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.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
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 154 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.
6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING GUIDELINES (ERPG)

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Additional to effects produced by inhalation of the relatively inert zinc
oxide, exposure to the chloride produces irritancy as a result of hydrolysis
to hydrogen chloride in the pulmonary fluids.
Zinc chloride fume has caused death, chemical pneumonitis, alveolar and
bronchiolar obliteration, and ulcerative damage to the mucous membranes of
both the nasopharynx and respiratory tract. Acute pulmonary damage produces
respiratory distress, gradual renal failure and combined respiratory and
metabolic acidosis. These effects may be lethal. A pale grey cyanosis may be
symptomatic. 30 minutes exposure at 4.8 mg/m鲁 produces mild, transient
respiratory irritation whilst 0.4 mg/m鲁 is not irritating. The recommended
TLV is thought to minimise the potential of respiratory irritation,
pulmonary toxicity and the risk of damage to eyes and skin.
EXPOSURE STANDARDS FOR MIXTURE
"Worst Case" computer-aided prediction of spray/ mist or fume/ dust components
and concentration:

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
鈥? Safety glasses with side shields.
鈥? Chemical goggles.
鈥? Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary
protection of eyes
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
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].

CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area.
鈥? Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or
crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will
be powdered by mutual friction.
鈥? Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and
recirculation of particulates in the workplace.
鈥? If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air
could occur, respiratory protection should be considered. Such protection might
consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption
cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks
鈥? Build-up of electrostatic charge on the dust particle, may be prevented by
bonding and grounding.
鈥? Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may
require additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities
which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air
required to efficiently remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
direct "spray " spray painting in 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
shallow "booths " drum "filling "
conveyer "loading " crusher "dusts "
gas discharge (active generation into
zone of rapid air motion)
grinding " abrasive "blasting " 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
"tumbling " high speed wheel generated
dusts (released at high initial
velocity into zone of very high rapid
air motion).

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 4-10 m/s (800-2000 f/min)
for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 metres 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
The material is highly discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract may cause
severe mucous membrane damage and may be fatal if swallowed in large quantity
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and diarrhoea.
Soluble zinc salts produce irritation and corrosion of the alimentary tract with
pain, and vomiting. Death can occur due to insufficiency of food intake due to
severe narrowing of the oesophagus and pylorus.
EYE
The dust may be highly discomforting and is corrosive to the eyes and is capable
of causing pain and severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with
possible permanent impairment of vision, if not promptly and adequately treated.
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
SKIN
The material is highly discomforting to the skin and may be corrosive and is
capable of causing burns.
if exposure is prolonged.
Solution of material in moisture on the skin, or perspiration, may markedly
increase skin corrosion and accelerate tissue destruction.
Bare unprotected skin should not be exposed to this material.
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.
INHALED
The dust may be extremely discomforting to the upper respiratory tract and may
be harmful if inhaled.
The material may produce respiratory tract irritation, and result in damage to
the lung including reduced lung function.
Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such
as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive
concentrations of particulate are inhaled.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact. with the material and
inhalation of generated dust. Welding or flame cutting of metals with zinc or
zinc dust coatings may result in inhalation of zinc oxide fume; high
concentrations of zinc oxide fume may result in "metal fume fever"; also known
as "brass chills", an industrial disease of short duration. [I.L.O] Symptoms
include malaise, fever, weakness, nausea and may appear quickly if operations
occur in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. 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.
