Is isopropyl alcohol toxic to humans?

1. External Use (Safe)

Skin disinfection (e.g., abrasions, before injections): Safe for short-term use at a 70% concentration.

Hand sanitizer ingredients: Safe for normal use.

Cleaning object surfaces: Safe to use in a well-ventilated area.

2. Internal Ingestion / Improper Use (Dangerous)

Ingestion: Toxic: Can cause poisoning, leading to dizziness, vomiting, coma, and even death.

Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor: Large amounts used in confined spaces may cause dizziness and headaches.

Extensive or prolonged contact with the skin can irritate it, causing it to become dry and cracked. Extensive wiping (such as with an alcohol rub to cool the skin) may result in the absorption of alcohol by the skin, leading to poisoning.

Protective Measures:

1. When using isopropyl alcohol, wear protective gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing to avoid contact with skin and eyes.

2. When using isopropyl alcohol in a confined space, ensure good ventilation to avoid inhaling excessive vapors.

3. Avoid contact with ignition sources, high-temperature substances, or oxidizers, as isopropyl alcohol is flammable.

4. In case of a leak, immediately stop the leak and clean it up with an appropriate absorbent.

5. Store isopropyl alcohol properly and avoid mixing it with other chemicals.
