Metabolism and excretion do not appear to be so fast as to prevent widespread distribution of unchanged acrylic acid in the body (U.S. EPA 1994).

 

(Test) After oral exposure in the rat, the highest concentrations of the chemical were found in the liver, fat, small intestine, brain, and kidneys

 

Rats were exposed to acrylic acid in drinking water for 90 days At the high dose (in both males and females) a reduction in body and organ weights and decreased water intake were observed acrylic acid was lethal to one-half and three quarters of the animals in the low and high dose, respectively. Adverse effects were observed in the gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys, and the respiratory tract.

 

Potential Acute Health Effects:

Very hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator), of eye contact (irritant, corrosive).

Corrosive to skin and eyes on contact. Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract.

 

Skin contact may produce burns.

 

Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. Severe over-exposure can result in death. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching.

　

Potential Chronic Health Effects:

MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Classified POSSIBLE for human. Mutagenic for mammalian germ and somatic cells.

 

TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified SUSPECTED for human.

 

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Classified Reproductive system/toxin/male [POSSIBLE].

 

Classified Development toxin [SUSPECTED].

 

The substance is toxic to bladder, brain, upper respiratory tract, eyes, central nervous system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation.

Repeated or prolonged exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection.
