Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than
their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus.
- 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.
- Seek medical advice.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
EYE
- If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
- Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor,
or for at least 15 minutes.
- 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.
- If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
- 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.
- 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.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should
not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means should be used if it
is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these include gastric lavage
after endotracheal intubation. If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the
patient should be monitored for difficult breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration
into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours.
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; 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 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
The product contains a substantial proportion of water, therefore there are no
restrictions on the type of extinguishing media which may be used. Choice of
extinguishing media should take into account surrounding areas.
Though the material is non-combustible, evaporation of water from the mixture, caused by
the heat of nearby fire, may produce floating layers of combustible substances.
In such an event consider:
- foam
- dry chemical powder
- carbon dioxide.
FIRE FIGHTING
- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus.
- Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.
- Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
- Avoid spraying water onto liquid pools.
- DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot.
- Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
- If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Combustible.

MATERIAL DATA
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:
- cause inflammation
- cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
- lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
- permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
- acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus
increasing the risk of overexposure.

INGREDIENT DATA
SOLVENT NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, MEDIUM ALIPHATIC:
REL TWA: 110 ppm [Manufacturer]
CEL TWA: 110 ppm, 500 mg/m3
POLYGLYCEROL OLEATE:
vegetable oil mists (except castor, cashew nut and similar irritant oils)
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m3
ES TWA: 10 mg/m3
OSHA PEL TWA: 15 mg/m3, total particulate; 5 mg/m3, respirable particulate
The common vegetable oil mists are considered "nuisance" particulates which have
little adverse effect on the lung. They do not produce toxic effects or significant
organic disease when exposures are kept under reasonable control. Direct instillation of
vegetable oils into rabbit lungs produces acute bronchitis whilst high oral doses are
laxatives.
WATER:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.
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
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
- 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.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- P.V.C. apron.
- Barrier cream.
- Skin cleansing cream.
- Eye wash unit.
RESPIRATOR
Respiratory protection may be required when ANY "Worst Case" vapour-phase concentration
is exceeded (see Computer Prediction in "Exposure Standards").

CARE: Use of a quantity of this material in confined space or poorly ventilated area,
where rapid build up of concentrated atmosphere may occur, could require increased
ventilation and/or protective gear.
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved
respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Supplied-air type
respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure
adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some situations.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical
pneumonitis; serious consequences may result.
(ICSC13733).
Ingestion of petroleum hydrocarbons may produce irritation of the pharynx, oesophagus,
stomach and small intestine with oedema and mucosal ulceration resulting; symptoms
include a burning sensation in the mouth and throat. Large amounts may produce narcosis
with nausea and vomiting, weakness or dizziness, slow and shallow respiration, swelling
of the abdomen, unconsciousness and convulsions. Myocardial injury may produce
arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation and electrocardiographic changes. Central nervous
system depression may also occur. Light aromatic hydrocarbons produce a warm, sharp,
tingling sensation on contact with taste buds and may anaesthetise the tongue. Aspiration
into the lungs may produce coughing, gagging and a chemical pneumonitis with pulmonary
oedema and haemorrhage.
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
Petroleum hydrocarbons may produce pain after direct contact with the eyes. Slight, but
transient disturbances of the corneal epithelium may also result. The aromatic fraction
may produce irritation and lachrymation.
Some nonionic surfactants may produce a localised anaesthetic effect on the cornea; this
may effectively eliminate the warning discomfort produced by other substances and lead to
corneal injury. Irritant effects range from minimal to severe dependent on the nature of
the surfactant, its concentration and the duration of contact. Pain and corneal damage
represent the most severe manifestation of irritation.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
SKIN
Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic effects
may result following absorption.
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.
INHALED
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Acute effects from inhalation of high concentrations of vapour are pulmonary irritation,
including coughing, with nausea; central nervous system depression - characterised by
headache and dizziness, increased reaction time, fatigue and loss of co-ordination.
High inhaled concentrations of mixed hydrocarbons may produce narcosis characterised by
nausea, vomiting and lightheadedness. Inhalation of aerosols may produce severe pulmonary
oedema, pneumonitis and pulmonary haemorrhage. Inhalation of petroleum hydrocarbons
consisting substantially of low molecular weight species (typically C2-C12) may produce
irritation of mucous membranes, incoordination, giddiness, nausea, vertigo, confusion,
headache, appetite loss, drowsiness, tremors and anaesthetic stupor. Massive exposures
may produce central nervous system depression with sudden collapse and deep coma;
fatalities have been recorded. Irritation of the brain and/or apnoeic anoxia may produce
convulsions. Although recovery following overexposure is generally complete, cerebral
micro-haemorrhage of focal post-inflammatory scarring may produce epileptiform seizures
some months after the exposure. Pulmonary episodes may include chemical pneumonitis with
oedema and haemorrhage. The lighter hydrocarbons may produce kidney and neurotoxic
effects. Pulmonary irritancy increases with carbon chain length for paraffins and
olefins. Alkenes produce pulmonary oedema at high concentrations. Liquid paraffins may
produce anaesthesia and depressant actions leading to weakness, dizziness, slow and
shallow respiration, unconsciousness, convulsions and death. C5-7 paraffins may also
produce polyneuropathy. Aromatic hydrocarbons accumulate in lipid rich tissues (typically
the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves) and may produce functional impairment
manifested by nonspecific symptoms such as nausea, weakness, fatigue and vertigo; severe
exposures may produce inebriation or unconsciousness. Many of the petroleum hydrocarbons
are cardiac sensitisers and may cause ventricular fibrillations.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
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.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment
and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS].
Repeated or prolonged exposure to mixed hydrocarbons may produce narcosis with dizziness,
weakness, irritability, concentration and/or memory loss, tremor in the fingers and
tongue, vertigo, olfactory disorders, constriction of visual field, paraesthesias of the
extremities, weight loss and anaemia and degenerative changes in the liver and kidney.
Chronic exposure by petroleum workers, to the lighter hydrocarbons, has been associated
with visual disturbances, damage to the central nervous system, peripheral neuropathies
(including numbness and paraesthesias), psychological and neurophysiological deficits,
bone marrow toxicities (including hypoplasia possibly due to benzene) and hepatic and
renal involvement. Chronic dermal exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons may result in

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The lower molecular weight hydrocarbons are expected to form a "slick" on the surface of
waters after release in calm sea conditions. This is expected to evaporate and enter the
atmosphere where it will be degraded through reaction with hydroxy radicals.
Some of the material will become associated with benthic sediments, and it is likely to
be spread over a fairly wide area of sea floor. Marine sediments may be either aerobic or
anaerobic. The material, in probability, is biodegradable, under aerobic conditions
(isomerised olefins and alkenes show variable results). Evidence also suggests that the
hydrocarbons may be degradable under anaerobic conditions although such degradation in
benthic sediments may be a relatively slow process.
Under aerobic conditions the material will degrade to water and carbon dioxide, while
under anaerobic processes it will produce water, methane and carbon dioxide.
Based on test results, as well as theoretical considerations, the potential for
bioaccumulation may be high. Toxic effects are often observed in species such as blue
mussel, daphnia, freshwater green algae, marine copepods and amphipods.
