Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SWALLOWED

· 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 unconscious.
· Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
· Seek medical advice.

EYE

If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
· Wash out immediately with fresh 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.
· If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
· Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

SKIN

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.

INHALED

· If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
· Other measures are usually unnecessary.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN

for simple esters:
--------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC TREATMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
· Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.
· Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary.
· Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.
· Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema .
· Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.
· DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to 200 ml water (5 
ml/kg recommended) for dilution where patient is able to swallow, has a strong gag reflex and does 
not drool.
· Give activated charcoal.
--------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED TREATMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
· Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in unconscious patient or 
where respiratory arrest has occurred.
· Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use.
· Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias.
· Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers solution. Fluid 
overload might create complications.
· Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema.
· Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids. Fluid 
overload might create complications.
· Treat seizures with diazepam.
· Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
· Laboratory analysis of complete blood count, serum electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, glucose, 
urinalysis, baseline for serum aminotransferases (ALT and AST), calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, 
may assist in establishing a treatment regime. Other useful analyses include anion and osmolar 
gaps, arterial blood gases (ABGs), chest radiographs and electrocardiograph.
· Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-assisted ventilation may be required for acute 
parenchymal injury or adult respiratory distress syndrome.
· Consult a toxicologist as necessary.

INGREDIENT DATA

ETHYL ACETATE:
   
   Odour Threshold Value: 6.4-50 ppm (detection), 13.3-75 ppm (recognition)
   The TLV-TWA provides a significant margin of safety from the standpoint of
   adverse health effects. Unacclimated subjects found the odour
   objectionably strong at 200 ppm. Mild nose, eye and throat irritation was
   experienced at 400 ppm. Workers exposed regularly at concentrations
   ranging from 375 ppm to 1500 ppm for several months showed no unusual
   signs or symptoms.

ACETONE:
   Odour Threshold Value: 3.6 ppm (detection), 699 ppm (recognition)
   Saturation vapour concentration: 237000 ppm @ 20 C
   NOTE: Detector tubes measuring in excess of 40 ppm, are available.
   Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to protect the worker against 
mild irritation associated with brief exposures and the bioaccumulation, chronic 
irritation of the respiratory tract and headaches associated with long-term acetone 
exposures. The NIOSH REL-TWA is substantially lower and has taken into account slight 
irritation experienced by volunteer subjects at 300 ppm. Mild irritation to acclimatised 
workers begins at about 750 ppm - unacclimatised subjects will experience irritation at 
about 350-500 ppm but acclimatisation can occur rapidly. Disagreement between the peak 
bodies is based largely on the view by ACGIH that widespread use of acetone, without 
evidence of significant adverse health effects at higher concentrations, allows 
acceptance of a higher limit.
   Half-life of acetone in blood is 3 hours which means that no adjustment for shift-
length has to be made with reference to the standard 8 hour/day, 40 hours per week 
because body clearance occurs within any shift with low potential for accumulation.
   A STEL has been established to prevent excursions of acetone vapours that could cause 
depression of the central nervous system.

   OSF=38 (ACETONE).

PERSONAL PROTECTION

EYE

· Safety glasses with side shields.
· Chemical goggles.
· Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and 
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or 
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a 
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account 
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal 
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, 
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens 
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be 
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC 
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].

HANDS/FEET

Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
· frequency and duration of contact,
· chemical resistance of glove material,
· glove thickness and
· dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
· Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
· Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.

OTHER

· Overalls.
· PVC Apron.
· PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
· Eyewash unit.
· Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
· Some plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g. gloves, aprons, overshoes) are 
not recommended as they may produce static electricity.

RESPIRATOR

Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing 
zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined 
as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis;
serious consequences may result. (ICSC13733).

EYE

This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
The liquid produces a high level of eye discomfort and is capable of causing pain and severe 
conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possible permanent impairment of vision, if not 
promptly and adequately treated.

SKIN

Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal handling and use.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce 
systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure 
that any external damage is suitably protected.

INHALED

Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by sleepiness, 
reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of co-ordination, and vertigo.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritation and possible 
dermatitis following.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or 
dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by observing good 
occupational work practice.

The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin. for acetone: The acute toxicity of acetone is low. Acetone is not a skin irritant or sensitiser but is a defatting agent to the skin. Acetone is an eye irritant. The subchronic toxicity of acetone has been examined in mice and rats that were administered acetone in the drinking water and again in rats treated by oral gavage. Acetone- induced increases in relative kidney weight changes were observed in male and female rats used in the oral 13-week study. Acetone treatment caused increases in the relative liver weight in male and female rats that were not associated with histopathologic effects and the effects may have been associated with microsomal enzyme induction. Haematologic effects consistent with macrocytic anaemia were also noted in male rats along with hyperpigmentation in the spleen. The most notable findings in the mice were increased liver and decreased spleen weights. Overall, the no-observed-effect-levels in the drinking water study were 1% for male rats (900 mg/kg/d) and male mice (2258 mg/kg/d), 2% for female mice (5945 mg/kg/d), and 5% for female rats (3100 mg/kg/d). For developmental effects, a statistically significant reduction in foetal weight, and a slight, but statistically significant increase in the percent incidence of later resorptions were seen in mice at 15,665 mg/m3 and in rats at 26,100 mg/m3. The no-observable-effect level for developmental toxicity was determined to be 5220 mg/m3 for both rats and mice. Teratogenic effects were not observed in rats and mice tested at 26,110 and 15,665 mg/m3, respectively. Lifetime dermal carcinogenicity studies in mice treated with up to 0.2 mL of acetone did not reveal any increase in organ tumor incidence relative to untreated control animals. The scientific literature contains many different studies that have measured either the neurobehavioural performance or neurophysiological response of humans exposed to acetone. Effect levels ranging from about 600 to greater than 2375 mg/m3 have been reported. Neurobehavioral studies with acetone-exposed employees have recently shown that 8-hr exposures in excess of 2375 mg/m3 were not associated with any dose-related changes in response time, vigilance, or digit span scores. Clinical case studies, controlled human volunteer studies, animal research, and occupational field evaluations all indicate that the NOAEL for this effect is 2375 mg/m3 or greater.

Ketones are generally not degraded by hydrolysis. Based on its reactions in air, it seems 
likely that they undergo photolysis in water. It is probable that ketones will be 
biodegraded to an appreciable degree by micro-organisms in soil and water.
They are unlikely to bioconcentrate or biomagnify.

Environmental fate:
Acetone preferentially locates in the air compartment when released to the environment. A 
substantial amount of acetone can also be found in water, which is consistent with the 
high water to air partition coefficient and its small, but detectable, presence in rain 
water, sea water, and lake water samples. Very little acetone is expected to reside in 
soil, biota, or suspended solids. This is entirely consistent with the physical and 
chemical properties of acetone and with measurements showing a low propensity for soil 
absorption and a high preference for moving through the soil and into the ground water
In air, acetone is lost by photolysis and reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl 
radicals; the estimated half-life of these combined processes is about 22 days. The 
relatively long half-life allows acetone to be transported long distances from its 
emission source.
Acetone is highly soluble and slightly persistent in water, with a half-life of about 20 
hours; it is minimally toxic to aquatic life.
Acetone released to soil volatilises although some may leach into the ground where it 
rapidly biodegrades.
Acetone does not concentrate in the food chain.
Acetone meets the OECD definition of readily biodegradable which requires that the 
biological oxygen demand (BOD) is at least 70% of the theoretical oxygen demand (THOD) 
within the 28-day test period

Ecotoxicity:
Testing shows that acetone exhibits a low order of toxicity
Fish LC50: brook trout 6070 mg/l; fathead minnow 15000 mg/l
Bird LC0 (5 day): Japanese quail, ring-neck pheasant 40,000 mg/l
Daphnia magna LC50 (48 h):  15800 mg/l; NOEC 8500 mg/l
Aquatic invertebrate 2100 - 16700 mg/l
Aquatic plant NOEC: 5400-7500 mg/l
Daphnia magna chronic NOEC 1660 mg/l
Acetone vapors were shown to be relatively toxic to two types insects and their eggs. The 
time to 50% lethality (LT50) was found to be 51.2 hr and 67.9 hr when the flour beetle 
(Tribolium confusum) and the flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella) were exposed to an airborne 
acetone concentration of 61.5 mg/m3. The LT50 values for the eggs were 30-50% lower than 
for the adult. The direct application of acetone liquid to the body of the insects or 
surface of the eggs did not, however, cause any mortality.
The ability of acetone to inhibit cell multiplication has been examined in a wide variety 
of microorganisms. The results have generally indicated mild to minimal toxicity with 
NOECs greater than 1700 mg/L for exposures lasting from 6 hr to 4 days. Longer exposure 
periods of 7 to 8 days with bacteria produced mixed results; but overall the data 
indicate a low degree of toxicity for acetone. The only exception to these findings were 
the results obtained with the flagellated protozoa (Entosiphon sulcatum) which yielded a 
3-day NOEC of 28 mg/L.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
