Exposure Controls/Personal ProtectionBack to Contents
【Personal Protection】

Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
【Respirators】

Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
【Exposure Effects】

Dizziness, headache and delirium have been reported with hydroquinone exposure. Quinone has cause paralysis of the medullary centers and coma. Both quinone and hydroquinone may cause seizures. In rat studies, maternal toxic effects from exposure to hydroquinone included changes in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and menstrual cycle. Post-implantation mortality was also observed in rat studies. <br>Observed paternal toxic effects from exposure to hydroquinone included changes in the testes, epididymis, sperm duct, prostate, seminal vesicle, Cowper's gland, accessory glands, and male fertility index. <br>Exposure to hydroquinone produced skeletal malformations in chickens and ocular and skeletal malformations in rabbits.
