Methanol intoxication: How to help patients who have been exposed to toxic solventsMethanol, or wood alcohol, is present as a solvent in many products found in the average household. Health problems can result from inadvertent exposure, such as spilling concentrated solvents onto the skin, or ...
Side note: Because it’s so important to keep your toys clean, it’s better to steer clear of toys made with porous materials altogether, since they’re pretty much impossible to fully sanitize (not to mention they may contain toxic chemicals called phthalates). Instead, Engle suggests looking...

Methanol fuel cells are comparable to a PEMFC in regards to operating temperature but are not as efficient. Also, the DMFC requires a relatively large amount of platinum to act as a catalyst, which makes these fuel cells expensive. Reversible Fuel Cells ...
As if the people dependent on the Ohio River, and the soil the toxic chemicals from the trail derailment soaked into wasn't enough, we now see that a barge carrying 1,400 tons of the toxic substance Methanol "crashed on the Ohio River near Louisville, Kentucky, on Tuesday and is partiall...
For extraction of more lipophilic compounds, dichloromethane or a mixture of dichloromethane/methanol 1:1 are used. In some instances, extraction in hexane is used to remove chlorophyll. Important to consider in the ethnomedical approach is the need to prepare the extract as described by the ...
Some evidence suggests that one of these, methanol, is particularly bad for hangovers. The body doesn’t start metabolizing methanol until it’s done processing ethanol. And when it does, the toxic metabolites of methanol may potentially worsen the hangover symptoms. Beverages that are closer to ...
