Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
Not considered a normal route of entry.
If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down,
lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus.
鈥? If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
鈥? If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
鈥? Observe the patient carefully.
鈥? Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
鈥? Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
鈥? Seek medical advice.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
EYE
If aerosols come in contact with the eyes:
鈥? Immediately hold the eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously for at least
15 minutes with fresh running water.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
鈥? 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:
鈥? Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
鈥? Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALED
If aerosols, fumes or combustion products are inhaled:
鈥? Remove to fresh air.
鈥? Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
鈥? Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
鈥? If breathing is shallow or has stopped, ensure clear airway and apply
resuscitation, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask
device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to acetone:
鈥? Symptoms of acetone exposure approximate ethanol intoxication.
鈥? About 20% is expired by the lungs and the rest is metabolised. Alveolar air
half-life is about 4 hours following two hour inhalation at levels near the
Exposure Standard; in overdose, saturable metabolism and limited clearance,
prolong the elimination half-life to 25-30 hours.
鈥? There are no known antidotes and treatment should involve the usual methods of
decontamination followed by supportive care.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]
Management:
Measurement of serum and urine acetone concentrations may be useful to monitor
the severity of ingestion or inhalation.
Inhalation Management:
鈥? Maintain a clear airway, give humidified oxygen and ventilate if necessary.
鈥? If respiratory irritation occurs, assess respiratory function and, if
necessary, perform chest X-rays to check for chemical pneumonitis.
鈥? Consider the use of steroids to reduce the inflammatory response.
鈥? Treat pulmonary oedema with PEEP or CPAP ventilation.
Dermal Management:
鈥? Remove any remaining contaminated clothing, place in double sealed, clear
bags, label and store in secure area away from patients and staff.
鈥? Irrigate with copious amounts of water.
鈥? An emollient may be required.
Eye Management:
鈥? Irrigate thoroughly with running water or saline for 15 minutes.
鈥? Stain with fluorescein and refer to an ophthalmologist if there is any uptake
of the stain.
Oral Management:
鈥? No GASTRIC LAVAGE OR EMETIC
鈥? Encourage oral fluids.
Systemic Management:
鈥? Monitor blood glucose and arterial pH.
鈥? Ventilate if respiratory depression occurs.
鈥? If patient unconscious, monitor renal function.
鈥? Symptomatic and supportive care.

NS: Non-specific determinant; also observed after exposure to other material.
Following acute or short term repeated exposures to n-hexane:
鈥? Large quantities of n-hexane are expired by the lungs after vapour exposure
(50-60%). Humans exposed to 100 ppm demonstrate an n-hexane biological half life
of 2 hours.
鈥? Initial attention should be directed towards evaluation and support of
respiration. Cardiac dysrhythmias are a potential complication.
INGESTION:
鈥? Ipecac syrup should be considered for ingestion of pure hexane exceeding
2-3ml/kg. Extreme caution must be taken to avoid aspiration since small amounts
of n-hexane intratracheally, produce a severe chemical pneumonitis.

From IERG (Canada/Australia)
Isolation Distance -
Downwind Protection Distance 8 metres
IERG Number 49
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
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 126 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH GUIDELINES
Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into
consideration reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for
other toxic effects. Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been
suggested as an additional standard. These have been established after a
literature search for the reproductive no-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL)
and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's
procedures for risk assessment for hazard identification and dose-response
assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation of such limits.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to protect the
worker against mild irritation associated with brief exposures and the
bioaccumulation, chronic irritation of the respiratory tract and headaches
associated with long-term acetone exposures. The NIOSH REL-TWA is
substantially lower and has taken into account slight irritation
experienced by volunteer subjects at 300 ppm. Mild irritation to
acclimatised workers begins at about 750 ppm - unacclimatised subjects
will experience irritation at about 350-500 ppm but acclimatisation can
occur rapidly. Disagreement between the peak bodies is based largely on
the view by ACGIH that widespread use of acetone, without evidence of
significant adverse health effects at higher concentrations, allows
acceptance of a higher limit.
Half-life of acetone in blood is 3 hours which means that no adjustment
for shift-length has to be made with reference to the standard 8 hour/day,
40 hours per week because body clearance occurs within any shift with low
potential for accumulation.
A STEL has been established to prevent excursions of acetone vapours that
could cause depression of the central nervous system.

Allows excursions of 2 times the MAK value, for 30 minutes (on average), four
times per shift.
MAK Group C: There is no reason to fear risk of damage to the developing embryo
when MAK and BAT values are observed.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany.
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
Odour Threshold Value: 65 ppm
IDLH Level: 1100 ppm (lower explosive limit)
NOTE: Detector tubes for n-hexane, measuring in excess of 100 ppm, are
available commercially.
Occupational polyneuropathy may result from exposures as low as 500 ppm
(as hexane), whilst nearly continuous exposures of 250 ppm have caused
neurotoxic effects in animals. Many literature reports have failed to
distinguish hexane from n-hexane and on the assumption that the
commercial hexane contains 30% n-hexane, a worst case recommendation for
TLV is assumed to reduce the risk of peripheral neuropathies (due to the
metabolites 2,5-heptanedione and 3,6-octanedione) and other adverse
neuropathic effects.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the
individual.
Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of
chemical pneumonitis; serious consequences may result. (ICSC13733).
EYE
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
Direct eye contact with petroleum hydrocarbons can be painful, and the corneal
epithelium may be temporarily damaged. Aromatic species can cause irritation and
excessive tear secretion.
SKIN
Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic
effects may result following absorption.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
Spray mist may produce discomfort.
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 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.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
INHALED
Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material
during the course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health of the
individual.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be
accompanied by narcosis, drowsiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack
of coordination and vertigo.
Inhalation of high concentrations of gas/vapour causes lung irritation with
coughing and nausea, central nervous depression with headache and dizziness,
slowing of reflexes, fatigue and inco-ordination.
Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include general discomfort, symptoms
of giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects, slowed reaction
time, slurred speech and may progress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may
result in respiratory depression and may be fatal.
WARNING:Intentional misuse by concentrating/inhaling contents may be lethal.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal route of occupational exposure to the gas is by inhalation. Substance
accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated
or long-term occupational exposure. Ample evidence from experiments exists that there is a
suspicion this material directly reduces fertility. Workers exposed to acetone for long
periods showed inflammation of the airways, stomach and small bowel, attacks of giddiness
and loss of strength. Exposure to acetone may enhance the liver toxicity of chlorinated
solvents. Chronic inhalation or skin exposure to n-hexane may cause damage to nerve ends
in extremities, e.g. finger, toes with loss of sensation. Symptoms can progress for months
even after removal of exposure, and recovery may take years and may not be complete.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver and
blood changes. [PATTYS].
