Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is a chemical that can cause a range of health effects, including irritation of the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, as well as more serious effects like asthma and other respiratory problems. Exposure to TDI can occur through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact.
Short-term exposure to high levels of TDI can cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and drowsiness. Long-term exposure to TDI can lead to more serious health effects, including an increased risk of asthma and other respiratory problems. In severe cases, TDI exposure can cause allergic reactions and even death.
It is important to use caution when handling TDI and to follow proper safety procedures to minimize the risk of exposure. If you believe you have been exposed to TDI, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
