SECTION VI- HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 

INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:  Inhalation of high airborne concentration can irritate mucous membranes, cause headaches, sleepiness and death.

 

NATURE OF HAZARD:

EYES:

High vapor concentration or liquid contact causes irritation, tearing and burning.

 

INGESTION:

Swallowing Methanol is life threatening.  Onset of symptoms may be delayed for 18 to 24 hours after ingestion.  Swallowing even small amounts of methanol may cause blindness and death, other effects may be nausea, headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, and visual disturbances ranging from blurred vision to light sensitivity.  CANNOT BE MADE NONPOISONOUS.

 

CARCINOGENICITY:

NTP?

IARC?

OSHA REGULATED?

Presently not on any list

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:  NA

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

 

INGESTION:  If medical aid is not immediately available DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  Get medical attention immediately.  Do not give anything to an unconscious or convulsing person.  Keep victim’s head below hips while vomiting so victim does not breathe the vomitus into his lungs.  Ingestion of as little as 60 ml may cause blindness or fatality.

INHALATION:  Remove patient to fresh air.  Give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.

 

SKIN AND EYE CONTACT:

 

EYES:  Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart to ensure complete flushing.  Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents.  Get medical help immediately.

SKIN:   Remove contaminated clothing and wash under shower for 15 minutes.  Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.  Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing. Do not wear clothing until washed.

 

NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:  Provide standard methanol ingestion treatment.  To prepare the antidote, make a solution using 100 ml or 100 proof ethyl alcohol (grain alcohol) in 2000 ml of water and give 1.5 ml/kg body weight or 100 ml for an average adult.  Following this at 2 hour intervals for four days, give the antidote (0.5-1.0 ml/kg of body weight, orally or intravenously) to reduce the metabolism of the methanol and allow time for its excretion.  Blood ethanol levels should be 1.0-1.5 mg/ml.

 

SECTION VII- PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:  Remove all sources of ignition, avoid breathing vapors, and remove with inert absorbent.  Dispose of as hazardous waste.

 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:  Dispose of in accordance wtih federal, state, and local regeulations regarding pollution.  NOTE:  Empty containers can have residues, gases, and mists and are subject to proper waste disposal as above.

 

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:  Keep away from heat, sparks, or open flame.  Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool dry well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials.  Vent containers if needed on extremely warm days to relieve pressure.  Do not store in direct sunlight, above 120° F or discard in trash compactor.

 

SECTION VIII- CONTROL MEASURES

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:  Usually not required if it is used as it is described on the label. If necessary, wear a NIOSH approved respirator appropriate for emissions levels.
