There are a wide variety of
health effects that can occur when you are overexposed to a chemical.Before we talk about some of the specific
health hazards of the chemicals you work with we want to discuss some general
concepts that you are likely to see mentioned on an MSDS.
Chemicals can enter your
body when you breathe them in (inhalation), when they come into contact with
your skin (contact/absorption), or when you swallow them (ingestion).These are called routes of exposure.
