Risks Of Using Ethanol

Ethanol is a highly flammable and harmful substance. If ingested, it may be fatal and may be absorbed through the skin. The vapours can irritate the eyes. Ethanol may cause eye damage, nausea, dizziness, headache and central nervous system depression.

What To Do If Accidents Happen With Ethanol

If ethanol comes in contact with skin, flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. You should also remove contaminated clothing and shoes, and wash before reusing. If the substance is inhaled, move to fresh air and give respiratory aid if needed. For ingestion, give large amounts of water and call a physician.

Preventing Accidents When Using Ethanol

You should always shut off ignition sources when using ethanol. Always wear eye protection, a lab coat and gloves.

What type of alcohol is beverage alcohol?

Ethyl alcohol is the only kind of alcohol that is not poisonous to humans. Everything is toxic in the appropriate dose and comparatively small doses of ethyl alcohol are toxic (and fatal) to humans and all other animals. Ethyl alcohol is also classified by the World Health Organisation as a 'known human carcinogen' - but only in alcoholic drinks! I suspect this is more to do with social engineering than medical science. Drinkers need to be denormalised in the same way as smokers have been - 'addicts', 'think of the children', 'passive drinking' and all that BS.
