· 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:
· 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.
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.
Treat symptomatically. For sub-chronic and chronic exposures to isocyanates: · This material may be a potent pulmonary sensitiser which causes bronchospasm even in patients without prior airway hyperreactivity. · Clinical symptoms of exposure involve mucosal irritation of respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. · Conjunctival irritation, skin inflammation (erythema, pain vesiculation) and gastrointestinal disturbances occur soon after exposure. · Pulmonary symptoms include cough, burning, substernal pain and dyspnoea. · Some cross-sensitivity occurs between different isocyanates. · Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and bronchospasm are the most serious consequences of exposure. Markedly symptomatic patients should receive oxygen, ventilatory support and an intravenous line. · Treatment for asthma includes inhaled sympathomimetics (epinephrine [adrenalin], terbutaline) and steroids. · Activated charcoal (1 g/kg) and a cathartic (sorbitol, magnesium citrate) may be useful for ingestion. · Mydriatics, systemic analgesics and topical antibiotics (Sulamyd) may be used for corneal abrasions. · There is no effective therapy for sensitised workers. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux; Medical Toxicology] NOTE: Isocyanates cause airway restriction in naive individuals with the degree of response dependant on the concentration and duration of exposure. They induce smooth muscle contraction which leads to bronchoconstrictive episodes. Acute changes in lung function, such as decreased FEV1, may not represent sensitivity. [Karol & Jin, Frontiers in Molecular Toxicology, pp 56-61, 1992].

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.

XYLENE: TLV TWA: 100 ppm A4;BEI [ACGIH] TLV STEL: 150 ppm A4;BEI [ACGIH] PEL TWA: 100 ppm, 435 mg/m³ [OSHA Z1] TLV TWA: 100 ppm, 434 mg/m³; STEL: 150 ppm, 651 mg/m³ A4 NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as causing Cancer in humans. ES TWA: 80 ppm, 350 mg/m³; STEL: 150 ppm, 655 mg/m³ (Under review) OES TWA: 100 ppm, 441 mg/m³; STEL: 150 ppm, 662 mg/m³ skin 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. IDLH Level: 900 ppm Odour Threshold Value: 20 ppm (detection), 40 ppm (recognition) NOTE: Detector tubes for o-xylene, measuring in excess of 10 ppm, are available commercially. (m-xylene and p-xylene give almost the same response) Xylene vapour is an irritant to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin and causes narcosis at high concentrations. Exposure to doses sufficiently high to produce intoxication and unconsciousness also produces transient liver and kidney toxicity. Neurologic impairment is NOT evident amongst volunteers inhaling up to 400 ppm though complaints of ocular and upper respiratory tract irritation occur at 200 ppm for 3 to 5 minutes. Exposure to xylene at or below the recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is thought to minimise the risk of irritant effects and to produce neither significant narcosis or chronic injury. An earlier skin notation was deleted because percutaneous absorption is gradual and protracted and does not substantially contribute to the dose received by inhalation.

This should emphasise: · demography, occupational and medical history and health advice · completion of a standardised respiratory questionnaire · physical examination of the respiratory system and skin · standardised respiratory function tests such as FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC. diphenyl methane diisocyanate as methylene bisphenyl isocyanate MDI TLV TWA: 0.005 ppm; 0.051 mg/m³ as -NCO [ACGIH] MAK value: 0.05 mg/m³ Designated S in List of MAK values: Danger of sensitization. MAK Category I Peak Limitation: For local irritants Allows excursions of twice the MAK value for 5 minutes at a time, 8 times per shift. MAK IIIB: Substances suspected of having carcinogenic potential. MAK Group IIc: Substances with MAK Values but no pregnancy risk group classification. These are substances which have been investigated but for which no information regarding possible damage to the foetus/embryo was found. Mention calls attention to the absence of adequate data. MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the Federal Republic of Germany. REL TWA: 0.005 ppm, REL C 0.02 ppm/10 min [NIOSH 1985] Odour Threshold Value: 0.39 ppm IDLH Level: 75 mg/m³ Mean MDI exposures of less than 0.003 ppm appear to have no acute or chronic effect on pulmonary function. MDI produces identical toxicological responses to those produced by TDI and the recommended TLV-TWA is identical for the two isocyanates. Exposure at or below the recommended value is thought to protect the worker against pulmonary function decrements as well as to minimise the potential for respiratory tract sensitisation. Individuals who may be hypersusceptible or otherwise unusually responsive to exposure to certain industrial chemicals may not adequately protected from adverse health effects caused by MDI at the recommended TLV-TWA. Ceiling values recommended by NIOSH and OSHA are synonymous with normal excursions allowable for exposures to the TLV-TWA (in excess of 3 x TLV-TWA for no more than a total of 30 minutes during a work day but in any case not exceeding 5 x TLV-TWA).

Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure adequate protection. An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some situations. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant. Type of Contaminant: Air Speed: solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.) evaporating from tank (in still air). aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.) operations, intermittent container filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of active generation) direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.) booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air motion) grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.) high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion). Within each range the appropriate value depends on: Lower end of the range Upper end of the range 1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents favourable to capture 2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity nuisance value only. 3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use 4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only motion Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Product is considered stable and hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC
Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort
characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures. Practical evidence shows that inhalation of the
material is capable of inducing a sensitisation reaction in a substantial number of
individuals at a greater frequency than would be expected from the response of a normal
population. Pulmonary sensitisation, resulting in hyperactive airway dysfunction and
pulmonary allergy may be accompanied by fatigue, malaise and aching. Significant symptoms
of exposure may persist for extended periods, even after exposure ceases. Symptoms can be
activated by a variety of nonspecific environmental stimuli such as automobile exhaust,
perfumes and passive smoking. Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous
system impairment and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS]. Respiratory sensitisation may
result in allergic/asthma like responses; from coughing and minor breathing difficulties
to bronchitis with wheezing, gasping. Sensitisation may give severe responses to very low
levels of exposure, in situations where exposure may occur. 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.
