                                    FIRST AID MEASURES

4.

Eye:

First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or

normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control

center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific

instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital

even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

Skin:

IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated

clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as

redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the

victim to a hospital for treatment.

Inhalation:

IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as

wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a

physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection

to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing

Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to

that advised under Protective Clothing.

Ingestion:

DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of

water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. Be

prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised by a physician. If the victim is convulsing or

unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the

victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body.



5.                                FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash point: 27 C closed cup (80.60F); Autoignition temperature: 5380C(10000F); Liquid m.p. -700C

                 0



(2030K)



Extinguishing media:

Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, and alcohol resistant foam. Water may be ineffective.



Special fire fighting procedure:

Wear protective clothing, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.



Unusual fire and explosion hazard:

. Emits toxic fumes of cyanide under fire conditions. Heat may cause pressure build up in containers

(Bleve). Water may be used to cool containers exposed to heat.

     foam.

�    If substance has entered a water course or sewer, inform the responsible authority.

�    Ventilate sewers and basements where there is no risk to personnel or public.



7.                                HANDLING AND STORAGE

�    Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection & use non-sparking tools.

�    Hygroscopic in nature.



8.          EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

�    Exposure Controls: Local exhaust ventilation must be provided.

     Odour threshold: data not available

�    Personal Protection:

     � Eyes: Goggles are required.

     � Hands: Compatible gloves are required. (PE/Butyl)

     � Clothing: Chemical work clothes required to prevent contact through skin.

     � Wash thoroughly after handling

     � Respirator: Wear appropriate OSHA (29CFR 1910.124) /NIOSH/MSHA/EU(EN 149) or

        equivalent approved respirator where conditions demand.

     � Failities using this chemical must have emergency showers and eye-baths.



�    Exposure Limits.

        The American Industrial Hygeine Association has set Workplace Environmental Exposure

        Limits (WEEL) for Picolines in 1988. A TWA 8 hrs of 2ppm and STEL TWA 15 minutes of

        5 ppm have been stated.
