SWALLOWED
Not considered a normal route of entry.
路 If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
路 If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if
possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
路 Observe the patient carefully.
路 Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness;
i.e. becoming unconscious.
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 aerosols come in contact with the eyes:
路 Immediately hold the eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously for at least 15
minutes with fresh 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 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 solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin:
路 Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
路 Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.
路 DO NOT use solvents.
路 Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.
INHALED
If aerosols, fumes or combustion products are inhaled:
路 Remove to fresh air.
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 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.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
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

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
excrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves clearance.
路 A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and
circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
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].

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.

NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, LIGHT, HYDROTREATED:
NAPHTHA, PETROLEUM, HYDRODESULFURISED HEAVY:
Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on
the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these
irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne
concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be
protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established
using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no
-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results
are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling
values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV
STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints
combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five
-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.
However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)
Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely
allied to that of the USA.
OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
路 cause inflammation
路 cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
路 lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
路 permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
路 acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus
increasing the risk of overexposure.
NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, LIGHT AROMATIC SOLVENT:
TOLUENE:
Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into consideration
reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for other toxic effects.
Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been suggested as an additional
standard. These have been established after a literature search for reproductive no
-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level
(LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's procedures for risk assessment for hazard
identification and dose-response assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation
of such limits. Uncertainty factors (UFs) have also been incorporated.
NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, LIGHT AROMATIC SOLVENT:
TOLUENE:
These exposure guidelines have been derived from a screening level of risk assessment
and should not be construed as unequivocally safe limits. ORGS represent an 8-hour time

for petroleum distillates:
CEL TWA: 500 ppm, 2000 mg/m3 (compare OSHA TWA).
TOLUENE:
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be absorbed
through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour inhalation exposure.
Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous
membranes may also contribute to overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure
standard.
Odour Threshold Value: 0.16-6.7 (detection), 1.9-69 (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes measuring in excess of 5 ppm, are available.
High concentrations of toluene in the air produce depression of the
central nervous system (CNS) in humans. Intentional toluene exposure
(glue-sniffing) at maternally-intoxicating concentration has also produced
birth defects. Foetotoxicity appears at levels associated with CNS
narcosis and probably occurs only in those with chronic toluene-induced
kidney failure. Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought
to prevent transient headache and irritation, to provide a measure of
safety for possible disturbances to human reproduction, the prevention of
reductions in cognitive responses reported amongst humans inhaling
greater than 40 ppm, and the significant risks of hepatotoxic, behavioural
and nervous system effects (including impaired reaction time and
incoordination). Although toluene/ethanol interactions are well
recognised, the degree of protection afforded by the TLV-TWA among
drinkers is not known.

CEL TWA: 50 ppm, 125 mg/m3
METHYLAL:
The TLV-TWA is protective against eyes and mucous membrane irritation and
against central nervous system depression.
DIMETHYL ETHER:
The no-effect-level for dimethyl ether is somewhere between 2000 ppm
(rabbits) and 50,000 ppm (humans) with possible cardiac sensitisation
occurring around 200,000 ppm (dogs). The AIHA has adopted a safety factor
of 100 in respect to the 50,000 ppm level in its recommendation for a
workplace environmental exposure level (WEEL) which is thought to protect
against both narcotic and sensitising effects. This level is consistent
with the TLV-TWA of 400 ppm for diethyl ether and should be easily
achievable using current technologies. The use of the traditionally
allowable excursion of 1.25 to the level of 6.25 ppm is felt to be more

Directives), the material may still be damaging to the health of the individual,
following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g liver, kidney) damage is

evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses
producing mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health).
Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational
setting however, ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for
concern.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.
Overexposure is unlikely in this form.
Ingestion may result in nausea, pain, vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by aspiration
may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
EYE
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),
direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or
conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
SKIN
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material either produces
inflammation of the skin in a substantial number of individuals following direct contact,
and/or produces significant inflammation when applied to the healthy intact skin of
animals, for up to four hours, such inflammation being present twenty-four hours or more
after the end of the exposure period. Skin irritation may also be present after prolonged
or repeated exposure; this may result in a form of contact dermatitis (nonallergic). The
dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which
may progress to blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of the epidermis. At
the microscopic level there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer of the skin
(spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC
Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds,
lesions or abrasions.
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 the epidermis. Histologically there
may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of
the epidermis.
INHALED
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the
respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
control measures be used in an occupational setting.
Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of
normal handling, may be harmful.
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.
WARNING:Intentional misuse by concentrating/inhaling contents may be lethal.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Exposure to the material may cause concerns for human fertility, generally on the basis
that results in animal studies provide sufficient evidence to cause a strong suspicion of
impaired fertility in the absence of toxic effects, or evidence of impaired fertility
occurring at around the same dose levels as other toxic effects, but which are not a
secondary non-specific consequence of other toxic effects.
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis following.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, LIGHT, HYDROTREATED:
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.
Drinking Water Standards:
hydrocarbon total: 10 ug/l (UK max.).
Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below
the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing
of equipment wash-waters.
