Principle Routes of Exposure

EYES SKIN INHALATION EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Acute: Eyes: Vapor may cause irritation, experienced as discomfort, with excess tear production and blinking, and seen as excess redness of the eye. Liquid may cause more severe irritation and possible corneal injury. Skin: Brief contact may cause slight irritation. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with material, may cause more severe irritation and discomfort, seen as local redness and swelling. In addition to the potential skin irritation effects noted above, skin contact may result in other adverse health effects. Inhalation: Vapors or mist, in excess of permissible concentrations, or in unusually high concentrations generated from spraying, heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may cause irritation of the nose and throat, headache, nausea, and drowsiness. Inhalation may cause dizziness, drowsiness, euphoria, loss of coordination, disorientation, headache, nausea, and vomiting. In poorly ve ntilated areas or confined spaces, unconsciousness and asphyxiation may result. Inhalation may result in the absorption of potentially harmful amounts of material. Ingestion: Contains methanol which is toxic if swallowed. Causes abdominal discomfort or pain, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, headache, weakness, loss of coordination, difficulty walking, difficulty seeing, dizziness, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and coma. Visual effects include blurred vision, double vision, tunnel vision, changes in color perception, and blindness. Symptoms may be delayed. Severe poisoning may cause liver, kidney, and heart muscle damage and/or death. Aspiration may occur during swallowing or vomiting, resulting in lung damage. Sensitization Properties: Unknown. Chronic: Prolonged and repeated overexposure to methanol by skin contact, ingestion, or inhalation may produce chronic poisoning, with nausea, vomiting, headache, ringing in the ears, difficulty walking, dizziness, impaired vision, and liver and kidney damage. In severe chronic overexposure cases, permanent eye damage or blindness may occur.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Over Exposure Repeated overexposure may aggravate cardiovascular, liver, and kidney disease. Repeated overexposure may aggravate or enhance existing nervous system dysfunction. Because of its irritating properties, repeated skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis (skin condition). Other Remarks: This product contains methanol. Methanol poisoning can occur via the lungs, skin, or by ingestion. _____________________________________________________________________________
