Blurred vision leading to nervous blindness is the only symptom of chronic methanol intoxication that occurs following prolonged drinking some kinds of herbal distillates and has been motivated serious anxieties. The methanol content of these products is not usually measured which may be due to the lack of applicable standards in this regard. In this study, the methanol concentrations of some kinds of herbal distillates were quantified by two different methods to define the most effective factors in the determination of methanol permitted dose of these products. In this study, the methanol contents of 60 different samples were examined by a newly designed kit and Gas Chromatography methods, and finally, based on gained results some recommendations were presented about how standardization of herbal distillates’ methanol content. All samples have different concentrations of methanol that in some cases, their methanol content seems enough for the creation of chronic methanol intoxication. Also, access to an appropriate and efficient national standard for controlling of methanol content of herbal distillates seems to be necessary. |
