| About the compound: | Methoxyacetic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is acetic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens is replaced by a methoxy group. It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite, an apoptosis inducer, a mutagen and an antineoplastic agent. It is a monocarboxylic acid and an ether. It is functionally related to an acetic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a methoxyacetate. GHS Hazard Statements • H302: Harmful if swallowed [Warning Acute toxicity, oral] • H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage [Danger Skin corrosion/irritation] • H360FD: May damage fertility; May damage the unborn child [Danger Reproductive toxicity] First Aid 1. Eyes: • Check for and remove any contact lenses. • Flush the eyes with water or saline for 20-30 minutes while contacting a hospital or poison control center. • Avoid using ointments, oils, or medications unless directed by a physician. • Transport the victim to a hospital immediately after flushing, even if there are no symptoms like redness or irritation. 2. Skin: • Immediately rinse affected skin with water while removing all contaminated clothing. • Wash the affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. • Contact a hospital or poison control center promptly, regardless of symptom presence. • Transport the victim to a hospital for treatment immediately after washing. 3. Inhalation: • Exit the contaminated area immediately and breathe fresh air. • If symptoms like wheezing, coughing, or burning sensations occur, contact a physician and be ready to transport the victim to a hospital. • Rescuers should use proper respiratory protection, such as a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), when entering an uncertain environment. 4. Ingestion: • Do not induce vomiting due to the risk of further damage and aspiration. • If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give them water to dilute the chemical and immediately seek medical assistance. • If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, ensure their airway is open, position them on their side with the head lower than the body, and transport them to a hospital immediately (NTP, 1992).
