Potential health effects

The toxicology of this compound have not been completely examined. It is presumed that the toxicity of this item is similar to other aliphatic alcohols. Inhalation: Alcohols are absorbed through the mucous membranes and will produce irritation as well as the same effects as ingestion. Ingestion: Inhalation will produce CNS disturbance, dizziness, photophobia, headache, stupor, coma and death. Skin contact: Alcohols are absorbed through the skin. Repeated contact causes defatting of the skin with resultant irritation and flaking. Eye contact: May be irritating Chronic Exposure: Unknown Aggravation of preexisting conditions: Impaired kidney and liver function may be aggravated by exposure to alcohols. Preexisting eye, skin, and respiratory conditions may also be aggravated.
