EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
RISK
Harmful to aquatic organisms.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
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

Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg.
liver, kidney) damage is evident. 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
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
INHALED
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
Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects
adverse to the health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models);
nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a matter of course.
Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
- Immediately give a glass of water.
- First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons
Information Centre or a doctor.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with eyes:
- Wash out immediately with water.
- If irritation continues, seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Other measures are usually unnecessary.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- Control personal contact by using protective equipment as required.
- Prevent spillage from entering drains or water ways.
- Contain spill with sand, earth or vermiculite.
- Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling.
- Absorb remaining product with sand, earth or vermiculite and place in
appropriate containers for disposal.
- Wash area and prevent runoff into drains or waterways.
- If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise emergency services.
ACUTE EXPOSURE GUIDELINE LEVELS (AEGL) (in ppm)
AEGL 1: The airborne concentration of a substance above which it is predicted
that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could
experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic nonsensory
effects. However, the effects are not disabling and are transient and
reversible upon cessation of exposure.
AEGL 2: The airborne concentration of a substance above which it is predicted
that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could
experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health effects
or an impaired ability to escape.
AEGL 3: The airborne concentration of a substance above which it is predicted
that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could
experience life-threatening health effects or death.
Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
- Limit all unnecessary personal contact.
- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
- When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
- Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
- Avoid physical damage to containers.
- Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
- Work clothes should be laundered separately.
- Use good occupational work practice.
- Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
- Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards
to ensure safe working conditions are maintained.
RECOMMENDED STORAGE METHODS
- Polyethylene or polypropylene container.
- Packing as recommended by manufacturer
- Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
- Store in original containers.
- Keep containers securely sealed.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

No data available: dimethyliminoethylene dichloride, ethoxylate as (CAS: 31512-74-0) / (CAS: 31075-24-8)
No data for Algae Destroyer Advanced.
INGREDIENT DATA
DIMETHYLIMINOETHYLENE DICHLORIDE, ETHOXYLATE:
Dusts not otherwise classified, as inspirable dust;
ES TWA: 10 mg/m鲁.
Particulate (insoluble or poorly soluble *) Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.C)
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m鲁 Inhalable particulate
TLV TWA: 3 mg/m鲁 Respirable particulate
OEL-Sweden, United Kingdom: 10 mg/m鲁 total dust, 5 mg/m鲁 respirable dust
These "dusts" have little adverse effect on the lungs and do not produce toxic
effects or organic disease. Although there is no dust which does not evoke some
cellular response at sufficiently high concentrations, the cellular response
caused by P.N.O.C.s has the following characteristics:
- the architecture of the air spaces remain intact,
- scar tissue (collagen) is not synthesised to any degree,
- tissue reaction is potentially reversible.
Extensive concentrations of P.N.O.C.s may:
- seriously reduce visibility,
- cause unpleasant deposits in the eyes, ears and nasal passages,
- contribute to skin or mucous membrane injury by chemical or mechanical action,
per se, or by the rigorous skin cleansing procedures necessary for their
removal. [ACGIH]
This limit does not apply:
- to brief exposures to higher concentrations
- nor does it apply to those substances that may cause physiological impairment
at lower concentrations but for which a TLV has as yet to be determined.
This exposure standard applies to particles which
- are insoluble or poorly soluble* in water or, preferably, in aqueous lung
fluid (if data is available) and
- have a low toxicity (i.e.. are not cytotoxic, genotoxic, or otherwise
chemically reactive with lung tissue, and do not emit ionizing radiation, cause
immune sensitization, or cause toxic effects other than by inflammation or by a
mechanism of lung overload)
* Notice of intended change.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safety glasses with side shields
- Chemical goggles.
- 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 general protective gloves, eg. light weight rubber gloves.
OTHER
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE:
- Overalls.
- Barrier cream.
- Eyewash unit.
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.
