Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SWALLOWED

Not considered a normal route of entry.
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 unconscious.
· Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can
comfortably drink.
· Seek medical advice.

EYE

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.

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 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.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN

Treat symptomatically.
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].

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

· Alcohol stable foam.
· Dry chemical powder.
· BCF (where regulations permit).
· Carbon dioxide.
· Water spray or fog - Large fires only.

· If safe, switch off electrical equipment until vapour fire hazard removed.
· Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
· DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot.
· Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
· If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
· Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire,
consider evacuation by 100 metres in all directions.

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD

· Liquid and vapour are highly flammable.
· Severe fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
· Vapour forms an explosive mixture with air.
· Severe explosion hazard, in the form of vapour, when exposed to flame or spark.
· Vapour may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition.

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.

INGREDIENT DATA

NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, LIGHT, HYDROTREATED:
   REL TWA: 100 ppm (total hydrocarbons)                               [Exxon]

ISOPROPANOL:
   Odour Threshold Value: 3.3 ppm (detection), 7.6 ppm (recognition)
   Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is thought to
   minimise the potential for inducing narcotic effects or significant
   irritation of the eyes or upper respiratory tract. It is believed, in the
   absence of hard evidence, that this limit also provides protection against
   the development of chronic health effects. The limit is intermediate to
   that set for ethanol, which is less toxic, and n-propyl alcohol, which is
   more toxic, than isopropanol.

CARBON DIOXIDE:
   NOTE: Detector tubes for carbon dioxide, measuring in excess of 0.01 % vol.,
   are commercially available. Long-term measurements (4 hrs) may be
   conducted to detect concentrations exceeding 250 ppm.
   Studies using physically fit males in confined spaces indicate the TLV-TWA
   and STEL provides a wide margin of safety against asphyxiation and from
   undue metabolic stress, provided normal amounts of oxygen are present in
   inhaled air. Lowered oxygen content, increased physical activity and
   prolonged exposures each impact on systemic and respiratory effects.
   Stimulation of the respiratory centre is produced at 50,000 ppm (5%). The
   gas is weakly narcotic at 30,000 ppm giving rise to reduced acuity of
   hearing and increasing blood pressure and pulse, Persons exposed at
   20,000 ppm for several hours developed headaches and dyspnea on mild
   exertion, Acidosis and adrenal cortical exhaustion occurred as a result
   of prolonged continuous exposure at 10,000-20,0000 ppm.
   Intoxication occurs after a 30 minute exposure at 50,000 ppm whilst
   exposure at 70,000-100,000 ppm produces unconsciousness within a few
   minutes.

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

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.

OTHER

No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE:
· Overalls.
· Skin cleansing cream.
· Eyewash unit.
· Do not spray on hot surfaces.

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.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

CARE: Use of a quantity of this material in confined space or poorly ventilated area,
where rapid build up of concentrated atmosphere may occur, could require increased
ventilation and/or protective gear.
General exhaust is adequate under normal conditions. If risk of overexposure exists, wear
SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Ingestion of petroleum hydrocarbons can irritate the pharynx, oesophagus, stomach and
small intestine, and cause swellings and ulcers of the mucous. Symptoms include a burning
mouth and throat; larger amounts can cause nausea and vomiting, narcosis, weakness,
dizziness, slow and shallow breathing, abdominal swelling, unconsciousness and
convulsions. Damage to the heart muscle can produce heart beat irregularities,
ventricular fibrillation (fatal) and ECG changes. The central nervous system can be
depressed. Light species can cause a sharp tingling of the tongue and cause loss of
sensation there. Aspiration can cause cough, gagging, pneumonia with swelling and
bleeding.

EYE

Direct eye contact with petroleum hydrocarbons can be painful, and the corneal epithelium
may be temporarily damaged. Aromatic species can cause irritation and excessive tear
secretion.
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.

SKIN

Spray mist may produce discomfort.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
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.
Irritating to skin.
Most liquid alcohols appear to act as primary skin irritants in humans. Significant
percutaneous absorption occurs in rabbits but not apparently in man.

INHALED

Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Inhalation of high concentrations of gas/vapour causes lung irritation with coughing and
nausea, central nervous depression with headache and dizziness, slowing of reflexes,
fatigue and inco-ordination.
WARNING:Intentional misuse by concentrating/inhaling contents may be lethal.
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.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures.
Harmful: danger of serious damage to health
by prolonged exposure through inhalation.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver
and blood changes. [PATTYS].
Constant or exposure over long periods to mixed hydrocarbons may produce stupor with
dizziness, weakness and visual disturbance, weight loss and anaemia, and reduced liver
and kidney function. Skin exposure may result in drying and cracking and redness of the
skin. Chronic exposure to lighter hydrocarbons can cause nerve damage, peripheral
neuropathy, bone marrow dysfunction and psychiatric disorders as well as damage the liver
and kidneys.
WARNING: Aerosol containers may present pressure related hazards.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION

The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Marine Pollutant:Not Determined

The lower molecular weight hydrocarbons are expected to form a "slick" on the surface of
waters after release in calm sea conditions. This is expected to evaporate and enter the
atmosphere where it will be degraded through reaction with hydroxy radicals.

Some of the material will become associated with benthic sediments, and it is likely to
be spread over a fairly wide area of sea floor. Marine sediments may be either aerobic or
anaerobic. The material, in probability, is biodegradable, under aerobic conditions
(isomerised olefins and alkenes show variable results). Evidence also suggests that the
hydrocarbons may be degradable under anaerobic conditions although such degradation in
benthic sediments may be a relatively slow process.

Under aerobic conditions the material will degrade to water and carbon dioxide, while
under anaerobic processes it will produce water, methane and carbon dioxide.

Based on test results, as well as theoretical considerations, the potential for
bioaccumulation may be high. Toxic effects are often observed in species such as blue
mussel, daphnia, freshwater green algae, marine copepods and amphipods.
