2.3 Other hazards

Hydrolysis of this product releases ethanol. Overexposure to ethanol by skin absorption, inhalation or ingestion may have a narcotic effect (headache, nausea, drowsiness). Ethanol is metabolized to acetaldehyde and acetic acid which in large quantities cause metabolic acidosis, CNS depression and death due to respiratory arrest. This product releases ethanol during hydrolysis which is classified as a carcinogen by IARC in alcoholic beverages.
