Not considered a normal route of entry.
· 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.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
If aerosols come in contact with the eyes:
· Immediately hold the eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously for at least
15 minutes 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.
· 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 aerosols, fumes or combustion products are inhaled:
· Remove to fresh air.
· 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.
· If breathing is shallow or has stopped, ensure clear airway and apply
resuscitation, 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.
Following acute or short term repeated exposures to toluene:
· Toluene is absorbed across the alveolar barrier, the blood/air mixture being
11.2/15.6 (at 37 degrees C.) The concentration of toluene, in expired breath, is
of the order of 18 ppm following sustained exposure to 100 ppm. The tissue/blood
proportion is 1/3 except in adipose where the proportion is 8/10.
· Metabolism by microsomal mono-oxygenation, results in the production of
hippuric acid. This may be detected in the urine in amounts between 0.5 and 2.5
g/24 hr which represents, on average 0.8 gm/gm of creatinine. The biological
half-life of hippuric acid is in the order of 1-2 hours.
· Primary threat to life from ingestion and/or inhalation is respiratory
failure.
· Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (eg
cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen.
Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 <50 mm
Hg or pCO2 > 50 mm Hg) should be intubated.
· Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and
electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial damage 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 (adrenaline) 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.

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.
The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all
individuals could be exposed for up to one hour WITHOUT experiencing or developing
life-threatening health effects is:
toluene 1000 ppm
xylene 900 ppm
hydrocarbon propellant 900 ppm
irreversible or other serious effects or symptoms which could
impair an individual's ability to take protective action is:
toluene 300 ppm
xylene 200 ppm
hydrocarbon propellant 200 ppm
other than mild, transient adverse effects
without perceiving a clearly defined odour is:
toluene 50 ppm
xylene 150 ppm
hydrocarbon propellant 150 ppm
The threshold concentration below which most people.
will experience no appreciable risk of health effects:
toluene 50 ppm
xylene 100 ppm
hydrocarbon propellant 100 ppm

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
.
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.

TOLUENE: 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: 0.16-6.7 (detection), 1.9-69 (recognition) NOTE: Detector tubes measuring in excess of 5 ppm, are available. 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. XYLENE: 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. HYDROCARBON PROPELLANT:
· 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].
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities. OTHERWISE: For potentially moderate exposures: Wear general protective gloves, eg. light weight rubber gloves. For potentially heavy exposures: Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC. and safety footwear.
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities. OTHERWISE: · Overalls. · Skin cleansing cream. · Eyewash unit. · Do not spray on hot surfaces.
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.

Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments. The
liquid may produce gastrointestinal discomfort and may be harmful if swallowed.
Ingestion may result in nausea, pain and vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by
aspiration may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include nonspecific discomfort,
symptoms of giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects, slowed
reaction time, slurred speech and may progress to unconsciousness. Serious
poisonings may result in respiratory depression and may be fatal.
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.
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
Spray mist may produce discomfort.
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 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 the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
(spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the
course of normal handling, may be harmful.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be
accompanied by narcosis, drowsiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack
of coordination and vertigo.
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.
WARNING:Intentional misuse by concentrating/inhaling contents may be lethal.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
Harmful: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through
inhalation. Serious damage (clear functional disturbance or morphological change
which may have toxicological significance) is likely to be caused by repeated or
prolonged exposure. As a rule the material produces, or contains a substance
which produces severe lesions. Such damage may become apparent following direct
application in subchronic (90 day) toxicity studies or following sub-acute (28
day) or chronic (two-year) toxicity tests. 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.
