Section 3 - Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
Warning! Causes severe eye irritation. Flammable liquid and vapor. Causes
respiratory tract irritation. This substance has caused adverse reproductive and fetal
effects in humans. May cause central nervous system depression. May cause liver,
kidney and heart damage. Causes moderate skin irritation. Flash Point: 55癋.
Target Organs: Kidneys, Heart, Central nervous system, Liver, Eyes, Optic nerve
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:
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:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Get medical aid.
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.

Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. 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.
Autoignition Temperature:
793癋 ( 422.78癈)
Explosion Limits:
Lower: 3.3 Upper: 19.0
Flash Point:
55癋 ( 12.78癈)
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 3; Instability: 0
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.

Epidemiology:
Ethanol has been shown to produce fetotoxicity in the embryo or fetus of laboratory animals.Prenatal
exposure to ethanol is associated with a distinct pattern of congenital malformations that have collectively
been termed the "fetal alcohol syndrome".Methanol has been shown to produce fetotoxicity in the embryo
or fetus of laboratory animals. Specific developmental abnormalities include cardiovascular,
musculoskeletal, and urogenital systems.
Teratogenicity:
Oral, Human - woman: TDLo = 41 gm/kg (female 41 week(s) after conception) Effects on Newborn - Apgar
score (human only) and Effects on Newborn - other neonatal measures or effects and Effects on Newborn
- drug dependence.
Reproductive:
Intrauterine, Human - woman: TDLo = 200 mg/kg (female 5 day(s) pre-mating) Fertility - female fertility
index (e.g. # females pregnant per # sperm positive females; # females pregnant per # females mated).
Mutagenicity:

Ecotoxicity:
Fish: Rainbow trout: LC50 = 12900-15300 mg/L; 96 Hr; Flow-through @ 24-24.3癈
Fish: Rainbow trout: LC50 = 11200 mg/L; 24 Hr; Fingerling (Unspecified)
Bacteria: Phytobacterium phosphoreum: EC50 = 34900 mg/L; 5-30 min; Microtox test
When 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.
Environmental:
When released to the atmosphere it will photodegrade in hours
(polluted urban atmosphere) to an estimated range of 4 to 6 days in less polluted areas. Rainout should be
significant.
