· 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.
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 solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin:
· Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
· Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.
· DO NOT use solvents.
· Seek medical attention in the 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 - Downwind Protection Distance 8 metres IERG Number 49
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 126 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book. 6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.

No data available for naphtha petroleum, light, hydrotreated as (CAS: 64742-49-0) / (CAS: 115-10-6)
None assigned. Refer to individual constituents.
OSF=0.15 (naphtha petroleum, light, hydrotreated)
Exposed individuals are NOT reasonably expected to be warned, by smell, that the
Exposure Standard is being exceeded.
Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is determined to fall into either Class C, D or E.
The Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is defined as:
OSF= Exposure Standard (TWA) ppm/ Odour Threshold Value (OTV) ppm
Classification into classes follows:
Class OSF Description
A 550 Over 90% of exposed
individuals are aware by
smell that the Exposure
Standard (TLV-TWA for
example) is being
reached, even when
distracted by working
activities
B 26-550 As "A" for 50-90% of
persons being distracted
C 1-26 As "A" for less than 50%
of persons being
distracted
D 0.18-1 10-50% of persons aware
of being tested perceive
by smell that the
Exposure Standard is
being reached
E <0.18 As "D" for less than 10%
of persons aware of being
tested
"Worst Case" computer-aided prediction of vapour components/concentrations:
Composite Exposure Standard for Mixture (TWA) (mg/m³): 760 mg/m³
If the breathing zone concentration of ANY of the components listed below is
exceeded, "Worst Case" considerations deem the individual to be overexposed.

CEL TWA: 500 ppm, 942 mg/m³ (compare WEEL TWA)
OES TWA: 400 ppm, 766 mg/m³; STEL: 500 ppm, 958 mg/m³
MAK value: 1000 ppm, 1900 mg/m³
MAK Category IV Peak Limitation: For substances with very weak effects (ie.)
those with MAK value >500 ml/m³ (ppm): Allows excursions of twice the MAK value
for 60 minutes at a time, 3 times per shift.
MAK Group D: Classification as to the effect of the substance on the developing
embryo/foetus is not yet possible because although data may indicate a trend,
they are not sufficient for a final evaluation.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany
The no-effect-level for dimethyl ether is somewhere between 2000 ppm
(rabbits) and 50,000 ppm (humans) with possible cardiac sensitisation
occurring around 200,000 ppm (dogs). The AIHA has adopted a safety factor
of 100 in respect to the 50,000 ppm level in its recommendation for a
workplace environmental exposure level (WEEL) which is thought to protect
against both narcotic and sensitising effects. This level is consistent
with the TLV-TWA of 400 ppm for diethyl ether and should be easily
achievable using current technologies. The use of the traditionally
allowable excursion of 1.25 to the level of 6.25 ppm is felt to be more
than adequate as an upper safe limit of exposure.
Human data:
50,000 ppm (12 mins): Feelings of mild intoxication.
75,000 ppm (12 mins): As above plus slight lack of attenuation.
82,000 ppm (12 mins): Some incoordination, slight blurring of vision
(30 mins): As above plus analgesia of the face and rushing of
blood to the face.
100,000 ppm (10-20 mins): Narcotic symptoms
(64 mins) : Sickness (assumed to be nausea)
144,000 ppm (36 mins): Unconsciousness

Ingestion may result in nausea, pain, vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by
aspiration may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling epidermis. Histologically
there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and
intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
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.
WARNING:Intentional misuse by concentrating/inhaling contents may be lethal.
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures. 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. WARNING: Aerosol containers may present pressure
related hazards.
