Appearance: colorless liquid. Flash Point: 11.7 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and
vapor. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Breathing
vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Causes eye irritation.
Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage.
Prolonged or repeated contact causes defatting of the skin with
irritation, dryness, and cracking. This material has been reported
to be susceptible to autoxidation and therefore should be classified
as peroxidizable. May cause central nervous system depression. May
form explosive peroxides. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the
air).
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Produces irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness,
tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal injury. May cause
transient corneal injury.
In the eyes of a rabbit, 0.1 ml of 70% isopropyl alcohol caused
conjunctivitis, iritis, and corneal opacity.
Skin:
May cause irritation with pain and stinging, especially if the skin
is abraded. Isopropanol has a low potential to cause allergic skin
reactions; however, rare cases of allergic contact dermatitis have
been reported. May be absorbed through intact skin.
Dermal absorption has been considered toxicologically insignificant.
The cases of deep coma associated with skin contact are thought to
be a consequence of gross isopropanol vapor inhalation in rooms with
inadequate ventilation, rather than being attributable to
percutaneous absorption of isopropanol per se.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause kidney damage. May cause central nervous system
depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to
respiratory failure. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause
chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
The probable oral lethal dose in humans is 240 ml (2696 mg/kg), but
ingestion of only 20 ml (224 mg/kg) has caused poisoning.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause narcotic effects in high concentration. Causes
upper respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause
drowsiness and dizziness.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis.
