	eMedicine - Toxicity, Alcohols : Article Excerpt by: Ann G Egland, MD
		Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is an aliphatic alcohol present in aftershaves, colognes, perfumes, mouthwashes, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, and a myriad of alcoholic beverages.
		When metabolized by hepatic alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase, methanol forms formaldehyde and formic acid, both of which are toxic.
		Methanol is primarily metabolized by alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase.

	Isopropyl Alcohol
		Isopropyl alcohol is incompatible with strong oxidizers, acetaldehyde, chlorine, ethylene oxide, acids, and isocyanates.
		Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to isopropyl alcohol, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
		Isopropyl alcohol should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers that are labeled in accordance with OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard [29 CFR 1910.1200].

	What is rubbing alcohol? - The Boston Globe
		There are many chemicals known collectively as alcohols, and they are all characterized by some big molecular structure made of carbon and hydrogen atoms, with an oxygen-hydrogen atom pair stuck on somewhere.
		Rubbing alcohol is usually mostly made of isopropyl alcohol, also called isopropanol, and the ''big molecular structure" this time is made of 3 carbon atoms arranged like the letter ''V" plus 7 hydrogen atoms.
		Isopropyl alcohol is also readily turned into acetone, which you probably know as nail polish remover.

	Isopropyl Alcohol - Blue Poppy Press
		Therefore, because isopropyl alcohol is easily available, cost-effective, and its repackaging and sale do not require Federal and/or State licensing and also because it is used in a number of other commonly sold products meant for external application, we have chosen isopropyl alcohol as the medium for our liniments and tinctures.
		Isopropyl alcohol is manufactured and sold for application to human skin for the express purposes of disinfection and as a rubifacient.
		Because isopropyl alcohol may cause skin irritation in some persons, it should only be applied to a small area at first in order to test the patient's personal reaction.

	Isopropyl Alcohol in Soft Drinks - SourceWatch
		Isopropyl alcohol (also known as Pseudo propyl alcohol; 2-propanol; dimethyl carbinol; isopropanol; sec-propyl alcohol; persprit; secondary propyl alcohol; IPA; propan-2-ol; alcohol isopropylicus; and petrohol) is a clear, colorless, toxic, volatile, flammable liquid.

	Rubbing alcohol Summary
		When rubbing alcohol is ingested either pure or added to beverages, the result is toxic—with symptoms lasting longer than those seen after drinking ethanol (alcoholic beverages), because isopropyl alcohol is slowly metabolized to acetone, another toxic substance.
		It is unsuited as a fuel in alcohol stoves because of the relatively low vapor pressure of isopropyl alcohol.
		Isopropyl alcohol is oxidized by the liver into acetone.

	Titrating Oil - Collaborative Biodiesel Tutorial
		The way this particular titration is written, every 1 ml titration result (ie the acid number) will tell us to add an extra 1 gram of lye for each liter of oil/ffa you're using to make biodiesel to compensate for the side reaction caused by the FFA.
		A blank titration neutralises any acids that the isopropyl contained, so you're starting with a 'blank' slate and your real titation only reads the free fatty acids instead of the acids in the isopropyl.
		If the isopropyl only needed 5 or 10 drops of lye/water solution to neutralize the acids, don't worry abut repeating this test for the next few titrations- it's not very acidic.

	UpToDate Isopropyl alcohol intoxication
		— Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol, 2-propanol, propan-2-ol) is commonly used as a disinfectant, antifreeze, and solvent, and typically comprises 70 percent of "rubbing alcohol." People ingest isopropyl alcohol to become intoxicated (ie, ethanol substitute) or to harm themselves.
		Fatality from isolated isopropyl alcohol toxicity is rare, but can result from injury due to inebriant effects, such as untreated coma with airway compromise, or rarely, cardiovascular depression and shock following massive ingestion.
		— Isopropyl alcohol is a sedative-hypnotic agent whose toxicity closely resembles that of ethanol, with which it shares strong structural similarity.

		This means that 400 grams of the solution would be the alcohol component and the remainder, 600 grams, would be pure water.
		First, calculate the moles of alcohol present: Using a chemical handbook or atomic masses from the Periodic Table, the molar mass of isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) is 60 g/mol.
		As outlined above, use the formula mass of the alcohol -- in the case of isopropyl alcohol it is 60 g/mol -- to calculate the number of moles present in the mass of alcohol used.
