According to the GESTIS substance database of the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Statutory Accident Insurance,
ethylene oxide
mainly enters the body via the respiratory tract and skin.
However, it can also be easily absorbed through the digestive tract and is
toxic
in all areas
and can
cause cancer
.
In
addition to foreign bodies,
possible
poisoning
risks
from contamination are among the most frequent causes of a recall. *
