3. Hazardous Identification
Potential Health Effects
Overexposure by inhalation to Isopropanol may include irritation of the upper respiratory passages, with coughing and discomfort. Ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and loss of consciousness. Inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact may initially include nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache, and abdominal pain, flushing of the face, hypotension, or weakness. Higher exposures to Isopropanol may lead to temporary nervous system depression with anesthetic effects such as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination, and loss of consciousness or fatality from gross overexposure. There are rare inconclusive reports of human sensitization to Isopropanol.
May cause eye irritation. Direct exposure may cause skin irritation (redness, swelling). A single prolonged exposure may result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
Eye contact with the product ingredients may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Direct exposure may cause skin irritation (redness, swelling). A single prolonged exposure may result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
In general, overexposure to high atmospheric concentrations of alkyl-substituted aromatics may produce central nervous depression, headache, dizziness, incoordination, nausea and loss of appetite. Aspiration (liquid enters the lung), may cause lung damage due to chemical pneumonia, a condition caused by petroleum-like solvents.
Minute amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possible death.
Individuals with preexisting diseases of the kidneys or liver may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA, ACGIH as carcinogens.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Skin Contact
Flush skin with water after contact. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact
In case of contact immediately, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
Ingestion
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Allow victim to rinse his mouth and then to drink 2 4 cupfuls of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare activated charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in 400-ml water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 ml/kg or 350 ml for an average adult.
Because of the danger of aspiration, emesis or gastric lavage should not be employed unless the risk is justified by the presence of additional toxic substances. Activated charcoal may induce vomiting, but may be given after emesis or lavage to absorb toxic additives. Steroid therapy in mild to moderate cases does not improve outcome. Bacterial pneumonia often occurs after exposure, but prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated and should be reserved for documented bacterial pneumonia.
5. Fire Fighting Measures

Isopropyl Alcohol is not a skin irritant, is a mild eye irritant, and is untested for animal sensitization. The effects in animals from single exposure by inhalation include microscopic and morphologic changes of the epithilial cells of the nose and middle ear mucosa. Repeated exposures resulted in narcosis and fatty degeneration of the liver. No lung tumors were observed in a long term inhalation exposure. Single dermal application of a 70% solution showed significant skin absorption. Repeated of the skin. Long term dermal applications of a 50% solution to the face of rats resulted in no adverse effects. Toxicity described in animals from single ingestion exposure include narcotic effects. Repeated administration of approximately 6 g/kg in rats demonstrated no effects on growth or liver weights. Long term administration of a 1% solution to rats caused effects on body weight gain and growth. Dogs administered 1300 mg/kg exhibited signs of drunkenness. No adequate animal test reports are available to define carcinogenic hazards. Continuedoluntary drinking of 2.5% aqueous Isopropyl Alcohol through two successive generations of rats produced no reproductive effects. Developmental toxicity was observed only at maternally toxic dose levels. The compound does not produce genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell cultures but has not been tested in animals.
