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
Neoprene gloves.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
Natural rubber, butyl rubber and vinyl are not suitable protective
materials.

CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed 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., evaporating 0.25- 0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min)
from tank (in still air)
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, 0.5- 1 m/s (100- 200 f/min.)
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 booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min)
drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts,
gas discharge (active generation into zone of
rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high 2.5- 10 m/s (500- 2000 f/min.)
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 favourable to 1: Disturbing room air currents

2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance 2: Contaminants of high toxicity

3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
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.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The toxicity of phthalates is not excessive due to slow oral absorption and metabolism.
Absorption is affected by fat in the diet. Repeated doses can cause cumulative toxic
effects, and symptoms include an enlarged liver which often reverses if exposure is
maintained. Carbohydrate metabolism is disrupted, and cholesterol and triglyceride levels
in the blood falls. There can also be withering of the testicles. Some phthalates can
increase the effects of antibiotics, thiamine (vitamin B1) and sulfonamides.
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as
"harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human
evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following
ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg. liver, kidney) damage is evident.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
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.
EYE
Although the liquid 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).
SKIN
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.
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 .
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
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.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
The material may produce peroxisome proliferation. Peroxisomes are single, membrane
limited organelles in the cytoplasm that are found in the cells of animals, plants, fungi
, and protozoa. Proxisome proliferators include certain hypolipidaemic drugs, phthalate
ester plasticisers, industrial solvents, herbicides, food flavours, leukotriene D4
antagonists and hormones. Animal studies have shown that peroxisome proliferators clearly
cause cancer, especially of the liver.
Exposure to phthalates over years leads to pain, numbness and spasms in the hands and
feet. Many people have developed multiple disorders in the nervous system and the
balancing system. Levels of sex hormones are reduced in women, leading to missed
ovulations and miscarriages. They also reduce sperm counts and fertility in men. They
mimic certain sex hormones and can damage the foetus. Phthalates are found in paints,
inks and glues.

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The phthalate esters are distributed throughout the environment ubiquitously. They are
found complexed with fulvic acid components of the humic substances in soil and marine
and estuarine waters. Fulvic acid appears to act as a solubiliser for the otherwise
insoluble ester and serves to mediate its transport and mobilisation in water or
immobilisation in soil. Phthalate esters have been found in open ocean environments, in
deep sea jelly fish, Atlantic herring and in mackerel. Phthalic ester plasticisers are
clearly recognised as general contaminants of almost every soil and water ecosystem. In
general they have low acute toxicity but the weight of evidence supporting their
carcinogenicity is substantial. Other subtle chronic effects have also been reported. As
little as 4 ug/ml in culture medium is lethal to chick embryo heart cells. This

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
concentration is similar to that reached in human blood stored in vinyl plastic bags for
as little as one day. Some phthalates (notably di2-ethylhexyl phthalate and dibutyl
phthalate) may also be detrimental to the reproduction of the water flea (Daphnia magna),
zebra fish and guppies. As phthalates are present in drinking water and food, concerns
have been raised about their long term effects on humans.
On the basis of available evidence concerning either toxicity, persistence, potential to
accumulate and or observed environmental fate and behaviour, the material may present a
danger, immediate or long-term and /or delayed, to the structure and/ or functioning of
natural ecosystems.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
