Toxic effect of organic solvents - what does this mean

Organic solvents are chemicals that can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and their toxic effects can occur when they are present in the body in high enough concentrations. symptoms of exposure to organic solvents can include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and difficulty breathing. long-term exposure can lead to organ damage, neurological effects, and cancer.

What happens during the disease - toxic effect of organic solvents

The toxic effect of organic solvents is caused by the inhalation of vapors leading to direct damage of the respiratory tract, absorption of the chemicals into the bloodstream, and direct contact with the skin. this can lead to irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as damage to the lungs, liver, and kidneys. long-term exposure can cause neurological damage, cancer, and reproductive problems.
