Best Answer

No epidemiological studies or case reports investigating the association of exposure to Ethyl bromoacetate (EBA) and cancer risk in humans were identified in the published literature. Ethyl bromoacetate is toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption and is a strong irritant and a lachrymator.

EBA vapors are especially irritating to the eyes. Exposure to a concentration of 8 ppm in air for more than a minute is reported to be unbearable. Ocular exposures to high concentrations of EBA vapor from tear gas shells can cause temporary lesions, while eye contact with liquid EBA has been known to cause permanent damage.

What is the tox number for urethane?

What do you mean by tox number? When you say urethane do you mean Ethyl carbamate with a CASRN - 51-79-6? If your question is what is the toxicity of ethyl carbamate in humans, I offer the following information: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has determined that there is inadequate data to derive a number to quantify non-carcinogenic health effects by the inhalation route of exposure. The USPEA has not evaluated the carcinogenicity of ethyl carbamate. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has determined that ethyl carbamate is probably carcingenic to humans. If, on the other hand, your question is regarding polyurethane coatings typically used to seal wood floors, among other uses, then the question is what is the toxicity of many other chemicals (other than ethyl carbamate), some known, some unknown, some depending on the manufacturer and formulation.
