 Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES



 SWALLOWED

Page 3 of 10









 If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.

 � If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.

 � If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down

 position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.

 � Observe the patient carefully.

 � Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced

 awareness; i.e. becoming unconsciousness

 � Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as

 casualty can comfortably drink.

 � Seek medical advice.



 EYE



 If this product comes in contact with the eyes:

 � Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running

 water.

 � 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.

 � Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a

 doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.

 � Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.

 � 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:

 � Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).

 � Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.

 � DO NOT use solvents.

 � Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.



 INHALED



 � If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.

 � Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.

 � Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,

 where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.

 � 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.

 � Transport to hospital, or doctor.



 NOTES TO PHYSICIAN



 For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related

 hydrocarbons:

 � Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or

 inhalation, is respiratory failure.

 � 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.

 � Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and

 electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported;

Page 4 of 10







 intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously

 symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that

 hyperventilation improves clearance.

 � A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and

 circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.

 � 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.

 � Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of

 cuffed endotracheal tube in adult patients. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical

 Toxicology]

 Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

 POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS





 ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS



 SWALLOWED



 Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments. The

 liquid may produce gastrointestinal discomfort and may be harmful if swallowed.

 Ingestion may result in nausea, pain and vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by

 aspiration may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.



 EYE



 The liquid may produce eye discomfort and is capable of causing temporary

 impairment of vision and/or transient eye inflammation, ulceration

 The vapour is discomforting

 to the eyes

 if exposure is prolonged

 The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced

 inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce

 conjunctivitis.



 SKIN

Page 9 of 10









 The liquid may produce skin discomfort following prolonged contact. Defatting

 and/or drying of the skin may lead to dermatitis

 The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition

 Open cuts, abraded or irritated 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 vapour is discomforting

 to the upper respiratory tract and lungs

 if inhaled

 Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.

 Acute effects from inhalation of high vapour concentrations may be chest and

 nasal irritation with coughing, sneezing, headache and even nausea.

 If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead

 to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.



 CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS



 Principal routes of exposure are usually by

 inhalation of vapour

 inhalation of vapour/spray mist

 and

 skin contact

 with the material

 Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with

 drying, cracking, irritation and dermatitis following.

 Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and

 liver and blood changes. [PATTYS]

 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.
