4. First aid measures:
4.1. General information Remove contaminated clothing immediately and dispose of safely. If the patient is likely to become
unconscious, place and transport in stable sideways position. If methanol was inhaled, swallowed, the
substance got into contact with the eyes or skin immediate medical attention is needed. Exposure methanol
symptoms after ingestion and inhalation may be delayed. When administering first aid, please avoid direct
contact with the substance and pay attention to self-defence.
After inhalation: Summon a doctor immediately. In case of respiratory arrest induce breathing with a respiratory device. Seek
medical advice. Ensure supply of fresh air.
After ingestion: Methanol ingestion is life-threatening. Seek medical attention immediately!. In case of respiratory arrest induce
breathing with a respiratory device. Seek medical advice. Ensure supply of fresh air. The symptoms may be
delayed, 8-24 hours. If the victim is conscious, immediately rinse mouth, give him plenty of water to drink,
induce vomiting (only conscious people!). Give 50 ml of 30% ethanol, which is suitable for drinking. Consider
administration of salt solution (0.5 litres of water 2-3 tablespoons). Does not apply to infants. Never give
anything by mouth to a person.
After skin contact: In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with soap and water. After eye. Remove contaminated
clothing. Wash the affected area with plenty of cold running water and soap at least 10 to 20 minutes to avoid a
mechanical irritation. Wash clothing before reusing. If skin irritation remains seek medical attention
immediately.
After eye contact: In case of contact with eyes rinse thoroughly with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, Methanol poisoning symptoms can occur 8-24 hours. These symptoms and signs are usually limited to the
both acute and delayed: central nervous system and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Single oral doses can lead to major side-effects such
as: deterioration of the appearance of the skin irritation. Methanol poisoning symptoms can resemble the
symptoms of alcohol poisoning.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical The patient is recommended to have a doctor's care for at least 72 hours after exposure.
attention and special treatment needed: Ethyl alcohol can be used to treat Methanol poisoning because it significantly reduces toxicity.
Treatment is symptomatic.
5. Fire-fighting measures:
5.1. Suitable extinguishing media: Alcohol-resistant foam; Extinguishing powder; Water spray; Carbon dioxide. Water spray (large amounts of
water), powder, alcohol-resistant foam extinguishing. The water is suitable for cooling but may be insufficient
because of its temperature may not be cooled below the last Methanol flash point.
Unsuitable extinguishing single water jet.
5.2. Special exposure hazards arising Combustion products of this material have to be classed invariably as respiratory poison. In the event of fire,
from the substance or preparation itself, the following can be released: Carbon monoxide (CO).
combustion products, resulting gases:
5.3 Special protective equipment for Wear full protective suit. Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases. Fire-fighting operations, rescue
fire-fighters: and clearing work under effect of combustion and smoulder gases just may be done with breathing apparatus.
Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed off in accordance with the local regulations.
Cool endangered containers with water spray jet.
6. Accidental release measures:
6.1. Personal precautions Keep away sources of ignition. Use personal protective clothing. Keep people away and stay on the upwind
side. Isolate hazard area. Evacuated individuals who do not participate in the rescue operation to avoid the
risk of entering the area. Remove all possible sources of ignition. If necessary relocate fluid building sand or
other suitable absorbent material bulwarks. Use explosion-proof equipment and tools. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes and clothing. Immediately remove all contaminated clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapours. Do not walk off
the spilled material as it can burn an invisible flame. Use breathing apparatus with a shield and fire protective
clothing. Medical examination on exposed humans. Inform the competent authority in accordance with the
requirements of the legislation.
6.2. Environmental precautions: Suppress gases/vapours/mists with water spray jet. Prevent spread over a wide area (e.g. by containment or
oil barriers). Do not allow to enter drains or waterways.
6.3. Methods for cleaning up/taking up: Pick up with absorbent material. Suck off by room ventilation.

7. Handling and storage
7.1. Handling Use in the substance use, transport and packaging sealed devices. The work area must be equipped with an
efficient exhaust ventilation. Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation, if necessary).
Advice on protection against fire and explosion: keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking.
Take precautionary measures against static charges. Methanol handling is not permitted if the ventilation is not
right. Follow all fire fighting measures ( no smoking, do not handle with a naked flame and eliminate all possible
sources of ignition). Methanol vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Use explosion- proof electrical
equipment. The workplace must be equipped with a ground wire. Use the recommended personal protective
equipment and follow the instructions to prevent any inhalation, contact with skin and eyes ( see section 6 )
.Avoid leakage to the environment. Methanol check the content of the workplace atmosphere. Extinguishing
media should be kept handy. Loading of the product container must be carried out under a blanket of nitrogen.
Containers should be grounded during transfer operations. Empty containers should be washed immediately
with plenty of water. Storage area should comply with the fire safety requirements, structures and electrical
equipment shall be in accordance with current requirements. Methanol storage facilities must be located
downwind of the prevailing wind direction relative to the main populated locations. Advice on safe handling :

12.2. Mobility: Methanol has a high mobility in soil. Methanol dissolves easily in water. Details: appearance, solubility, vapour
pressure and see Section 9.
12.3. Persistence and degradability: Methanol decomposition reactions in the atmosphere due to the action of hydroxyl radicals. Half of coating time
in the troposphere is about 17-18 days. Methanol is thus slowly crumbling photochemical process. Methanol is
chemically stable in water, such as alcohol, lack of hydrolysable groups. Biotic degradation. Methanol is readily
biodegradable in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions in various environments, including freshwater and
marine water, sediment, soil, groundwater, and industrial wastewater.

13. Disposal:
13.1. Chemical Disposal: Waste must be disposed of in accordance with national and local legislation on waste. As much as possible
methanol is recycled. Significant quantities Methanol waste will be either recycled or in case of pollution
incinerated. At a concentration of 0.1%, it's like a medium for bacteria. Methanol can be used in sewage
treatment plant. If the threshold is exceeded, it can be toxic to microorganisms.
