NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
To treat poisoning by the higher aliphatic alcohols:
路 Gastric lavage with copious amounts of water.
路 It may be beneficial to instill 60 ml of mineral oil into the stomach.
路 Oxygen and artificial respiration as needed.
路 Electrolyte balance: it may be useful to start 500 ml. M/6 sodium bicarbonate
intravenously but maintain a cautious and conservative attitude toward electrolyte
replacement unless shock or severe acidosis threatens.
路 To protect the liver, maintain carbohydrate intake by intravenous infusions of glucose.
路 Haemodialysis if coma is deep and persistent. [GOSSELIN, SMITH HODGE: Clinical
Toxicology of Commercial Products, Ed 5)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC TREATMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
路 Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.
路 Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary.
路 Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.
路 Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.
路 Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema.
路 Anticipate and treat, where necessary, for seizures.
路 DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to 200 ml
water (5 ml/kg recommended) for dilution where patient is able to swallow, has a strong
gag reflex and does not drool.
路 Give activated charcoal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED TREATMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
路 Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in unconscious
patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred.
路 Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use.
路 Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias.
路 Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers
solution. Fluid overload might create complications.
路 If the patient is hypoglycaemic (decreased or loss of consciousness, tachycardia,
pallor, dilated pupils, diaphoresis and/or dextrose strip or glucometer readings below 50
mg), give 50% dextrose.
路 Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids.
Fluid overload might create complications.
路 Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema.
路 Treat seizures with diazepam.
路 Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
路 Laboratory analysis of complete blood count, serum electrolytes, BUN, creatinine,
glucose, urinalysis, baseline for serum aminotransferases (ALT and AST), calcium,
phosphorus and magnesium, may assist in establishing a treatment regime. Other useful
analyses include anion and osmolar gaps, arterial blood gases (ABGs), chest radiographs
and electrocardiograph.
路 Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-assisted ventilation may be required for acute
parenchymal injury or adult respiratory distress syndrome.
路 Acidosis may respond to hyperventilation and bicarbonate therapy.
路 Haemodialysis might be considered in patients with severe intoxication.
路 Consult a toxicologist as necessary. BRONSTEIN, A.C. and CURRANCE, P.L. EMERGENCY CARE

SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE:
It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent)
for all substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborne
concentrations encountered in the workplace.
At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience). Airborne
concentrations must be maintained as low as is practically possible and occupational
exposure must be kept to a minimum.
NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified
(P.N.O.S) does NOT apply.
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.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields; or as required,
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
Wear chemical protective gloves. eg. PVC gloves with barrier cream
Wear safety footwear.

Use in a well-ventilated area.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation
may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear 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,

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.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material is moderately discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and may be
harmful if swallowed in large quantity.
Ingestion may result in nausea, pain, vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by aspiration
may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
Overexposure to non-ring alcohols causes nervous system symptoms. These include headache,
muscle weakness and inco-ordination, giddiness, confusion, delirium and coma. Digestive
symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Aspiration is much more dangerous
than ingestion because lung damage can occur and the substance is absorbed into the body.
Alcohols with ring structures and secondary and tertiary alcohols cause more severe
symptoms, as do heavier alcohols.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE
The liquid is discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing a mild, temporary
redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary impairment of vision and/ or
other transient eye damage/ ulceration.
The vapour from heated material is. highly discomforting to the eyes.
SKIN
The liquid may produce skin discomfort following prolonged contact. Defatting and/or
drying of the skin may lead to dermatitis.
Most liquid alcohols appear to act as primary skin irritants in humans. Significant
percutaneous absorption occurs in rabbits but not apparently in man.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The vapour from heated material is. discomforting to the upper respiratory tract and
lungs if inhaled.
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition such as asthma,
bronchitis, emphysema.
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.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures.
No human exposure data available. For this reason health effects described are based on
experience with chemically related materials.
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.

liquid phases. As a result surfactants are expected to transfer slowly, for example, from
water into the flesh of fish. During this process, readily biodegradable surfactants are
expected to be metabolised rapidly during the process of bioaccumulation. This was
emphasised by the OECD Expert Group stating that chemicals are not to be considered to
show bioaccumulation potential if they are readily biodegradable.
Several anionic and nonionic surfactants have been investigated to evaluate their
potential to bioconcentrate in fish. BCF values (BCF - bioconcentration factor) ranging
from 1 to 350 were found. These are absolute maximum values, resulting from the
radiolabelling technique used. In all these studies, substantial oxidative metabolism was
found resulting in the highest radioactivity in the gall bladder. This indicates liver
transformation of the parent compound and biliary excretion of the metabolised compounds,
so that "real" bioconcentration is overstated. After correction it can be expected that
"real" parent BCF values are one order of magnitude less than those indicated above, i.e.
"real" BCF is <100. Therefore the usual data used for classification by EU directives to
determine whether a substance is "Dangerous to the "Environment" has little bearing on
whether the use of the surfactant is environmentally acceptable.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
