N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) is a widely used solvent across many industries due to its solvency power and high boiling point. While NMPs efficacy is undisputed, the compound poses many health and environmental risks.
Effects of Short & Long term Exposure to NMP
SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: (ACUTE)
Exposure to NMP, even for a short duration, can cause acute health effects depending on the level and mode of exposure (inhalation, dermal contact, or ingestion) including:
- Respiratory Effects
- Neurological Symptoms
- Skin and Eye Irritation
- Gastrointestinal Distress
LONG TERM EXPOSURE: (CHRONIC)
Chronic exposure to NMP, especially in occupational or high-exposure environments can result in more severe and potentially irreversible health effects such as:
- Central Nervous System (CNS) Damage
- Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity
- Dermatological Effects
- Organ Toxicity
- Carcinogenic Potential
