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
