However, it is hazardous to human health, damaging the eyes, skin, lungs, liver and heart, and may even be carcinogenic.

Studies have shown that acute (short-term) exposure to dimethylformamide in animals and humans can damage the liver. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, alcohol intolerance and skin rashes are induced. Chronic (long-term) occupational exposure or inhalation of dimethylformamide affects the liver and digestive system of workers, with symptoms such as headache, loss of appetite and fatigue; biochemical signs of liver dysfunction are also observed. Human studies suggest that exposure to dimethylformamide may be associated with testicular cancer.
