Methanol

Causes eye irritation. Toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Danger of very serious irreversible
effects if sw allow ed. Can be aspired into lungs during ingestion or vomiting. Aspiration can
cause potentially fatal injury to the lungs. Chronic inhalation has show n to cause diminished
vision. Acute oral and dermal exposure has show n to cause optic nerve effects, diminished
vision and brain effects (necrosis and hemorrhaging). At first, symptoms of severe exposure
are nausea, headache, vomiting, dizziness. The latent period is follow ed by development of
metabolic acidosis and severe visual effects. Coma and death are usually due to respiratory
failure. Fetotoxic and teratogenic effects observed in controlled animal studies.
Aliphatic acids
Caused skin sensitization in guinea pigs.
Prop-2-yn-1-ol
Caused internal bleeding in animals upon dermal exposure. Caused irritation of the mucous
membranes in animals.
Aliphatic alcohols, ethoxylated Harmful if sw allow ed. Risk of serious damage to eyes.
