It can irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Long-term small intake may also interfere with the normal metabolic mechanism of the human body, involving important organs such as the liver and kidneys, and affecting its normal function.

In terms of skin contact, triacetin may cause skin allergies in some people. Allergic reactions such as erythema, itching, and rashes can be seen on the contact site, and in severe cases, blisters and erosions may even occur. This not only brings physical discomfort to the patient, but also affects their daily life and work.

Therefore, triacetin poses a wide range of hazards, whether it is related to human health or the surrounding environment, it should be given sufficient attention, used with caution, and protective measures should be taken to reduce its harm.
