Hazardous Shoes - Pentachlorophenol (PCP)
|
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) |
| The International
Agency for Research on Cancer has designated pentachlorophenol as a possible
carcinogen.
What is it? |
| What is it used for? PCP is used as a leather & wood preservative and as a pesticide on masonry. Our Shoes are the main source of PCP. |
| Where does it come from? The major sources of PCP releases are from treated timber or masonry, from its manufacture, storage, transport and application. PCP is a man-made chemical - there are no natural sources of release to the environment. |
| How might it affect the environment? PCP is toxic to wildlife in the vicinity of its release. It can also accumulate in the environment. It is however unlikely to harm the environment far from the site of emission or to have any other global environmental effects. |
| How might exposure to it affect human
health? Note : As well as reading the information below, we recommend that you refer to our guidance on the "Interpretation of Information on Health Effects" . Pentachlorophenol (PCP) can enter the body either by inhalation of PCP vapours, ingestion of contaminated water or food, or by dermal contact with wood treated with preservatives containing PCP. Inhalation of air containing high levels of PCP for short periods of time can be harmful to the kidneys, liver, blood, nervous system, immune system and gastrointestinal tract. Exposure to low levels of PCP over long periods of time is believed to cause a range of adverse health effects, including damage to the nervous system, liver, kidney and blood. Ingestion of high levels of PCP can cause damage to the digestive system. Ingestion of very high levels can lead to increased body temperature and, in extreme cases, death. Dermal contact with large amounts of PCP can cause irritation of the skin, eyes and mouth in humans. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has designated pentachlorophenol as a possible carcinogen. However, exposure to pentachlorophenol at normal background levels is unlikely to have any adverse effect on human health.
