Ethyl acetate is a common organic compound, and its chemical hazards should not be underestimated.

Ethyl acetate is flammable, and can cause combustion and explosion in case of open flame and high heat. When in contact with oxidizing agents, a strong reaction will occur, increasing the risk of fire and explosion. Its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture, which can easily cause danger in case of fire.

Inhalation of ethyl acetate has great harm to the human body. It can irritate the respiratory tract, causing symptoms such as cough and breathing difficulties. Long-term exposure or high concentration inhalation may also damage the nervous system, causing dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and other discomforts, which seriously affect health.

Skin contact with ethyl acetate may cause skin irritation, redness, swelling, itching and other allergic symptoms. When in contact with the eyes, it can cause irritation to the conjunctiva of the eye, causing pain, tears, etc. If not handled properly, it may even affect vision.

In view of the many chemical hazards of ethyl acetate, it is necessary to strictly abide by safety operating procedures during use and storage. The storage place should be cool and ventilated, away from fire sources and oxidants. Protective measures should be taken when using, such as wearing protective gloves, masks and goggles, etc., to ensure personal safety and environmental safety.
