INHALED
鈥? If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
鈥? Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
鈥? Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related
hydrocarbons:
鈥? Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or
inhalation, is respiratory failure.
鈥? 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.
鈥? 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.
鈥? A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and
circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of
cuffed endotracheal tube in adult patients. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical
Toxicology]

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.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation may be required in special circumstances. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear approved respirator. Supplied-air type respirator may be required
in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouses and enclosed storage
areas. 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

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.

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments
The liquid is discomforting
and may be
harmful
if swallowed
Ingestion may result in nausea, pain, vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by
aspiration may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
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
The liquid may produce eye discomfort and is capable of causing temporary
impairment of vision and/or transient eye inflammation, ulceration
The vapour is discomforting
to the eyes
The vapour when concentrated has pronounced eye irritation effects and this
gives some warning of high vapour concentrations. If eye irritation occurs seek
to reduce exposure with available control measures, or evacuate area.
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.
SKIN
The liquid is highly discomforting
to the skin
if exposure is prolonged
and may cause drying of the skin, which may lead to dermatitis
The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
The material may cause severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated
exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of
vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin. Repeated exposures may produce
severe ulceration.
INHALED
The vapour/mist is
discomforting
to the upper respiratory tract
and
the material presents a hazard
from repeated exposures over long periods
Inhalation of vapour is more likely at higher than normal 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.
Inhaling high concentrations of mixed hydrocarbons can cause narcosis, with
nausea, vomiting and lightheadedness. Low molecular weight (C2-C12) hydrocarbons
can irritate mucous membranes and cause incoordination, giddiness, nausea,
vertigo, confusion, headache, appetite loss, drowsiness, tremors and stupor.
Massive exposures can lead to severe central nervous system depression, deep

coma and death. Convulsions can occur due to brain irritation and/or lack of
oxygen. Permanent scarring may occur, with epileptic seizures and brain bleeds
occurring months after exposure. Respiratory system effects include inflammation
of the lungs with oedema and bleeding. Lighter species mainly cause kidney and
nerve damage; the heavier paraffins and olefins are especially irritant to the
respiratory system. Alkenes produce pulmonary oedema at high concentrations.
Liquid paraffins may produce sensation loss and depressant actions leading to
weakness, dizziness, slow and shallow respiration, unconsciousness, convulsions
and death. C5-7 paraffins may also produce multiple nerve damage. Aromatic
hydrocarbons accumulate in lipid rich tissues (typically the brain, spinal cord
and peripheral nerves) and may produce functional impairment manifested by
nonspecific symptoms such as nausea, weakness, fatigue, vertigo; severe
exposures may produce inebriation or unconsciousness. Many of the petroleum
hydrocarbons can sensitise the heart and may cause ventricular fibrillation,
leading to death.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of vapour and skin contact with the
material 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.
