P337 + P313 - If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. P321 - Specific treatment, see supplemental first aid information. P308 + P313 - If exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. Storage/Disposal P405 - Store locked up. P403+P235 - Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool. P501 - Dispose of content and/or container in accordance with local, regional, national, and/or international regulations.

2.3 Other hazards

None known Emergency Response Overview Physical State: Liquid. Highly Flammable liquid/vapor (Flash Point = 50 °F). Potentially explosive vapor. High vapor pressure (VP = 46 mm Hg) and heavier than air (VD = 1.6). Use an alcohol resistant foam to suppress fires. May cause irritation to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. May affect the central nervous system. May be harmful or fatal if swallowed. May be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Routes of Entry: Inhalation; skin contact; eye contact; and ingestion. Page 2 of 8 Color/Odor: Colorless liquid. Petroleum/alcohol like odor. The odor threshold of ethanol is reported between 50 and 1,000 ppm.

Potential health effects

Symptoms of Acute Exposure Eye: May cause severe eye irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision and conjunctivitis. Skin: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause irritation, dermatitis, defatting, redness, itching and inflammation. Injection through the skin may cause swelling and be extremely painful. Inhalation: May cause upper respiratory irritation. Exposures over 1,000 ppm may cause central nervous system (CNS) effects such as excitation, euphoria, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, fatigue, loss of appetite, and an inability to concentrate. At higher concentrations there may be a loss of reflexes, convulsions, seizures, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest and death. Ingestion: Toxic if swallowed. Ingestion can cause drunkenness, depression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, liver damage and death. Aspiration into the lungs can cause severe chemical pneumonitis or pulmonary edema or hemorrhage which may be fatal. May cause harmful CNS effects similar to those listed under “Inhalation”.

Potential chronic health

Long term exposure to denatured ethanol may cause loss of appetite, weight loss, nervousness, memory loss and liver damage. May also cause dermatitis, malnutrition, amnesia, dementia, cardiac myopathy, hepatotoxicity, GI bleeding, pancreatitis, and death.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Pre-existing disorders of the CNS, liver, respiratory system, skin, eyes and GI track may be aggravated by exposure to denatured ethanol.
