The harm of n-hexane and ethyl acetate
n-hexane is highly volatile. Its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture, which can cause combustion and explosion in case of open flame and high heat. Inhalation of high concentrations of n-hexane can cause headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, acute poisoning symptoms such as loss of consciousness. Long-term exposure can damage the peripheral nervous system, causing chronic poisoning manifestations such as numbness of the limbs and hyposenia.

Ethyl acetate is also volatile and has a pungent odor. Mixing its vapor with air can form an explosive mixture. In case of open flame and high heat, it can cause combustion and explosion. After inhalation, it is irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Inhalation at high concentrations can cause central nervous system depression, resulting in dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and other symptoms. Skin contact can cause dry and degreasing skin.

Both should be used with caution during use and storage. It should be placed in a cool and well-ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources, and avoid mixing with oxidants, acids, alkalis, etc. During operation, ventilation needs to be strengthened, and operators should wear appropriate protective equipment to prevent harm to health and safety.
