2 / 10 PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE : Ey e, Skin, Inha lation HUMAN HEALTH HAZARDS

- ACUTE : EYE CONTACT : May cause irritation with prolonged contact. SKIN CONTACT : May cause irritation with prolonged contact. Toxic in contact with skin. Methanol may be absorbed through the skin and cause central nervous sy stem effects which may result in permanent visual changes including blindness. INGESTION : Not a likely route of exposure. May cause nausea and vomiting. Can cause central nervous s ystem depression. Toxic if swallowed. The main hazard of methyl alcohol arises from its misuse as a drinking substitute for ethyl alcohol. As little as 15 ml of 40% methyl alcohol may cause death. Sublethal doses may cause central nervous sy stem effect s and ma y result in permanent visual changes including blindness. INHALATION : Toxic by inhalation. AGGRAVATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS : Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis condition. 

### 4. **FIRST A ID ME**  **AS URES**  EYE CONTACT : Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If sy mp toms develop, seek medical advice. SKIN CONTACT : Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Use a mild soap if available. For a large splash, flood body und er a shower. Get medical attention. Contami nated clothing, shoes, and leather goods must be discarded or cleaned before re
- use. INGESTION : Get immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting: contains petroleum distillates and/or aromatic solvents. If conscious, washout mouth and give water to drink. INHALATION : Remove to fresh air, treat sy mptomatically. Get medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN : Based on the individual reactions of the patient, the physician's judgement should be used to control sy mp toms and clinical condition.

### 6. **AC CIDENTA**  **L RELE ASE MEA**  **SURES** PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS : Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean
- up operations are complete. Use personal protective equipment recommended in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection). Stop or reduce any leaks if it is safe to do so. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ventilate spill area if possible. Remove sources of ign ition. Ensure clean
- up is conducted by trained personnel only. Do not touch spilled material. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available. Notify appropriate government, occupational health and safety and environmental a uthorities. METHODS FOR CLEANING UP : SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled container. W ash affected area. LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging tre nches or by diking. Reclaim into recovery or salvage drums or tank truck for proper disposal. Clean contaminated surfaces with water or aqueous cleaning agents. Contact an approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered ma terial. Dispose o f material in compliance with regulations indicated in Section 13 (Disposal Considerations). ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS : Prevent material from entering sewers or waterway s. 

### 7. **HA NDLING A**  **ND STORA GE**  HANDLING : Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothi ng. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapors/gases/dust. Keep the containers closed when not in use. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks,
