Use

Glycidaldehyde is a severe irritant, moder-ately toxic, and a carcinogenic compound.Exposure to 1 ppm for 5 minutes resultedin moderate eye irritation in humans. It pro-duced severe skin irritation with slow heal-ing, causing pigmentation of affected areas(Rose 1983).The symptoms of its toxicity in humansare central nervous system depression, excite-ment, and effects on olfactory sense organs.Such ill effects may be observed on exposureto concentrations exceeding 5 ppm.An intravenous administration of glyci-daldehyde at 20 mg/kg in rabbits causedmiosis, lacrimation, and respiratory depres-sion followed by death. In rats, 50 mg/kg,given orally, was fatal.
