Preventing methanol exposure involves several strategies: - Workplace Safety: Ensuring proper ventilation, using personal protective equipment (PPE), and following safety protocols in industries where methanol is used. - Labeling and Storage: Properly labeling methanol-containing products and storing them out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion. - Public Awareness: Educating the public about the dangers of methanol and the importance of not consuming alcohol-containing products that are not intended for human consumption.
