Methanol is considered hazardous because it can cause irritation and blindness. If you drink to much methanol you can go blind. I am not sure how much quanitiy wise it is. I deal with 100% methanol and get it on my skin. It evaporates extremely fast and makes my hands feel cold. Even with gloves on the cold effect still happens. Read your MSDS in your labaratory for more information on Methanol and the concentration of methanol that you possess.

In case you didn't know methanol's formula is 1 carbon and 4 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. If you add a carbon and a few hydrogens you get ethanol. Ethanol's formula is 2 carbons and 6 hydrogens and 1 oxygen. Ethanol is the alcohol is your drinking alcohol. Back in the 19th century and before this time people would try to distill ethanol but they mistakenly made methanol. They would drink drink the methanol in error and become blind because of this. This process of making homemade alcohol (moonshine) of course is illegal and still is.
