EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: WARNING: For Mixture: POISON! DANGER! For Ethyl Alcohol: Acute Hazards: Eyes: Ingestion: Inhalation: Skin: Chronic Hazards: Exposure: Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: For Methyl Alcohol: Acute Hazards: Eyes: Ingestion: Inhalation: Skin: Chronic Hazards: Eyes: Skin: Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: May be fatal if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Vapor Harmful. Flammable. Effects Central Nervous System. May cause blindness. Cannot be made not poisonous. Can cause irritation. Splashes may cause temporary pain and blurred vision. May cause CNS depression, nausea, gastritis, intoxication, vomiting, diarrhea, blindness and in acute cases cause death. May cause headaches, drowsiness, lassitude, loss of appetite, the ability to concentrate and irritation of the throat. May cause irritation, cracking or flaking due to dehydration and defatting action. May result in irritation of mucous membranes, headaches and/or symptoms of CNS depression such as drowsiness and lack of concentration. Excessive long-term exposure may also produce liver damage. Continued ingestion could result in blindness. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired liver or kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance. May cause irritation. Continued exposure may cause lesions. Toxic, symptoms parallel inhalation. Can intoxicate and cause blindness. Usual fatal dose is 100-125 milliliters. Slight irritant to mucous membranes. Toxic effects exerted on nervous system, particularly the optic nerve. Once absorbed into the body, it is very slowly eliminated. Symptoms of overexposure may include headache, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, blindness, coma and death. A person may get better then get worse again up to 30 hours later. A defatting agent, may cause skin to become dry and cracked. Skin absorption may occur, symptoms may parallel inhalation exposure. Marked impairment of vision has been reported. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause irritation. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired liver or kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance. SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION CONTINUED EMERGENCY OVERVIEW CONTINUED: For Isopropyl Alcohol: Acute Hazards: Eyes: Vapors cause irritation. Splashes cause severe irritation, possible corneal burns and eye damage. Ingestion: Can cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, and death. Gastrointestinal pain, cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also result. The single lethal dose for a human adult is about 250 milliliters (8 ounces). Inhalation: Vapors irritate the respiratory tract. Exposure to high concentrations has a narcotic effect, producing symptoms of dizziness, drowsiness, headache, staggering, unconsciousness and possibly death. Skin: May cause irritation with redness and pain. May be absorbed through the skin with possible systemic effects. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired liver, kidney or pulmonary function may be more susceptible to the effects of this agent. May irritate eyes, skin and respiratory tract. For Thymol: Eyes: Irritating. Inhalation: Vapor is irritating to throat and lungs. Ingestion: May cause serious health effects if swallowed. Skin: Irritating. For Alpha-Tocopherol: Eyes: May cause irritation. Ingestion: May be harmful. Inhalation: May be harmful. Skin: May cause irritation. CARCINOGENICITY: Isopropyl Alcohol is not classifiable as a human carcinogen by IARC. Alcoholic beverages have been determined to be carcinogenic to humans by IARC. Ethyl Alcohol is not classified as a human carcinogen by ACGIH. Chronic Ethyl Alcohol consumption has been linked to liver cancer. All other components are not listed as carcinogens by ACGIH, IRAC or NTP.
