Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Flammable Liquid
Poison
Irritant
Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin
Section 4 - First-Aid Measures
Inhalation: May be fatal if inhaled. Symptoms of exposure may include
burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath,
headache, nausea, and vomiting. If inhaled, move victim to fresh air.
If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Contact physician.
Skin Contact: May be fatal if absorbed through the skin. In case of
contact, immediately wash the skin with soap and copious amounts of
water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing promptly.
Eye Contact: Vapor or mist is irritating to the eyes. Contamination of
the eyes should be treated by immediate and prolonged irrigation
with copious amounts of water while separating the eyelids with
fingers. Contact Physician.
Ingestion: May be fatal if swallowed. Death from ingestion of 30 ml.
of methanol has been reported. The usual fatal dose is 250-300 ml. If
ingested, wash mouth with water and INDUCE vomiting. Call "Poison
Control Center" for assistance. Do not induce vomiting or administer
liquids to an unconscious person. Contact physician immediately.

DISCLAIMER: This Safety Data Sheet is offered without charge to the clients
of Agilent. Data is the most current available to Agilent at the time of
preparation and is issued as a matter of information only, no warranty as to
its accuracy or completeness is expressed or implied.
Agilent Part Number: 200-0100
Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective clothing and
self contained positive pressure breathing apparatus certified by NIOSH
when fighting chemically related fires.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Volatile and highly flammable.
Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash
back. Container explosion may occur under fire conditions.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Shut off all sources of ignition. Use noncombustible absorbent to
absorb the spill. Due to the small quantity involved, a leaking
ampoule may be placed in a plastic bag containing absorbent and
disposed of as hazardous waste according to local regulations. Used
absorbent should be disposed of in a similar manner. See Section 15.
Personal protective equipment should be worn during remediation of
accidental releases according to the nature and quantity of the
material involved. See Section 8 for a description of recommended
personal protective equipment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Do not breathe vapor and avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Store in a cool dry place. Keep away from oxidizing agents. Proper
storage must be determined based on other materials stored and their
hazards and potential chemical incompatibility. Store in an acceptable
protected and secure liquid flammable storage cabinet or room.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is required to protect personnel from
exposure to chemical vapors exceeding PEL and to minimize fire hazards.
See Section 15 for regulatory standards of exposure.
Respiratory: Use NIOSH approved respirator equipment.
Eyes: Safety glasses are considered minimum protection. Chemical safety
goggles or face shield may be necessary depending on quantity of
material and conditions of use. Emergency eye wash fountains should be
available in the vicinity of any possible exposure.
Skin: Chemical-resistant protective gloves and clothing are
recommended. The choice of protective gloves or clothing must be based
on chemical resistance and other user requirements. Generally BUNA-N
offers acceptable chemical resistance. Individuals who are acutely and
specifically sensitive to this chemical may require additional
protective clothing.

ventilation.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Methanol is incompatible with
oxidizing agents. The analytes are also incompatible with strong
oxidizing agents and some may corrode metal.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Incomplete combustion may
generate carbon monoxide and hydrogen halide gases.
Hazardous Polymerization: May Occur ( ) / Will Not Occur ( x)
Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes
Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
Health Hazard Acute/Chronic: Methanol may be fatal by inhalation,
ingestion or skin absorption. Long term exposure may lead to visual
impairment or complete blindness, acidosis, and convulsions.
Carcinogenicity: (Methanol)
NTP? No
IARC Monographs? No
OSHA Regulated? No
Other? No
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Preclude from
exposure those individuals with diseases of the eyes, liver, kidney and
lungs.
Section 12 - Ecological Information
Persistence/Degradability: Releases to the atmosphere will degrade by
action with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with a half-life
of 17.8 days. Physical removal from air can occur via rainfall.
Releases to water will primarily be removed by biodegradation. If
methanol is released to the soil, it is expected to degrade via
biodegradation and be susceptible to significant leaching. Relatively
rapid evaporation from dry surfaces is likely to occur.
Biodegradability: Methanol is a biological decomposition product of
biological wastes and sewage.
Agilent Part Number: 200-0100
Bioaccumulation: Methanol has been identified as a natural emission
product from various plants.
Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and
scrubber. Comply fully with all Federal, State, and local regulations.
