Health hazards

Eyes contact Severe eye irritant: isopropanol vapors can irritate eyes beginning at approx. 400 ppm. Eye damage from contact with liquid is reversible and proper treatment will result in healing within a few days. Damage is usually mild to moderate conjunctivitis, seen mainly as redness of the conjunctiva. Skin Absorption: No adverse effects with normal skin. However, potentially harmful amounts of material may be absorbed across markedly abraded skin when contact is sustained, particularly in children. Skin Contact: Mild irritant. Repeated or prolonged exposure may lead to drying and cracking. Ingestion: May cause drowsiness, gastrointestinal pain, cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; unconsciousness and death may follow massive exposures. Inhalation: Mild irritation of the upper respiratory tract may begin at approx. 400 ppm. High concentrations may cause drowsiness, lack of coordination, and deep narcosis.
