Is 2-Ethylhexanol Chemical Liquid toxic?

2-Ethylhexanol exhibits low toxicity in animal models, with LD50 ranging from 2-3 g/kg (rat). 2-Ethylhexanol has been identified as a cause of indoor air quality related health problems, such as respiratory system irritation, as a volatile organic compound. 2-Ethylhexanol is emitted to air from a PVC flooring installed on concrete that had not been dried properly.

 

2-Ethylhexanol is low in acute toxicity. Prolonged or excessive exposure causes adverse effects.

  • Oral exposure: May cause nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal irritation; LD50 (rat) = 3 g/kg.
  • Dermal exposure: Can lead to skin irritation, dryness and redness. Long-contact dermatitis. Not absorbed through intact skin in large amounts.
  • Inhalation exposure: Vapour concentrations > 1 ppm cause coughing, shortness of breath. Chronic inhalation affects the nervous system.
  • Environmental toxicity: Moderately toxic to aquatic organisms. Accumulates in water. Poses risks to aquatic ecosystems.
