What are the Symptoms of Butanone Exposure?

There is a wide range of different symptoms which exposure to this substance causes. Just some of the most common ones include:

Severe Headaches, often leaving you unable to get out of bed.
Dizziness, which can drastically impair your mobility.
Disorientation and Lack of Coordination – this can make working almost impossible, particularly in manufacturing industries.
Nausea and Vomiting.
Tiredness and Drowsiness.

Can Methyl Ethyl Ketone be Fatal?

It is so strong that it is also used in varnishes, paint removers and some strong paints. It allows the substance to evaporate quickly, which can have a range of practical applications when in use. If you’ve been subject to Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) poisoning, then it is essential that you gain compensation. While it is rarely fatal, exposure to this substance in an unsafe manner can lead to a range of illnesses, some of which can be long-lasting.

What can Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) Cause?

Any company which uses MEK needs to make sure that it is completely compliant with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (CSHHR). Within these regulations are specific guidelines about how your employer needs to treat the process and the safety equipment they need to provide you with. They need, for example, to provide you with goggles, masks and respiratory equipment in addition to protective clothing to prevent you from becoming ill because of MEK poisoning. It is also essential that they carry out regular risk assessments and ensure that all machinery is maintained effectively.

Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) poisoning is just one of many kinds of workplace illness that you could suffer from. It is equally as serious as any of the following:

Asbestosis.
Radiation Sickness.
Occupational Cancer.
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss.
Occupational Asthma.
Repetitive Strain Injuries.

What are Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) Claims?

If you have suffered from Butanone exposure in your workplace, or due to a company in your local area, you could make a claim for compensation. So long as you have evidence of the company in question being negligent towards your safety, you could earn thousands of pounds to help you get on with your life. If you’ve been forced to take time off work, for example, you could also obtain a loss of earnings compensation.

Whether you are handling it daily or not, simply being in the region of MEK could have a negative impact on your health. It is not only possible to breathe in the butanone fumes, but it can easily contaminate food and water. In some instances, it is also possible to obtain MEK poisoning through direct contact with the skin.
