On the toxicity of butyl acetate
The toxicity of substances in the world is related to the health of people's livelihood and cannot be ignored. Today, taking butyl acetate as the theory, we will study the reality of its toxicity.
Butyl acetate is commonly found in chemical industry. It is volatile and has a strong taste. Taste or people say it is toxic, but it is not completely the case.
In terms of small contact, if you accidentally smell its gas, or touch its liquid on the skin slightly, at first, you will only feel the punching nose of the gas, and the slight difference in the skin will rarely cause serious harm. The human body has its own ability to resist, which can slightly relieve its micro-toxicity. However, if it is exposed to the environment containing butyl acetate for a long time, and the concentration is quite high, the harm will gradually appear.
Its qi enters the lungs, and if it lasts for a long time, it will disturb the clearing of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing and frequent coughing. If blood enters, or the flow of qi and blood is disrupted, it will damage the internal organs. In the eyes, it will sting, red and swollen when touched, and hinder the vision. As for the skin, it will itch and rash when touched frequently, and the skin will lose its smoothness.
The appearance of toxicity also varies depending on the amount and body. Those who are healthy may be able to resist its poison for a long time; those who are weak, young children, and the elderly are easily invaded.
Therefore, the toxicity of butyl acetate cannot be generalized. When using it, be careful, take good protection, and avoid long-term high-concentration contact, so as to reduce its harm and protect your health.
