Information on the likely routes of exposure
Inhalation may blur vision. Ingesting may irritate the gastrointestinal tract.
Potential acute health effects
Eye contact: Irritating to the eyes.
Inhalation: Acute exposure of humans to methanol by inhalation or ingestion may result in visual disturbances, such
as blurred or dimness of vision, leading to blindness. Neurological damage, specifically permanent motor dysfunction,
may also result.
Skin contact: Contact of skin with methanol can produce mild dermatitis in humans.
Ingestion: Tests involving acute exposure of rats, mice, and rabbits have demonstrated methanol to have low acute
toxicity from oral exposure.
