alimentary tracts.
Additional toxicological information: To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this substance is not fully known.
