For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
· If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
· If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
· Observe the patient carefully.
· Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconsciousness
· Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
· Seek medical advice.
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
· Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
· Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
· Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
· Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
· Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
If skin contact occurs:
· Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
· Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
· Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
· If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
· Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
· Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
· Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
· Transport to hospital, or doctor.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related hydrocarbons: · Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure. · Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm Hg) should be intubated. · Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves clearance. · A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax. · Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred agents, with aminophylline a second choice. · Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of cuffed endotracheal tube in adult patients.

From IERG (Canada/Australia) Isolation Distance 25 metres Downwind Protection Distance 300 metres IERG Number 14
FOOTNOTES 1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk of harmful exposure. This zone assumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on either side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equal to the downwind protective action distance. 2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spill and working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level of vapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated and unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects. 3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a high probability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to life-threatening concentrations of the material. 4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican or box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from a small cylinder are also considered "small spills". LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of greater than 200 litres, such as a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder. 5 Guide 128 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book. 6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.

Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into
consideration reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for
other toxic effects. Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been
suggested as an additional standard. These have been established after a
literature search for reproductive no-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL) and
the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's
procedures for risk assessment for hazard identification and dose-response
assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation of such limits.

TLV TWA: 300 ppm, A3
Naphthas of this type produce central nervous system depression and are mild
irritants of the eyes and upper respiratory tract. The carcinogenic potential of
middle petroleum distillates is recognised and is related to the content of
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs). The TLV is thought to be protective against the acute effects of upper
respiratory tract and eye irritation and chronic systemic effects.

when MAK and BAT values are observed.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany.
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
Odour Threshold Value: 65 ppm
IDLH Level: 1100 ppm (lower explosive limit)
NOTE: Detector tubes for n-hexane, measuring in excess of 100 ppm, are
available commercially.
Occupational polyneuropathy may result from exposures as low as 500 ppm
(as hexane), whilst nearly continuous exposures of 250 ppm have caused
neurotoxic effects in animals. Many literature reports have failed to
distinguish hexane from n-hexane and on the assumption that the
commercial hexane contains 30% n-hexane, a worst case recommendation for
TLV is assumed to reduce the risk of peripheral neuropathies (due to the
metabolites 2,5-heptanedione and 3,6-octanedione) and other adverse
neuropathic effects.
Concurrent exposure to chemicals (including MEK) and drugs which induce
hepatic liver oxidative metabolism can reduce the time for neuropathy
to appear.

Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
High concentrations of toluene in the air produce depression of the
central nervous system (CNS) in humans. Intentional toluene exposure
(glue-sniffing) at maternally-intoxicating concentration has also produced
birth defects. Foetotoxicity appears at levels associated with CNS
narcosis and probably occurs only in those with chronic toluene-induced
kidney failure. Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought
to prevent transient headache and irritation, to provide a measure of
safety for possible disturbances to human reproduction, the prevention of
reductions in cognitive responses reported amongst humans inhaling
greater than 40 ppm, and the significant risks of hepatotoxic, behavioural
and nervous system effects (including impaired reaction time and
incoordination). Although toluene/ethanol interactions are well
recognised, the degree of protection afforded by the TLV-TWA among
drinkers is not known.

Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Ingestion may result in nausea, pain, vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by
aspiration may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
Bare unprotected skin should not be exposed to this material.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Acute effects from inhalation of high concentrations of vapour are pulmonary
irritation, including coughing, with nausea; central nervous system depression -
characterised by headache and dizziness, increased reaction time, fatigue and
loss of co-ordination.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures. Chronic inhalation or skin exposure to n-hexane
may cause peripheral neuropathy, which is damage to nerve ends in extremities, e.g.
fingers, with loss of sensation and characteristic thickening. Nerve damage has been
documented with chronic exposures of greater than 500 ppm. Improvement in condition does
not immediately follow removal from exposure and symptoms may progress for two or three
months. Recovery may take a year or more depending on severity of exposure, and may not
always be complete. Exposure to n-hexane with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) will accelerate
the appearance of damage, but MEK alone will not cause the nerve damage. Other isomers of
hexane do not cause nerve damage. [Source: Shell Co.]. Chronic solvent inhalation
exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS].
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis following.

This is expected to evaporate and enter the atmosphere where it will be degraded through reaction with hydroxy radicals. Some of the material will become associated with benthic sediments, and it is likely to be spread over a fairly wide area of sea floor. Marine sediments may be either aerobic or anaerobic. The material, in probability, is biodegradable, under aerobic conditions (isomerised olefins and alkenes show variable results). Evidence also suggests that the hydrocarbons may be degradable under anaerobic conditions although such degradation in benthic sediments may be a relatively slow process. Under aerobic conditions the material will degrade to water and carbon dioxide, while under anaerobic processes it will produce water, methane and carbon dioxide. Based on test results, as well as theoretical considerations, the potential for bioaccumulation may be high. Toxic effects are often observed in species such as blue mussel, daphnia, freshwater green algae, marine copepods and amphipods. TOLUENE: Hazardous Air Pollutant: Yes Fish LC50 (96hr.)
