OEL Fastrac Catalog

Methyl alcohol (also known as methanol) is the primary alcohol that is the simplest aliphatic alcohol, comprising a methyl and an alcohol group. It has a role as an amphiprotic solvent, a fuel, a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a mouse metabolite, and a Mycoplasma genitalium metabolite. It is an alkyl alcohol, a one-carbon compound, a volatile organic compound, and a primary alcohol. It is a conjugate acid of a methoxide. Methanol is released into the environment during industrial uses and naturally from volcanic gases, vegetation, and microbes. Exposure may occur from ambient air and during the use of solvents. Methanol is widely used in paint, varnish removers, and as an industrial solvent. It is also used in the manufacture of formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl derivatives and inorganic acid, as an antifreeze, fuel anti-icing additive and fuel octane booster, as an extractant solvent, and as fuel for picnic stoves and soldering torches. Methanol is further used as a solvent in the manufacture of cholesterol, streptomycin, vitamins, hormones, and other pharmaceuticals.

Affygility Solutions has an occupational exposure limit (OEL) and control band assignment for this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This monograph also contains the acceptable daily exposure (ADE) value.

Why do you need this OEL Fastrac monograph?

OEL Fastrac monographs are a cost-effective and convenient way to meet the requirements for PDEs (ADEs) contained in the EMA Guideline on setting health based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities (EMA/CHMP/CVMP/SWP/169430/2012), as well as PIC/S and ANVISA requirements, and to obtain the following information:

• The numerical OEL and control band assignment needed to determine the level of required engineering controls and personal protective equipment
• A listing of all cited references utilized in the derivation of the OEL and ADE
• An expert review and discussion with respect to the critical endpoints of concern, the rationale for the choice of endpoints, and dose that is to be used in the derivation of the ADE (PDE), as required by the EMA's Guideline on setting health-based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities
