So, this is effecting over 300K people???
And the chemical is “considered” (by authorities) to be non-toxic???
“4-methylcyclohexane methanol”, used in the cleansing (preparation) of coal...
What a mess to clean up...
OSHA classifies it as non-toxic. The MSDS sheet is at the link on the right in PDF format. It’s an alcohol. The only hazard is it is flammable. Drinking it won’t kill you any more than trying to drink Everclear.
