SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview:	Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause harm to unborn children. Possible risk of impaired fertility.
Primary Routes of Exposure:	Ingestion, Inhalation
Eye Contact:	Causes slight to mild irritation of the eyes.
Skin Contact:	Toxic in contact with skin. Causes slight to mild irritation of the skin.
Inhalation:	Toxic by inhalation. Inhalation causes irritation of the respiratory tract and could lead to headache and dizziness.
Ingestion:	Toxic if swallowed.
Acute Health Effects:	Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Inhalation and ingestion of methanol can cause blindness and coma.
Chronic Health Effects:	No information available on this specific compound. Prolonged exposure to methanol may damage eyes, kidneys, and liver, and cause permanent blindness. In animal studies methanol has acted as a reproductive effector.
NTP:	No
IARC:	No
OSHA:	No

SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Exposure:	Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Exposure:	Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists.
Inhalation:	Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance.
Ingestion:	Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel.
