Section 3: Hazards Identification
Corrosive to skin and eyes. May release toxic and corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride and aqueous
Emergency Overview:
hydrochloric acid. Tetrahydrofuran can cause drowsiness and unconsciousness.
Primary Routes of Exposure:Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes
Eye Contact:Severe corrosive to the eyes. Exposure can lead to permanent eye damage.
Skin Contact:Corrosive to skin. Contact can lead to redness, pain, blistering, ulceration, and scar formation.
Inhalation of tetrahydrofuran vapor may cause coughing, nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, and
Inhalation:
unconsciousness.
Ingestion:Ingestion of tetrahydrofuran or hydrogen chloride may cause gastrointestinal and respiratory irritation.
Inhalation of vapor induces drowsiness and may cause coughing, chest pains, difficulty in breathing, nausea,
Acute Health Affects:
dizziness, headache and unconsciousness. Hydrogen chloride can cause pulmonary edema.
Chronic Health Affects:In animal studies tetrahydrofuran acted as a tumorigen (liver), mutagen and reproductive effector.
