At an exposure of 100 ppm, one may experience nausea or a headache. At an exposure between 200 and 500 ppm, symptoms can include feeling "high", dizziness, weakness, irritability, vomiting, and slowed reaction time. [20] [21] The side effects of exposure to low concentrations of xylene (< 200 ppm) are reversible and do not cause permanent ...
A small amount of xylene exposure will likely not cause long-term effects. More severe exposures can take a few days to develop, while repeated direct exposure can cause permanent damage to the ...
Hippuric acid has long been used as an indicator of toluene exposure; [14] however, there appears to be some doubt about its validity. [15] There is significant endogenous hippuric acid production by humans; which shows inter- and intra-individual variation influenced by factors such as diet, medical treatment, alcohol consumption, etc. [15] This suggests that hippuric acid may be an ...
Xylene is a colorless and flammable liquid that is also a hazard to the wellbeing of many humans. [21] Xylene is harmful when exposed to human skin or, in more extreme cases, eyes, nose, and throat. Symptoms of xylene exposure can come in many forms including headaches; dizziness; confusion; loss of muscle coordination; and in high doses, even ...
Toxic encephalopathy is a neurologic disorder caused by exposure to neurotoxic organic solvents such as toluene, following exposure to heavy metals such as manganese, as a side effect of melarsoprol treatment for African trypanosomiasis, adverse effects to prescription drugs, or exposure to extreme concentrations of any natural toxin such as cyanotoxins found in shellfish or freshwater ...
Liquid p-xylene exposure to the skin over long periods of time can remove the fat from the skin. The substance may also have effects on the central nervous system. Exposure can enhance hearing loss caused by noise exposure. Animal tests suggest that this substance could cause damage to human development and reproductive systems. [17]
For mixtures containing organic solvents such as toluene, styrene or xylene, the combined exposure with noise increases the risk of occupational hearing loss in a synergistic manner. [5] [50] The risk is greatest when the co-exposure is with impulse noise. [51] [52] Carbon monoxide has been shown to increase the severity of the hearing loss ...
