For other data, click on the Table of Contents Human Health Effects: Human Toxicity Excerpts: /HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Three Asian subjects who reported experiencing severe facial flushing in response to ethanol ingestion were subjects of patch testing to aliphatic alcohols and aldehydes. An aqueous suspension of 75% (v/v) of each alcohol and aldehyde was prepared and 25 uL was used to saturate ashless grade filter paper squares which were then placed on the forearm of each subject. Patches were covered with Parafilm and left in place for 5 minutes when the patches were removed and the area gently blotted. Sites showing erythema during the next 60 minutes were considered positive. All three subjects displayed positive responses to ethyl, propyl, butyl, and pentyl alcohols. Intense positive reactions, with variable amounts of edema, were observed for all the aldehydes tested (valeraldehyde as well as acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, and butyraldehyde).

Quincy, MA: National Fire Protection Association, 1991., p. 4944] **PEER REVIEWED** /SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Butyraldehyde is extremely destructive of tissues of the mucosal membranes and upper respiratory tract, as well as of tissues of the eyes and skin. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, and edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonia, and pulmonary edema. Signs and symptoms of overexposure are a burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Medical conditions might be aggravated by continuous exposure.[Bingham, E.; Cohrssen, B.; Powell, C.H.; Patty's Toxicology Volumes 1-9 5th ed. John Wiley & Sons. New York, N.Y. (2001)., p.

However, coexposures with other more reactive aldehydes do not support a role for butyraldehyde acting alone.[Bingham, E.; Cohrssen, B.; Powell, C.H.; Patty's Toxicology Volumes 1-9 5th ed.

Occupational exposure to butyraldehyde may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where butyraldehyde is produced or used. Monitoring data indicate that the general population may be exposed to butyraldehyde via inhalation of ambient air, ingestion of food and drinking water, and dermal contact with consumer products containing this compound(SRC).[(1) NIOSH; NOES.
