What possible carcinogen must we avoid breathing or touching in this experiment

Question

What possible carcinogen must we avoid breathing or touching in this experiment by working in the hood, removing our gloves if we spill any on them, and not walking around with open containers?

P.S.  Most organic solvents like gasoline, paint thinners, and finger nail polish removers can cause cell damage and thus we must avoid exposure to them.

Sublimation is:

The opposite of sublimation is called?

Which compound is our goal to extract in this experiment?

Explanation / Answer

Methanol

The initial symptoms of methanol poisoning (drinking one to four

ounces) may be delayed for as long as 12 to 18 hours as the body

metabolizes methanol to formate, and can consist of weakness,

dizziness, headache, nausea vomiting and blurred vision.

In severe cases

of accidental or reckless ingestion, methanol poisoning may lead to

permanent blindness or death, although complete recovery is the rule in

patients admitted early to a hospital.

There are several treatments

available to combat methanol poisoning, including early treatment with

sodium bicarbonate to help prevent visual impairment.

In a hospital

setting, hemodialysis is effective in removing both methanol and formate

from the blood, and co-exposure to ethanol has been shown to reduce

formate levels.

In case of skin exposure to methanol, washing

immediately with soap and plenty of water can prevent further skin

absorption.
