by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid
immediately.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from
exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If
breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen
and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
METHANOL
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower

persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of
milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Induce
vomiting by giving one teaspoon of Syrup of Ipecac.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from
exposure to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If
breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen
and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: Effects may be delayed. Ethanol may
inhibit methanol metabolism.
TOLUENE
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical
aid immediately.

by mouth to an unconscious person. Possible aspiration
hazard. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from
exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Causes cardiac sensitization to
endogenous catelcholamines which may lead to cardiac
arrhythmias. Do NOT use adrenergic agents such as
epinephrine or pseudoepinephrine.
BENZENE
A. Eye and face exposure. If benzene is splashed in
your eyes, wash it out immediately with large
amounts of water. If irritation persists or vision
appears to be affected see a doctor as soon as
possible.
B. Skin exposure. If benzene is spilled on your
clothing or skin, remove the contaminated
clothing and wash the exposed skin with large
amounts of water and soap immediately. Wash
contaminated clothing before you wear it again.
C. Breathing. If you or any other person breathes
in large amounts of benzene, get the exposed
person to fresh air at once. Apply artificial
respiration if breathing has stopped. Call for
medical assistance or a doctor as soon as possible.
Never enter any vessel or confined space where
the benzene concentration might be high without
proper safety equipment and at least one other
person present who will stay outside. A life line
should be used.
D. Swallowing. If benzene has been swallowed and
the patient is conscious, do not induce vomiting.
Call for medical assistance or a doctor
immediately
