路 Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
路 Seek medical advice.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
路 Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
路 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.
路 Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
路 Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
路 Quickly but gently, wipe material off skin with a dry, clean cloth.
路 Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
路 Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until
advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
路 Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
路 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.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis
should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means should
be used if it is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these
include gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. If spontaneous vomiting
has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be monitored for difficult
breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to
48 hours.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related
hydrocarbons:
路 Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or
inhalation, is respiratory failure.
路 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.
路 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.
路 A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and

路 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.
路 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
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear
approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct
fit is essential to ensure adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some
situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. 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:

grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
high speed wheel generated dusts

Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range

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.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Toxic effects may result from the accidental ingestion of the material; animal
experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 40 gram may be fatal or may
produce serious damage to the health of the individual.
Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of
chemical pneumonitis; serious consequences may result.
(ICSC13733).
Repeated or prolonged exposure to mixed hydrocarbons may produce narcosis with
dizziness, weakness, irritability, concentration and/or memory loss, tremor in
the fingers and tongue, vertigo, olfactory disorders, constriction of visual
field, paraesthesias of the extremities, weight loss and anaemia and
degenerative changes in the liver and kidney. Chronic exposure by petroleum
workers, to the lighter hydrocarbons, has been associated with visual
disturbances, damage to the central nervous system, peripheral neuropathies
(including numbness and paraesthesias), psychological and neurophysiological
deficits, bone marrow toxicities (including hypoplasia possibly due to benzene)
and hepatic and renal involvement. Chronic dermal exposure to petroleum
hydrocarbons may result in defatting which produces localised dermatoses.
Surface cracking and erosion may also increase susceptibility to infection by
microorganisms. One epidemiological study of petroleum refinery workers has
reported elevations in standard mortality ratios for skin cancer along with a
dose-response relationship indicating an association between routine workplace
exposure to petroleum or one of its constituents and skin cancer, particularly
melanoma. Other studies have been unable to confirm this finding.
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.
Ingestion of petroleum hydrocarbons may produce irritation of the pharynx,
oesophagus, stomach and small intestine with oedema and mucosal ulceration
resulting; symptoms include a burning sensation in the mouth and throat. Large
amounts may produce narcosis with nausea and vomiting, weakness or dizziness,
slow and shallow respiration, swelling of the abdomen, unconsciousness and
convulsions. Myocardial injury may produce arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation
and electrocardiographic changes. Central nervous system depression may also
occur. Light aromatic hydrocarbons produce a warm, sharp, tingling sensation on
contact with taste buds and may anaesthetise the tongue. Aspiration into the
lungs may produce coughing, gagging and a chemical pneumonitis with pulmonary
oedema and haemorrhage.
EYE
Petroleum hydrocarbons may produce pain after direct contact with the eyes.
Slight, but transient disturbances of the corneal epithelium may also result.
The aromatic fraction may produce irritation and lachrymation.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ...
SKIN
Skin contact with the material may produce toxic effects; systemic effects may
result following absorption.
The liquid may be miscible with fats or oils and may degrease the skin,
producing a skin reaction described as non-allergic contact dermatitis. The
material is unlikely to produce an irritant dermatitis as described in EC
Directives .
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.
INHALED
The material may produce respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms of pulmonary
irritation may include coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath,
headache, nausea, and a burning sensation.
Unlike most organs, the lung can respond to a chemical insult or a chemical
agent, by first removing or neutralising the irritant and then repairing the
damage (inflammation of the lungs may be a consequence).
The repair process (which initially developed to protect mammalian lungs from
foreign matter and antigens) may, however, cause further damage to the lungs
(fibrosis for example) when activated by hazardous chemicals. Often, this
results in an impairment of gas exchange, the primary function of the lungs.
Therefore prolonged exposure to respiratory irritants may cause sustained
breathing difficulties.
.
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.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
Symptoms of poisoning resulting from carbon monoxide exposure include
respiratory disorders, diarrhoea and shock. Carbon monoxide competes with oxygen
for haemoglobin binding sites and has a 240-fold affinity for these sites
compared to oxygen. In addition to oxygen deficiency further disability is
produced by the formation of carboxymyoglobin in muscles, to produce
disturbances in muscle metabolism, particularly that of the heart.
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
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern
following repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment
and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS].
Repeated or prolonged exposure to mixed hydrocarbons may produce narcosis with
dizziness, weakness, irritability, concentration and/or memory loss, tremor in
the fingers and tongue, vertigo, olfactory disorders, constriction of visual
field, paraesthesias of the extremities, weight loss and anaemia and
degenerative changes in the liver and kidney. Chronic exposure by petroleum
workers, to the lighter hydrocarbons, has been associated with visual
disturbances, damage to the central nervous system, peripheral neuropathies
(including numbness and paraesthesias), psychological and neurophysiological
deficits, bone marrow toxicities (including hypoplasia possibly due to benzene)
and hepatic and renal involvement. Chronic dermal exposure to petroleum
hydrocarbons may result in defatting which produces localised dermatoses.
Surface cracking and erosion may also increase susceptibility to infection by
microorganisms. One epidemiological study of petroleum refinery workers has
continued...

reported elevations in standard mortality ratios for skin cancer along with a
dose-response relationship indicating an association between routine workplace
exposure to petroleum or one of its constituents and skin cancer, particularly
melanoma. Other studies have been unable to confirm this finding.
Manganese is an essential trace element in all living organisms with the level
of tissue manganese remaining remarkably constant throughout life. Systemic
poisoning may result from inhalation or chronic ingestion of manganese
containing substances. Chronic exposure has been associated with two major
effects; bronchitis/pneumonitis following inhalation of manganese dusts and
"manganism", a neuropsychiatric disorder that may also arise from inhalation
exposures. Chronic exposure to low levels may result in the accumulation of
toxic concentrations in critical organs. The brain in particular appears to
sustain cellular damage to the ganglion. Symptoms appear before any pathology is
evident and may include a mask-like facial expression, spastic gait, tremors,
slurred speech, sometimes dystonia (disordered muscle tone), fatigue, anorexia,
asthenia (loss of strength and energy), apathy and the inability to concentrate.
Insomnia may be an early finding. Rat studies indicate the gradual accumulation
of brain manganese to produce lesions mimicking those found in Parkinsonism.
