2 Mercaptoethanol Ghs
On the Danger of Dimercaptoethanol (GHS-related)
Dimercaptoethanol, according to GHS standards, has many dangerous characteristics. Looking at its physical and chemical properties, it is flammable. Under specific conditions, it is easy to cause combustion in case of open flames and hot topics, and the fire spreads rapidly, endangering the surrounding environment and personnel safety.
In terms of health hazards, it is serious to the human body. If it is inadvertently exposed to the skin, it can cause skin irritation, redness, swelling, itching and even ulceration; if it comes into contact with the eyes, it can be strongly irritating to the eyes, or cause visual impairment, or even blindness. Inhalation of its volatile gas can irritate the respiratory tract, causing symptoms such as cough, asthma, and breathing difficulties. Long-term or high-concentration inhalation may damage lung function. If accidentally eaten, it will cause damage to the digestive system, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other conditions.
In terms of environmental hazards, after it enters the environment, it may cause pollution to the ecological environment such as water bodies and soils. Affect the survival and reproduction of aquatic organisms, destroy the water ecological balance; in the soil, or affect the activity of soil microorganisms, and have adverse effects on the soil ecosystem.
Therefore, in the operation involving dimercaptoethanol, it is necessary to strictly follow GHS regulations and take protective measures. Operators need to wear professional protective clothing, protective gloves and goggles, operate in a well-ventilated place, and be equipped with corresponding emergency treatment equipment. At the same time, strict standards should also be followed for its storage, transportation, and other aspects to prevent accidents such as leakage and ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.
