Re: Methanol in TDX
Eh, everybody is fussing over something that's poorly described. We've been over this time and time again.
Methanol, aka methyl alcohol, in its pure form does pose some health hazzards. However, when mixed with water, the alcohol vapors do not dissipate anywhere near as fast, making it relatively safer (not 100% safe).
Windshield wiper fluid is a mix of water and methanol, in ratios as high at 1:2. Still relatively safe (not 100% safe).
However, it should be noted that as per OSHA standards (the US organization that sets rules for safe working environments), it is prohibited to use methanol indoors. No data for windshield wiper fluid exists, that I know.
If anyone wants to contribute something, please indicate your source of info for: tolerable levels of methanol vapors (if any). Obviously those of us that drive/ride in cars do breathe the stuff, so there's got to be something, somewhere.
