Description

Xylenes (meta [1,3-Dimethylbenzene], and para [1,4-Dimethylbenzene]) are mildly toxic volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). They are used in numerous industries and a wide variety of products including gasoline. No health effects have been noted at the background levels that people are exposed to on a daily basis. High levels of exposure for short or long periods can cause headaches, lack of muscle coordination, dizziness, confusion, and changes in sense of balance. Exposure of people to high levels of xylene for short periods can also cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat; difficulty in breathing; problems with the lungs; delayed reaction time; memory difficulties; stomach discomfort; and possibly changes in the liver and kidneys. Very high levels can cause loss of consciousness and death. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , CDC: ToxFAQs for Xylene
