Vapour inhalation or swallowing of adhesive material
When glue vapors are inhaled, the respiratory system could be damaged because even small amounts of the substances contained in some types of glues can attack the mucous membranes.
Swallowing glue can cause poisoning symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cramps, stomach aches, vomiting, respiratory paralysis and unconsciousness. Moreover, irritation may occur to the respiratory paths and eyes.
Provide for good ventilation at workplace.
