SWALLOWED
- For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
- Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
- 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 unconscious.
- Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
- Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
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

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
- If dusts, vapours, aerosols, 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.
- If victim is conscious, give six calcium gluconate or calcium carbonate
tablets in water by mouth.
- Transport to hospital, or doctor, urgently.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
for corrosives:
--------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC TREATMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.
- Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as
necessary.
- Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.
- Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema .
- Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.
- Anticipate seizures.
- Where eyes have been exposed, flush immediately with water and continue to
irrigate with normal saline during transport to hospital.
- 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.
- Skin burns should be covered with dry, sterile bandages, following
decontamination.
- DO NOT attempt neutralisation as exothermic reaction may occur.
--------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED TREATMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in
unconscious patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred.
- Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use.
- Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias.
- Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers
solution. Fluid overload might create complications.
- Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema.
- Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of
fluids. Fluid overload might create complications.
- Treat seizures with diazepam.
- Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
- 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.
- Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-assisted ventilation may be required

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.
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

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.

in drinking water as Group 3 carcinogens; i.e. Not classifiable as to its
carcinogenicity to humans. Equivocal evidence of carcinogenic activity
(osteosarcoma) has been found in male rats administered sodium fluoride in
drinking water. (0-175 ppm) Evidence was not found in female rats or in male or
female mice.
OLEYLAMMONIUM CHLORIDE, ETHOXYLATED:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Chemical goggles.
- Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary
protection of eyes
- 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
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such a:
- frequency and duration of contact,
- chemical resistance of glove material,
- glove thickness and
- dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
When handling corrosive liquids, wear trousers or overalls outside of boots, to
avoid spills entering boots.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals.
Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to
avoid all possible skin contact.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- PVC Apron.
- PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
- Eyewash unit.
- Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of
breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant.
Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the
mask) may also be important.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Toxic effects may result from the accidental ingestion of the material; animal
experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 40 gram may be fatal or may
produce serious damage to the health of the individual.
The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and
gastrointestinal tract following ingestion.
Concentrated solutions of many cationics may cause corrosive damage to mucous
membranes and the oesophagus. Nausea and vomiting (sometimes bloody) may follow
ingestion. Serious exposures may produce an immediate burning sensation of the
mouth, throat and abdomen with profuse salivation, ulceration of mucous
membranes, signs of circulatory shock (hypotension, laboured breathing, and
cyanosis) and a feeling of apprehension, restlessness, confusion and weakness.
Weak convulsive movements may precede central nervous system depression.
Erosion, ulceration, and petechial haemorrhage may occur through the small
intestine with glottic, brain and pulmonary oedema. Death may result from
asphyxiation due to paralysis of the muscles of respiration or cardiovascular
collapse. Fatal poisoning may arise even when the only pathological signs are
visceral congestion, swallowing, mild pulmonary oedema or varying signs of
gastrointestinal irritation. Individuals who survive a period of severe
hypertension may develop kidney failure. Cloudy swelling, patchy necrosis and
fatty infiltration in such visceral organs as the heart, liver and kidneys shows
at death.
EYE
The material can produce chemical burns to the eye following direct contact.
Vapours or mists may be extremely irritating.
When applied to the eye(s) of animals, the material produces severe ocular
lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more after instillation.
SKIN
The material can produce chemical burns following direct contact with the skin.
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 skin is readily penetrated by the fluoride ion causing liquefaction necrosis
of the soft tissues and decalcification and corrosion of bone. Healing is
delayed and necrotic changes may continue to occur and spread beneath a layer of
tough coagulated skin.
INHALED
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects following
inhalation (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at
least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept
to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational

setting.
Acute effects of fluoride inhalation include irritation of nose and throat,
coughing and chest discomfort.
A single acute over-exposure may even cause nose bleed. Pre-existing respiratory
conditions such as emphysema, bronchitis may be aggravated by exposure.
Occupational asthma may result from exposure.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Repeated or prolonged exposure to corrosives may result in the erosion of teeth,
inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth and necrosis (rarely) of the
jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial
pneumonia may ensue. Gastrointestinal disturbances may also occur. Chronic
exposures may result in dermatitis and/or conjunctivitis. Limited evidence
suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative
health effects involving organs or biochemical systems. Limited evidence shows
that inhalation of the material is capable of inducing a sensitisation reaction
in a significant number of individuals at a greater frequency than would be
expected from the response of a normal population. Pulmonary sensitisation,
resulting in hyperactive airway dysfunction and pulmonary allergy may be
accompanied by fatigue, malaise and aching. Significant symptoms of exposure may
persist for extended periods, even after exposure ceases. Symptoms can be
activated by a variety of nonspecific environmental stimuli such as automobile
exhaust, perfumes and passive smoking. There exists limited evidence that shows
that skin contact with the material is capable either of inducing a
sensitisation reaction in a significant number of individuals, and/or of
producing positive response in experimental animals. Long term exposure to
vapour or dust with inorganic fluorides may result in fluorosis, with rheumatic
symptoms, stiff joints, mottling of tooth enamel. Other signs may include
nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhoea or constipation, weight loss, anaemia,
weakness and general ill-health. Polyuria and polydipsia may also occur.
Exfoliative dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, stomatitis, gastrointestinal and
respiratory allergy, and on occasions, central nervous system involvement have
all been described. Respiratory sensitisation may result in allergic/asthma like
responses; from coughing and minor breathing difficulties to bronchitis with
wheezing, gasping.

OLEYLAMMONIUM CHLORIDE, ETHOXYLATED:
Cationic substances, and their polymers and those polymers that are reasonably
anticipated to become cationic in the natural aquatic environment (pH range 4-9)
may be environmental hazards.
Exempt from this concern are those polymers to be used only in solid phase, such
as ion-exchange resins, and where the FGEW (Functional Group Equivalent Weight)
of cationic groups is not 5000 and above.
Cationic groups such as alkylsulfoniums, alkylphosphoniums and quaternary
ammonium polymers are highly toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms.
Similarly potentially cationic groups such as amines and isocyanates are of
concern. Some cationics, however, may fall into the category of PLCs (polymers
of low concern) provided they possess low charge density, and/or are not
water-soluble or are not self-dispersing polycarboxylates or poly- (aromatic or
aliphatic) sulfonate polymers.
Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
- Recycle wherever possible.
- Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste
management authority for disposal if no suitable treatment or disposal facility
can be identified.
- Treat and neutralise at an approved treatment plant. Treatment should involve:
Neutralisation followed by: Burial in a licenced land-fill or Incineration in a
licenced apparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material)
- Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers
are cleaned and destroyed.
If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure none of the original
product remains or if the container cannot be used to store the same product,
then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.
