Thanks BarbW: You are correct for sending the warning. So often we are

desperate to decontaminate we compromise our health, perhaps not immediately

but long term with chronic exposure.

Here are a few more links and warnings:

http://www.inchem.org/documents/pims/chemical/pim290.htm#SectionTitle:2.1%20%20M\

ain%20risks%20and%20target%20organs

" Safe disposal - dispose in a designated landfill site, or

burn in an approved solvent burner. If small amounts are

disposed of into a sink or sewer, rinse with copious amounts

of water to prevent accumulation of flammable vapours. "

" TOXICOLOGY 7.1 Mode of action

Isopropyl alcohol is an irritant to mucous membranes and

eyes.

Isopropyl alcohol is a potent central nervous system (CNS)

depressant, and in large doses causes cardiovascular

depression. Acetone, its main metabolite, can potentiate and

lengthen the duration of the CNS symptoms. Mild acidosis may

develop from the conversion of acetone to acetic acid and

formic acid. The alcohol dehydrogenase-induced shift in

NAD/NADH may cause decreased gluconeogenesis and

hypoglycaemia (, 1962).

Inebriation, peripheral vasodilation and hypothermia may also

occur. "

"

7.2.5 Acceptable daily intake (ADI)

400 ppm (TWA OSHA).

Other guideline levels:

Respiratory Protection Guidelines (NIOSH):

up to 1,000 ppm: Use a powered air purifying

respirator with organic vapour cartridge, or full

facepiece chemical cartridge.

up to 10,000 ppm: (CCROVF) respirator with organic

vapour cartridge; use a supplied air respirator

operating in continuous flow mode (GMOVc). "
