SECTION 2: Hazards identification

NFPA Rating Danger: Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and hot surfaces. No smoking. Keep container tightly closed. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautions against static discharge. Wear protective clothes and eye protection. In case of skin contact immediately remove all contaminated clothing. Rinse with water or shower. In case of fire, use fire extinguishers approved for alcohol fires. Safety Ratings Health Hazardous Flammability Highly flammable liquid and vapor Reactivity Slight Contact Slight Recommended safety equipment: safety goggles, lab coat and proper gloves

Potential health effects

Copper sulfate is moderately toxic. It is presumed that the toxicity of this item is similar to that of other copper compounds. 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 with alcohols causes defatting of the skin with resultant irritation and flaking. Repeated contact with copper sulfate can cause systemic poisoning. Eye contact: Irritating and corrosive. Chronic Exposure: Unknown, Aggravation of preexisting conditions: Impaired kidney and liver function may be aggravated by exposure to alcohols and/ or copper sulfate. Preexisting eye, skin, and respiratory conditions may also be aggravated. Methanol has shown genetic toxicity in some animals.
