Target Organ Statement
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired liver or kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Skin
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eyes
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
| Flash Point | 142 F | Flammable Limits | N.A. |
| Flash Point Method | TCC | Autoignition temperature | N.A. |
Extinguishing media
Dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide. (Water may be ineffective.)
Protective Equipment
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Thermal decomposition products may include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Above flashpoint, vapor air mixtures are explosive. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back. Sealed containers may rupture when heated.
| NFPA Codes: | Health | 1 | Flammability | 2 | Reactivity | 0 |
6. Accidential Release Measures
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled
Contain and clean up spill immediately, prevent from entering floor drains. Contain liquids using absorbents. Shovel all spill materials into disposal drum. Scrub spill area with detergent, flush with copious amounts of water.
Waste Disposal Method
Disposal must be made in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
Personal Precautions
Wear appropriate protective equipment as specified in section 8.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling
Avoid contact and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cooled, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat or ignition. Protect from physical damage. Isolate from incompatible materials (section 10).
Storage Temperature
Room Temperature
Disposal
Observe all national, state, and local regulations regarding disposal.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits
| Component: Ethanol | |
| ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): | 1000 ppm |
| OSHA Permissable Exposure Limit (PEL): | |
Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborn Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.
Respiratory Protection
If exposure limits are exceeded, wear a full-face respirator with organic vapor cartridge and high efficiency dust mist filter. Beyond fifty times exposure limits or when exposure levels are not known, wear a full-face piece positive pressure respirator.
Eye Protection
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Skin Protection
Wear protective gloves and clean body covering clothing.
Other Control Measures

Ethanol
When released into the soil, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. When released into the soil, this material is expected to leach into groundwater. When released into the soil, this material is expected to quickly evaporate. When released into water, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. When released into water, this material may evaporate to a moderate extent. This material is not expected to significantly bioaccumulate. When released into the air, this material is expected to be readily degraded by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. When released into the air, this material is expected to be readily removed from the atmosphere by dry and wet deposition. When released into the air, this material is expected to have a half-life between 1 and 10 days. This material is not expected to be toxic to aquatic life. The LC50/96-hour values for fish are over 100 mg/l.
