2.1.10 Conclusion

• Ethylbenzene may be harmful following brief exposure by inhalation or ingestion.
• Prolonged inhalation of ethylbenzene might cause effects on the Central Nervous System.

The carcinogenic risk to humans is estimated to be low if the workplace exposure limit is not exceeded and personal protection equipment is applied properly (see section 2.4.0 Occupational Health Aspects).
