Most people recognize Ethanol and Methanol as flammable liquids, and many of those people fail to recognize the large difference in the TOXICITY HAZARDS between these two (2) alcohols. As I wrote about during the COVID pandemic, these differences led to 28 fatalities linked to hand sanitizer made with Methanol vs. Ethanol. Those who may be familiar with adult alcoholic beverages may remember the 200 cases of methanol poisonings at Mexican resorts, particularly in the Cancun and Riviera Maya regions. These incidents were tied to illicit, cheap alcohol that the resorts used in their adult beverages. So this post is to help us all understand the hazards/risks associated with using Methanol in our workplaces as a “cleaning agent” – DONT DO IT is my advice.
