Use
Diazomethane vapor causes severe irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes,
and lungs. It is considered to be a substance with poor warning properties, and the
effects of exposure may be delayed in onset. Symptoms of exposure may include
headache, chest pain, cough, fever, severe asthmatic attacks, and pulmonary edema,
which can be fatal. Exposure of the skin and mucous membranes to diazomethane
may cause serious burns.
Diazomethane is a powerful allergen. Prolonged or repeated exposure to
diazomethane can lead to sensitization of the skin and lungs, in which case asthma-
like symptoms or fever may occur as the result of exposure to concentrations of
diazomethane that previously caused no symptoms. Chronic exposure to
diazomethane has been reported to cause cancer in experimental animals, but this
substance has not been identified as a human carcinogen.
Note that diazomethane is often prepared in situ from precursors that may
themselves be highly toxic and/or carcinogenic.
