Small amounts of this liquid ingested into the lungs from swallowing or vomiting may cause severe health effects. Sweet condensate may, on prolonged exposure, lead to signs and symptoms of hydrocarbon narcosis such as dizziness, nausea and disorientation and eventually may lead to unconsciousness. Chronic exposure to condensate may eventually lead to effects related to exposure to benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons that may be present. Benzene - 1 ppm for 8 hours.
