The odour threshold of methanol is several times higher than the TLV-TWA
Routes of Expose
swallowed, inhalation, eye and skin
Acute effects and symptoms
- Swallowing even small amounts of methanol may cause blindness or death
- Effects of sub lethal doses may be nausea, headache, abdominal pain,
vomiting and visual disturbances ranging from blurred vision to light
sensitivity
- Inhalation of high concentrations: irritation of the mucous membranes,
headache, sleepiness, nausea, confusion, loss of consciousness, digestive
and visual disturbances and death
- High vapour concentration or contact with liquid: irritation of the eyes,
tearing and burning
- May be absorbed through the skin in toxic or lethal amounts
Acute effects and symptoms
- Repeated exposure by inhalation or absorption:
systemic poisoning, brain disorders, impaired vision and blindness
- Inhalation may worsen conditions such as emphysema or bronchitis
- Repeated skin contact may cause dermal irritation, dryness and cracking
