Hazards of Ethyl Acetate
Ethyl acetate, for users, has various hazards and should be carefully observed.

First, it is related to the risk of explosion. This substance is highly flammable, and its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture. In case of open flame and high heat, it can cause combustion and explosion. And its vapor is heavier than air and can spread to a considerable distance at a lower place. In case of fire, it will catch fire and backfire, which is a potential huge threat.

Second, it is harmful to health. Inhalation of ethyl acetate vapor has a stimulating effect on the upper respiratory tract and can cause cough, throat discomfort, etc. Inhalation at high concentrations can cause dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and even confusion. If skin contact, may cause dry skin, degreasing, there is a risk of sensitization. Eye contact can cause eye irritation, severe or damaged vision.

Third, about environmental impact. If ethyl acetate leaks into the environment, it will pollute water, soil, etc. In the atmosphere, it participates in photochemical reactions, which will aggravate air pollution problems such as smog and cause damage to ecological balance.

Therefore, when using and storing ethyl acetate, it is necessary to strictly abide by safety procedures and take protective measures to minimize harm and ensure the safety of people and the environment.
