Health Physical Acute Toxicity (Oral) Flammable Liquids EMERGENCY OVERVIEW IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: DANGER! Poison. Extremely Flammable Liquid and vapor. Contains methanol. Cannot be made non-poisonous. May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Liquid and vapor harmful. May cause central nervous system depression. May be irritating to eyes and skin. Use only in well ventilated areas.

Potential health effects

EYES: Liquid is moderately irritating to the eyes. High vapor concentrations may also be irritating. Direct contact with the liquid or exposure to its vapors or mists may cause stinging, tearing, redness. SKIN: Liquid is moderately irritating to the skin. May cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, burning sensation and/or swelling. Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash). INGESTION: Liquid is moderately toxic and may be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion of product may result in vomiting; aspiration (breathing) of vomitus into the lungs must be avoided as even small quantities may result in aspir. pneumonitis. Serious lung damage and possibly fatal chemical pneumonia (chemical pneumonitis) can develop if this occurs. May cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light- headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Significant exposure may result in unconsciousness and death. INHALATION: High vapor concentrations may cause CNS stimulation (increased activity, shaking, tremors) and/or depression (fatigue, dizziness, and possibly loss of concentration, with collapse, coma and death in cases of severe over-exposure). SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE ACUTE TOXICITY: Early to moderate CNS depression may be evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness, and nausea; in extreme cases, unconsciousness and death may occur. Aspiration pneumonitis may be evidenced by coughing, labored breathing and cyanosis (bluish skin). In severe cases death may result.
