been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans, and may aggravate pre-existing disorders of these organs; visual impairment, liver damage. Developmental information: • While there is sufficient evidence that methanol causes birth defects in experimental animals, the relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain because of the differences in metabolism and toxicity of methanol between humans and non-primates. This product contains ethanol. Alcoholic beverage consumption has been associated with birth defects in humans. The relevance of this finding to ethanol exposure in industrial environments is uncertain. CANCER INFORMATION; This product contains ethanol. lARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) has determined that exposure to ethanol through chronic human consumption of alcoholic beverages can cause cancer. The relevance of this finding to ethanol exposure in industrial environments is uncertain. OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS: No Data PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Inhalation, Skin absorption. Skin contact. Eye contact

SECTION 4. KRST AID MEASURES

EYES: If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Hush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical attention. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse. SWALLOWING: If swallowed, seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth; place individual on the left side with the head down. If individual is conscious and alert, induce vomiting by giving syrup of ipecac or by gently placing two fingers at the back of the throat If possible, do not leave individual unattended. INHALATION: If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet If person is not breathing, begin artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: This product contains methanol which can cause intoxication and central nervous system depression. Methanol is metabolized to formic acid and formaldehyde. These metabolites can cause metabolic acidosis, visual disturbances and blindness. Since metabolism is required for these toxic symptoms, their onset may be delayed from 6 to 30 hours following ingestion. Ethanol competes for the same metabolic pathway and has been used to prevent methanol metabolism. Ethanol administration is indicated in symptomatic patients or at blood methanol concentrations above 20 ug/dl. Methanol is effectively removed by hemodialysis.
