3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Clear, Colorless, Volatile Liquid
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for
breathing. Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to
produce toxic and corrosive products. Very mild (if any) eye/skin irritant.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Liquid contact can cause irritation, which may be severe.
SKIN: Liquid contact could cause frostbite.
INGESTION: Not likely to be ingested.
INHALATION: High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness,
unconsciousness, and possibly death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without self-
contained breathing apparatus.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES: Can cause severe eye irritation.
SKIN: Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite ("cold" burn).
INGESTION: Not a likely route of exposure.
INHALATION: High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea,
headaches, paralysis and loss of consciousness).
ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS
depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result.
CHRONIC: Not Established
CARCINOGENICITY: Not Established
MUTAGENICITY: None known.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Not yet Determined
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Contains Methanol which has been established as a teratogen by inhalation. See
Sec.11 for details.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention, if irritation persists.
SKIN: In case of cold burns (frostbite) caused by rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquids, get medical attention
promptly.
INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely because of the physical properties and is not expected to be hazardous. Do not
induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a physician.
