Acetone - Health effects
Acetone can result in unconsciousness and damage to the skin in the mouth. Skin contact can result in irritation and damage to the skin. If you inhale it for long periods of time, it is dangerous.
The smell and respiratory data are known mostly from animal studies. Kidney, liver, and nerve damage, increased birth defects, and lowered reproduction ability of males (only) occurred in animals exposed long-term. It is not known if these same effects would be exhibited in humans.
Interestingly, acetone has been shown to have anticonvulsant effects in animal models of epilepsy, in the absence of toxicity, when administered in millimolar concentrations (see: Likhodii et al, 2003).
