**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May cause painful sensitization to
light. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption of methanol can cause
significant disturbances in vision, including blindness.
Skin:
Causes moderate skin irritation. May cause cyanosis of the
extremities. Methanol can be absorbed through the skin, producing
systemic effects that include visual disturbances.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause systemic toxicity with acidosis. May cause
central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement,
followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced
stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death
due to respiratory failure.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause narcotic
effects in high concentration. Vapors may cause dizziness or
suffocation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory experiments have resulted
in mutagenic effects. Animal studies have reported the development
of tumors. Prolonged exposure may cause liver, kidney, and heart
damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid. Gently lift eyelids and flush continuously with
water.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Wash clothing before reuse. Flush skin with plenty
of soap and water.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Persons with skin or eye
disorders or liver, kidney, chronic respiratory diseases, or central
and peripheral nervous sytem diseases may be at increased risk from
exposure to this substance.
Antidote:
Replace fluid and electrolytes.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As
in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn
if involved in a fire. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form
explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode
in the heat of a fire.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of
water.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing
foam may be used to reduce vapors.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly
closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact
with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Do not store
near perchlorates, peroxides, chromic acid or nitric acid.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility
and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible
exposure limits.

mg/L; 5-30 min; Microtox testWhen spilled on land it is apt to
volatilize, biodegrade, and leach into the ground water, but no data
on the rates of these processes could be found. Its fate in ground
water is unknown. When released into water it will volatilize and
probably biodegrade. It would not be expected to adsorb to
sediment
or bioconcentrate in fish.
