Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
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.
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.
In acute poisonings by essential oils the stomach should be emptied by aspiration and
lavage. Give a saline purgative such as sodium sulfate (30 g in 250 ml water) unless
catharsis is already present. Demulcent drinks may also be given. Large volumes of fluid
should be given provided renal function is adequate. [MARTINDALE: The Extra Pharmacopoeia

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.

INGREDIENT DATA
ORANGE, SWEET, EXTRACT:
PROPYLENE GLYCOL MONOMETHYL ETHER ACETATE, ALPHA-ISOMER:
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.
PROPYLENE GLYCOL MONOMETHYL ETHER ACETATE, ALPHA-ISOMER:
Saturated vapour concentration: 4868 ppm at 20 C.
A two-week inhalation study found nasal effects to the nasal mucosa in
animals at concentrations up to 3000 ppm. Differences in the teratogenic
potential of the alpha (commercial grade) and beta isomers of PGMEA may
be explained by the formation of different metabolites. The beta-isomer is
thought to be oxidised to methoxypropionic acid, a homologue to
methoxyacetic acid which is a known teratogen. The alpha- form is
conjugated and excreted.
PGMEA mixture (containing 2% to 5% beta isomer) is a mild skin and eye

irritant, produces mild central nervous system effects in animals at
3000 ppm and produces mild CNS impairment and upper respiratory tract
and eye irritation in humans at 1000 ppm. In rats exposed to 3000 ppm
PGMEA produced slight foetotoxic effects (delayed sternabral ossification)
- no effects on foetal development were seen in rabbits exposed at 3000 ppm.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
路 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.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must
be taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin
contact.
OTHER
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE:
路 Overalls.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include nonspecific discomfort, symptoms of
giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects, slowed reaction time,
slurred speech and may progress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may result in
respiratory depression and may be fatal.
EYE
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause eye
irritation in a substantial number of individuals and/or may produce significant ocular
lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more after instillation into the eye(s) of
experimental animals.
Repeated or prolonged eye contact may cause inflammation characterised by temporary
redness (similar to windburn) of the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis); temporary impairment
of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may occur.
The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation. Repeated or
prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
SKIN
Spray mist may produce discomfort.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
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 epidermis. Histologically there may
be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the
epidermis.
INHALED
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
There is sufficient evidence to provide a strong presumption that human exposure to the
material may result in developmental toxicity, generally on the basis of:
- clear results in appropriate animal studies where effects have been observed in the
absence of marked maternal toxicity, or at around the same dose levels as other toxic
effects but which are not secondary non-specific consequences of the other toxic effects.
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some
persons compared to the general population.
Sensitisation may result in allergic dermatitis responses including rash, itching, hives
or swelling of extremities.
Some glycol esters and their ethers cause wasting of the testicles, reproductive changes,
infertility and changes to kidney function. Shorter chain compounds are more dangerous.
Higher concentrations and prolonged exposure can cause blood in the urine.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.

TOXICITY IRRITATION
Skin (rabbit): 500mg/24h Moderate
Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria
or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T
lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g.
contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of the
contact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitisation potential: the
distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equally
important. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more
important allergen than one with stronger sensitising potential with which few
individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are noteworthy
if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.

Substances containing unsaturated carbons are ubiquitous in indoor environments. They
result from many sources (see below). Most are reactive with environmental ozone and many
produce stable products which are thought to adversely affect human health.The potential
for surfaces in an enclosed space to facilitate reactions should be considered.

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 discharge into sewer or waterways.
TALLOW ALCOHOLS, ETHOXYLATED:
Biodegradability:
90% BIAS COD: 2470 O2/g product
Inhibition of bacteria in effluent: 50% inhibition >500 mg/l
Alcohol ethoxylates are generally biodegradable and do not persist for any substantial
period in the environment. They are not usually present a concentrations which might
produce problems. Contamination of natural waters, however, should be avoided.
A EU Risk Assessment Report (RAR) concluded that octyl- and nonyl- phenol ethoxylates are
not readily biodegradable but are inherently biodegradable
As a group, these materials are generally toxic to fish with LC50s ranging, typically,
between 1-6 mg/l.
Of special concern are the following families which are classified as "Environmentally
Hazardous Substances" by either or both the ADR (Accord Europeen Relatif au Transport
International des Merchandises Dangerous par Route) and the IMDG Code (International
Maritime Dangerous Goods Code).
alcohols C 6-17 (secondary) with 3-6 moles of ethoxylation.
alcohols C12-15 with 1-3 moles of ethoxylation (1-6 moles of ethoxylation IMDG)
alcohols C13-15 with 1-6 moles of ethoxylation.
New aquatic data suggests that
alcohols C 8-9 branched with 3-10 moles of ethoxylation
alcohols C 8-9 branched with > 10 moles of ethoxylation should also be classified as
'harmful to the environment"
These alcohols may also be found linked to aromatic structures (in nonylphenol
ethoxylates for example). The current consensus determines that such entities become
Environmental Toxins by association.
