H225

Highly Flammable liquid and vapour

Hazard statements

The substance is a flammable liquid that burns with a non-luminous, bluish flame. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Methanol is more toxic to humans and primates than to most experimental animals, due to differences in how it is metabolised. Non-primates do not appear to experience the acidosis or vision effects observed in humans and primates Methanol is absorbed following ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure, and the toxicity is the same regardless of the route of exposure. H225 - Highly flammable liquid and vapour H301 - Toxic if swallowed H311 - Toxic in contact with skin H331 - Toxic if inhaled H370 - Causes damage to organs optic nerve, central nervous system
