Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
FoodCare® FCSL is regarded as low-hazard. However, as a consequence of the presence of methanol, albeit at a low concentration (below the 25% at which level methanol can be ignited) the following precautions need to be observed: i. Route of Entry: Skin contact – moderate Eye contact – moderate Ingestion – major Inhalation – major ii. Effects of Short – term (Acute) Exposure: a. Inhalation – of high airborne concentrations can, cause headaches, sleepiness, nausea, confusion, digestive and visual disturbances. b. Concentrations in air exceeding 1000ppm may cause irritation of the mucous membranes. iii. Skin contact – moderately irritating to the skin. Can be absorbed through the skin with effects similar to those described in “inhalation”. iv. Eye contact – mild to moderate eye irritant. High vapour concentrations or liquid contact with the eyes causes irritation and burning. v. Ingestion – swallowing even small amounts of pure 99% methanol could potentially cause blindness or death. Effects of sub lethal doses MAY BE nausea, headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting and visual disturbance ranging from blurred vision to light sensitivity.
