Emergency Overview
NI
Signs & Symptoms of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure
Inhalation: headaches, dizzinesss, anesthetic effects, drowsiness and unconsciousness, and other central nervous system
effects. Skin: mild irritation. Eyes: irritation, burning.
Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure
Repeated overexposure may cause harm to the peripheral nervous system.
4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin
Wash skin with soap and water.

Ingestion
If patient is fully conscious, give two glasses of water, induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention without delay. If medical
advice is delayed, and if the person has swallowed a moderate volume of material (a few ounces), then give three to four
ounces of hard liquor, such as whiskey.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
A knowledge of the available toxicology information and of the physical and chemical properties of the material suggests
that overexposure is unlikely to aggravate existing medical conditions. Additional toxicity information: the international
agency for research on cancer (iarc) has determined that the consumption of alocholic beverages is causally related to the
occurrence of malignant tumors of the oral cavity, pharynx, larnyx, esophagus and liver in humans. The carcinogenic
response attributed to drinking alocholic beverages has not been verified in studies with laboratory animals. Established
uses of denatured ethanol and non-beverage uses of pure ethanol are not considered to pose any significant cancer
hazard.
Notes to Physician
The combination of visual disturbances, metabolic acidosis, and formic acid in the urine is evidence of methanol poisoning.
The therapeutic intravenous administration of ethanol (10 ml per hour) allows it to be preferentially oxidized and reduces
production of methanol metabolites. Acidosis must be treated by means of intravenous sodium bicarbonate, and methanol
elimination may be increased by hemodialysis, as indicated. Treatment should be based on blood methanol levels and
acid-base balance. Folates may be administered to enhance the metabolism of formaldehyde. 4-methyl pyrazole has been
suggested as an antidote: because of its alcohol dehydrogenase inhibiting effects, it reduces the production of formate and
the development of metabolic acidosis. However, the value of this antidote remains to be proven in humans.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Apply alcohol-type or all-purpose-type foam by manufacturer's recommended techniques for large fires. Use carbon dioxide
or dry chemical media for small fires.
Basic Fire Fighting Procedures
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and structures. Use water spray to disperse vapors; re-ignition is possible.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards
Vapors form from this product and may travel or be moved by air currents and ignited by pilot lights, other flames, smoking,
sparks, heaters, electrical equipment, static discharges or other ignition sources at locations distant from product handling
point. Vapors from this material may settle in low or confined areas or travel a long distance to an ignition source and flash
back explosively. This material may produce a floating fire hazard.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak Procedure
Small spills can be flushed with large amounts of water; larger spills should be collected for disposal. Extinguish and do not
turn on any ignition source until the area is determined to be free from fire or explosion hazard. Wear suitable protective
equipment.
7 HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling
Process hazard: sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated
temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the presence of
obvious ignition soruces. Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values cannot be treated as safe operating
temperatures in chemical processes without anaysis of the actual process conditions. Any use of this product in
elevated-temperature processes should be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
Further information is available in a tehcnical bulletin entitled "ignition hazards of organic chemical vapors." transfer hazard:
vapors of this product may be ignited by static sparks. Use proper bonding and grounding during liquid transfer as
described in national fire protection association document nfpa 77.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Routes of Exposure
Swallowing: may cause nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue,
leg cramps, restlessness, confusion, drunken behavior, visual disturbances, drowsiness, coma, and death. There may be a
delay of several hours between swallowing methanol and the onset of signs and symptoms. The effects observed are in
part due to acidosis and partially to cerebral edema. Visual effects include blurred vision, diplopia, changes in color
perception, restriction of visual fields, and complete blindenss. Ingestion of moderate quantities of methanol also produces
metabolic acidosis. Onset of symptoms may be delayed up to 48 hours. 60-200 ml of methanol is a fatal dose for most
adults. Ingestion of as little as 10 ml has caused blindness. With massive overdoes, liver, kidney, and heart muscle injuries
have been described. Skin abosrption: prolonged or widespread contact may result in th abosrption of potentially harmful
amounts of methanol. Inhalation: dizziness and drowsiness may occur. Skin contact: prolonged or repeated contact may
cause discomfort and local redness. Eye contact: may cause mild discomfort. Effects of repeated overexposure: no
adverse effects anticipated from available information. Other health hzards: none currently known.
