FAQ
- ¿Es epichlorohydrin seguro durante el embarazo?
- Animal developmental and reproductive toxicity studies (one-generation and developmental studies) report adverse effects; ECHA registration dossier and EPA summaries document these findings and some C&L notifications list H361 (suspected reproductive toxicant). There is mechanistic evidence that epichlorohydrin is a reactive epoxide (genotoxic/alkylating) which plausibly underlies developmental/reproductive toxicity. Topical cosmetic exposure would be low but measurable; epichlorohydrin has a skin penetration (NIOSH skin notation) so systemic exposure is possible if used on skin. (Sources: ECHA registration dossier; PubMed study; EPA summary; NIOSH/NIOSH PEL page).
- ¿Es epichlorohydrin seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same rationale as for pregnancy: animal data and regulatory dossiers indicate reproductive/developmental hazard (H361 notifications). Mechanistic genotoxic/reactive epoxide activity supports potential for systemic harm. Dermal absorption is possible so measurable maternal systemic exposure (and therefore theoretical transfer to breastmilk) cannot be excluded, though direct lactation-specific data are unavailable.
- ¿Es epichlorohydrin seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanism same as adults (animal reproductive/developmental effects; reactive epoxide chemistry). Because epichlorohydrin is skin-penetrant (NIOSH skin notation) and infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → infant e=2). There are no infant-specific safety studies identified.
