Demystify: 

4-Methyl-1- cyclohexanemethanol of course there are multiple names for it all about the same but the CAS# is 34885-30-5 and like Manona says you really can't find much out there on it. I talked to a HazMat tech Emergency responder friend of mine who also is a certified Class III wastewater operator and he said it really depends on the levels released. It's soluble to 0.2% in water but at 10 ppm or so it is pretty innocuous by ingestion….though it might give you a good case of the….ummm….runs.

Do you know what was released? The report I saw was that it was an antifoaming agent.
