Disposal

P501: Dispose of contents/container in accordance with all local/regional/national/international regulations. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to benzyl alcohol. Vapors may cause respiratory tract irritation and a burning sensation. High vapor concentrations, ingestion and skin absorption may cause headache, sore throat, coughing, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Severe cases may result in respiratory and muscular paralysis, convulsions, narcosis and death. Direct contact with liquid may cause eye and skin irritation, allergic skin reaction and anesthetic (numbing) effects. Mild to severe lung injury can occur if benzyl alcohol is drawn into lungs after swallowing or vomiting after swallowing.

Potential health effects

SKIN ABSORPTION: May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is moderate. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration. Ingestion may cause burns of mouth and throat. INHALATION: Persons with asthmatic type conditions, chronic bronchitis or other respiratory diseases, or recurrent skin eczema or sensitization should be excluded from working with the product.
