Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
鈥? If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
鈥? If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
鈥? Observe the patient carefully.
鈥? Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
鈥? Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
鈥? Seek medical advice.
If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down,
lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
鈥? Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
鈥? 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.
鈥? If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
鈥? Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
鈥? Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
鈥? Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
鈥? Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
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
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.
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, 28th Ed.].
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].

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
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.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
鈥? Use good occupational work practice.
鈥? Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
鈥? Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards
to ensure safe working conditions.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
Packing as supplied by manufacturer. Plastic containers may only be used if
approved for flammable liquid. Check that containers are clearly labelled and
free from leaks.
鈥? For low viscosity materials (i) : Drums and jerry cans must be of the
non-removable head type. (ii) : Where a can is to be used as an inner package,
the can must have a screwed enclosure.
鈥? For materials with a viscosity of at least 2680 cSt. (23 deg. C)
鈥? For manufactured product having a viscosity of at least 250 cSt. (23 deg. C)
鈥? Manufactured product that requires stirring before use and having a viscosity
of at least 20 cSt (25 deg. C)
(i) : Removable head packaging;
(ii) : Cans with friction closures and
(iii) : low pressure tubes and cartridges may be used.
鈥? Where combination packages are used, and the inner packages are of glass,
there must be sufficient inert cushioning material in contact with inner and
outer packages
鈥? In addition, where inner packagings are glass and contain liquids of packing
group I there must be sufficient inert absorbent to absorb any spillage, unless
the outer packaging is a close fitting moulded plastic box and the substances
are not incompatible with the plastic.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
鈥? The various oxides of nitrogen and peroxyacids may be dangerously reactive in
the presence of alkenes. BRETHERICK L.: Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards
鈥? Avoid reaction with strong Lewis or mineral acids.
鈥? Reaction with halogens requires carefully controlled conditions.
鈥? Free radical initiators should be avoided.
The interaction of alkenes and alkynes with nitrogen oxides and oxygen may
produce explosive addition products; these may form at very low temperatures and
explode on heating to higher temperatures (the addition products from
1,3-butadiene and cyclopentadiene form rapidly at -150 C and ignite or explode
on warming to -35 to -15 C). These derivatives ("pseudo- nitrosites") were
formerly used to characterise terpene hydrocarbons. Exposure to air must be kept
to a minimum so as to limit the build-up of peroxides which will concentrate in
bottoms if the product is distilled. The product must not be distilled to
dryness if the peroxide concentration is substantially above 10 ppm (as active
oxygen) since explosive decomposition may occur. Distillate must be immediately
inhibited to prevent peroxide formation. The effectiveness of the antioxidant is
limited once the peroxide levels exceed 10 ppm as active oxygen. Addition of
more inhibitor at this point is generally ineffective. Prior to distillation it
is recommended that the product should be washed with aqueous ferrous ammonium
sulfate to destroy peroxides; the washed product should be immediately
re-inhibited. A range of exothermic decomposition energies for double bonds is
given as 40-90 kJ/mol. The relationship between energy of decomposition and
processing hazards has been the subject of discussion; it is suggested that
values of energy released per unit of mass, rather than on a molar basis (J/g)
be used in the assessment. For example, in "open vessel processes" (with
man-hole size openings, in an industrial setting), substances with exothermic
decomposition energies below 500 J/g are unlikely to present a danger, whilst
those in "closed vessel processes" (opening is a safety valve or bursting disk)
present some danger where the decomposition energy exceeds 150 J/g. BRETHERICK:
Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 4th Edition.
HAZARD: Rags wet / soaked with unsaturated hydrocarbons / drying oils auto
oxidise; may generate heat and in-time smoulder and ignite. Oily cleaning rags
should be collected regularly and immersed in water.

D-LIMONENE:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.
CEL TWA: 30 ppm, 165.6 mg/m鲁 (compare WEEL-TWA*)
A Workplace Environmental Exposure Level* has been established by AIHA
(American Industrial Hygiene Association) who have produced the following
rationale:
D-limonene is not acutely toxic. In its pure form it is not a sensitiser
but is irritating to the skin. Although there is clear evidence of
carcinogenicity in male rats, the effect has been attributed to an
alpha-2u-globin (a2u-G) renal toxicity which is both species and gender
specific. Humans do not synthesise a2u-G, and metabolism studies indicate
that 75% to 95% of d-limonene is excreted in 2-3 days with different
metabolites identified between humans and rats. In a 2-year study, liver
effects were noted in male mice at 500 mg/kg and reduced survival was noted
in female rats at 600 mg/kg. The no observable effect levels (NOELs) were
250 and 300 mg/kg, respectively. A WEEL of 30 ppm is recommended to
protect against these effects.

EYE
鈥? Safety glasses with side shields.
鈥? Chemical goggles.
鈥? 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

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
For flammable liquids and flammable gases, local exhaust ventilation or a
process enclosure ventilation system may be required. Ventilation equipment
should be explosion-resistant.
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 "

shallow "booths " drum "filling "
conveyer "loading " crusher "dusts "
gas discharge (active generation into
zone of 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
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
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
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging 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).
Essential oils cause mild irritation of the mouth if taken orally, causing more
saliva to be produced and a warm feeling. Large amounts affect the digestive
system causing nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Sometimes urination may be
affected, causing difficulty or pain in urinating, reduced urine output, blood
in the urine, unconsciousness and shallow breathing. Lung swelling and
inflammation are possible complications. Stupor, excitement and respiratory
failure may result, as well as convulsions; the central nervous system may
either be depressed or stimulated. The kidneys may be damaged, and swelling and
severe clogging can occur in the lungs, skin and kidneys. Essential oils
increase the rate of miscarriage, but in low doses do not usually cause an
abortion.
d-limonene, if ingested, causes a non-bloody diarrhoea and abnormalities in bone
formation. A strong urge to pass bowel may occur with little or no stools
actually passed. In massive doses death may occur.
EYE
This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
SKIN
Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic
effects may result following absorption.
The material may cause moderate inflammation of the skin either following direct
contact or after a delay of some time. Repeated exposure can cause contact
dermatitis which is characterised by redness, swelling and blistering.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
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 material may cause 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.
Essential oils irritate the skin and redden it, causing at first warmth and
smarting, followed by some local loss of sensation. They have been used to treat
chronic inflammatory conditions and to relieve neuralgia and rheumatic pain.
Care should be taken to avoid blistering; these oils may also produce
sensitisation.
d-limonene causes moderate irritation to skin including redness and swelling.
Sometimes there are delayed haemorrhagic lesions.
INHALED
Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material
during the course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health of the
individual.
There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory
irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause
further lung damage.
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.
Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include general 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.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be
accompanied by sleepiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of
co-ordination, and vertigo.
Inhalation of essential oil volatiles may cause dizziness, rapid, shallow
breathing, increased heart rate, respiratory irritation, loss of consciousness
or convulsions. Urination may stop, and there may be swelling and inflammation
of the lungs.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but
there is not enough data to make an assessment. Skin contact with the material
is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the
general population. d-Limonene may cause damage to and growths in the kidney.
These growths can progress to cancer. Sensitisation may result in allergic
dermatitis responses including rash, itching, hives or swelling of extremities.
