EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: not available liquid.
Caution! May cause eye, skin, and respiratory
tract irritation.

|
Eyes:
Get medical aid. Gently lift eyelids and flush continuously with wate
r.
Skin:
Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Flush skin with
plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in

Epidemiology:
~~Methanol has been shown to prooduce fetoxicity in the
embryo or fetus in laboratory animals. Specific
developmental abnormalities include:musculoskeletal,
urogenital and cardiovascular systems,
Teratogenicity:
Effects on the newborn by exposure to formaldehyde have
been reported in rats by inhalation, such as behavioral
effects, biochemical and metabolic effects and reduced
weight gain. Cytological changes were also noted. Specific
developmental abnormalities were reported by the
intraperitoneal route of exposure in mice.
Reproductive Effects:
Paternal effects were reported in male rats by inhalation,
oral ingestion and intraperitoneal injection of
formaldehyde. Organs affected included the prostate,
seminal vesicle, Cowpers gland, urethra, testes, sperm duct
and epididymis. Spermatogenesis was also affected.
