SECTION III - HEALTH INFORMATION

For Pure Ethyl Alcohol
INHALATION:
Exposure to over 1000 ppm may cause headache, drowsioess and
lassitude, loss of appetite, inability to concentrate and irritation of the
throat. No evidence of teratogenicity (birth defects) was noted following
inhalation exposure by pregnant rats of airbor.ne vapor concentrations of up
to 16,000 ppm for 1 hours on days 1 through 19 of gestation. In the same
study, pr9nant rats exposed to 20,000 ppm showed severe narcosis; offspring
of these rats did not show clear evidence of increased incidence of
abnormali.tles.

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: (~te - Individuals should perform only those firefighting procedures for wi:ich they have been trained.) Use dry chemical;
"alcohol" foam, or carbon dioxide; water may be ineffective, but water should
be used to keep fire-expcsed containers cool. If a leak or spill has not
ignited, use ..
ater spray 'todisperse the vapors and to protect personnel
attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from
exposures and to dilute s:ills to nonflammable mixtures (NPPA-49 1975).
