Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SWALLOWED

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.

EYE

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.

SKIN

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.

INHALED

· 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.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN

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. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical
Toxicology]

PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR SPILL

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.

 

Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.

ODOUR SAFETY FACTOR (OSF)

    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

   PEL TWA:  1000 ppm, 2400 mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
   TLV TWA: 500 ppm, 1188 mg/m³; STEL: 750 ppm, 1782 mg/m³  A4
   NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as
   causing Cancer in humans
   ES TWA: 500 ppm, 1185 mg/m³; STEL: 1000 ppm, 2375 mg/m³
   OES TWA: 750 ppm, 1810 mg/m³; STEL: 1500 ppm, 3620 mg/m³
   NIOSH REL TWA: 250 ppm
   MAK Value: 500 ppm, 1200 mg/m³
   IDLH Level: 2500 ppm (lower explosive limit)
   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 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
   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.

   OES TWA: 400 ppm, 1460 mg/m³
   MAK value: 400 ppm, 1500 mg/m³
   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 Group C: There is no reason to fear risk of damage to the developing embryo
   when MAK and BAT values are observed.
   MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
   Federal Republic of Germany
   IDLH Level: 2000 ppm (lower explosive limit)
   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.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

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

EYE

The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.

SKIN

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.

INHALED

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.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

Principal routes of exposure are by skin contact/absorption and inhalation of
mist/vapours. 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.

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.
