Health hazards of hexane

Though trace levels of hexane in RBD oils is relatively harmless, studies show that hexane, if (short-term exposures) inhaled or absorbed by the skin, can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, and other effects similar to intoxication.

If exposures are high, long term and frequent, the effects can be long-lasting or permanent. High exposure levels have been associated with a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

If swallowed, it may cause severe abdominal pain and affect the respiratory system, resulting in shortness of breath, coughing, burning of the mouth, throat or chest.
