Multiple studies of humans chronically exposed to mixtures of solvents containing toluene provide supporting evidence for toluene-mediated hearing loss, but concurrent exposure to other solvents limits the conclusions that can be drawn about toluene toxicity.
HOW CAN TOLUENE AFFECT MY HEALTH? A serious health concern is that toluene may have an effect on your nervous system (brain and nerves). Nervous system effects can be temporary, such as headaches, dizziness, or unconsciousness.
18 Μαΐ 2022 · These fact sheets summarize the information on occurrence and health effects of the chemicals covered, presenting guideline values where these have been derived and the basis for their derivation, or where guideline values have not been derived, the rationale for not establishing such values.
Major health effects of toluene inhalation in humans and animals and ingestion in animals and the lowest concentrations at which these effects have been observed are shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-2. An estimate of exposure levels posing minimal risk to humans (MRL) are also presented in these figures.
The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described here. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties.
Benzene is an important common impurity in technical grades of toluene. Highly- purified toluene (reagent grade and nitration grade) contains less than 0.01% benzene, while industrial grade and 90/120 grade toluene contain a significant quantity of benzene. The 90/120 grade contains as much as 25% (US NIOSH, 1973). 2.2.
It is used in household aerosols, nail polish, paints and paint thinners, lacquers, rust inhibitor, adhesives and solvent based cleaning agents.
