Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Single Exposure May cause drowsiness or dizziness 0000142-82-5 N-HEPTANE May affect the nervous system. Likely Routes of Exposure Inhalation, Ingestion, Skin contact, Eye contact Aspiration into the lungs when swallowed or vomited may cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal. 0000142-82-5 N-HEPTANE Can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapor, through the skin and by ingestion. Chronic Exposure Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met. Potential Health Effects - Miscellaneous 0000142-82-5 N-HEPTANE
Increased susceptibility to the effects of this material may be observed in people with preexisting disease of any of the following: central nervous system, respiratory system, skin. May cause central nervous system effects such as dizziness, headache, nausea, and loss of consciousness. Laboratory studies with rats have shown that petroleum distillates can cause kidney damage and kidney or liver tumors. These effects were not seen in similar studies with guinea pigs, dogs, or monkeys. Several studies evaluating petroleum workers have not shown a significant increase of kidney damage or an increase in kidney or liver tumors. Aspiration may occur during swallowing or vomiting, resulting in lung damage.
