Is Dichloromethane Liquid Harmful To Humans?

Inhaling dichloromethane or methylene chloride causes irritation in the nose and throat. It affects the central nervous system (CNS). It is a possible mutagen and anticipated to be a human carcinogen.

Dichloromethane is considered by many to be a neurotoxin. It has been proven to cause brain damage and also damage to the central nervous system (abbreviated to CNS). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also classified this compound as a probable carcinogen towards humans. This is because high levels of exposure to dichloromethane has been proven to cause cancer of the lungs and liver in many animals.
