ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:
Swallowed:
May cause irritation to mouth, throat and stomach with effects including pains in the stomach, which may lead to
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Swallowing small quantities tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol may cause irritation to mouth,
throat and stomach with effects including pains in the stomach, which may lead to nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Swallowing large quantities reported in acute poisoning which resulted in death within 2-3 days were swelling in the
brain, haemorrhages in visceral pleura & epicardium, hypervolemia of organs, and expanded lung. Mucosa of the upper
digestive tract & stomach showed swelling, hypervolemia, haemorrhage, and necrosis. In death occurring after 3 days,
liver weight increased & showed yellowish-brown cross section with haemorrhages. This product may also upon
vomiting be aspirated into the lungs leading to chemical pneumonitis.
