Methanol’s Toxicity: What Happens in the Human Body?
Unlike ethanol, even as little as 10ml of pure methanol can be highly toxic if ingested and 30 ml can be fatal. This alcohol is dangerous in two different ways: by its direct action on the central nervous system and after conversion to formic acid. Initially, after ingestion, inhalation or absorption through the skin, methanol has a depressant effect on the nervous system similar to ethanol poisoning, but with more permanent consequences.A few hours after the initial exposure, methanol is then converted to formic acid in the liver. This mechanism involves a two-step reaction:- Step 1: Conversion of methanol to formaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase
- Step 2: Conversion of formaldehyde to formic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase
What Are the Symptoms of Methanol Intoxication?
Initial symptoms include (direct impact on the central nervous system):- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Lack of coordination
- Confusion
- Unconsciousness and death after exposure to large amounts
- Blurred or complete loss of vision
- Dilated pupils and retinal oedema
- Acidosis
- Respiratory failure
