Monomethyltrichlorosilane has many harmful effects on the human body, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:


1.Skin irritation: Monomethyltrichlorosilane is corrosive and can quickly cause skin irritation and burns after contact with the skin. Mild contact may cause discomfort symptoms such as erythema, itching, and pain on the skin; in severe cases, it may cause skin ulceration and necrosis, and the wound may heal slowly, and may also leave scars and increase the risk of infection.

2.Damage to the eyes: Once it comes into contact with the eyes, it will cause strong irritation to the eyes, causing symptoms such as eye stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. If it is not handled correctly in time, it may cause serious damage to the eye tissue, such as corneal burns, ulcers, etc., which will affect vision and even cause blindness.

3.Respiratory irritation: Inhaling the vapor or smoke of monomethyltrichlorosilane will cause strong irritation to the respiratory mucosa. Short-term inhalation may cause symptoms such as coughing, sputum, sore throat, and chest tightness; long-term or large-scale inhalation may cause chemical bronchitis and pneumonia, and serious symptoms such as fever and dyspnea. In severe cases, it may cause pulmonary edema and endanger life.

4.Impact on the nervous system: Monomethyltrichlorosilane has certain neurotoxicity and may affect the normal function of the nervous system after entering the human body. Contactors may experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, it may cause convulsions, coma and other serious nervous system damage.
Other hazards: Monomethyltrichlorosilane reacts with water or water vapor to produce hydrogen chloride, which is also harmful to the human body, irritating the respiratory tract and eyes, and aggravating damage to the human body. Long-term contact may also cause damage to important organs such as the liver and kidneys, affecting their normal functions.

Due to the above hazards of monomethyltrichlorosilane, during the production, storage, and use of monomethyltrichlorosilane, contact personnel must strictly abide by the operating procedures and take personal protective measures. If accidentally contacted, appropriate first aid measures should be taken immediately and medical treatment should be sought in time.
