SWALLOWED
鈥? For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
鈥? Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
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? Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
EYE
鈥? If product comes in contact with eyes remove the patient from gas source or
contaminated area.
鈥? Take the patient to the nearest eye wash, shower or other source of clean
water.
鈥? Open the eyelid(s) wide to allow the material to evaporate.
鈥? Gently rinse the affected eye(s) with clean, cool water for at least 15
minutes. Have the patient lie or sit down and tilt the head back. Hold the
eyelid(s) open and pour water slowly over the eyeball(s) at the inner corners,
letting the water run out of the outer corners.
鈥? The patient may be in great pain and wish to keep the eyes closed. It is
important that the material is rinsed from the eyes to prevent further damage.
鈥? Ensure that the patient looks up, and side to side as the eye is rinsed in
order to better reach all parts of the eye(s)
鈥? Transport to hospital or doctor.

where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
For frost-bite caused by liquefied petroleum gas:
鈥? If part has not thawed, place in warm water bath (41-46 C) for 15-20 minutes,
until the skin turns pink or red.
鈥? Analgesia may be necessary while thawing.
鈥? If there has been a massive exposure, the general body temperature must be
depressed, and the patient must be immediately rewarmed by whole-body immersion,
in a bath at the above temperature.
鈥? Shock may occur during rewarming.
鈥? Administer tetanus toxoid booster after hospitalization.
鈥? Prophylactic antibiotics may be useful.
鈥? The patient may require anticoagulants and oxygen.

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 115 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ...
SKIN
Vapourising liquid causes rapid cooling and contact may cause cold burns,
frostbite.
INHALED
Material is highly volatile and may quickly form a concentrated atmosphere in
confined or unventilated areas. Vapour is heavier than air and may displace and
replace air in breathing zone, acting as a simple asphyxiant. This may happen
with little warning of overexposure.
Symptoms of asphyxia (suffocation) may include headache, dizziness, shortness of
breath, muscular weakness, drowsiness and ringing in the ears. If the asphyxia
is allowed to progress, there may be nausea and vomiting, further physical
weakness and unconsciousness and, finally, convulsions, coma and death.
Significant concentrations of the non-toxic gas reduce the oxygen level in the
air. As the amount of oxygen is reduced from 21 to 14 volume %, the pulse rate
accelerates and the rate and volume of breathing increase. The ability to
maintain attention and think clearly is diminished and muscular coordination is
somewhat disturbed. As oxygen decreases from 14-10% judgement becomes faulty;
severe injuries may cause no pain. Muscular exertion leads to rapid fatigue.
Further reduction to 6% may produce nausea and vomiting and the ability to move
may be lost. Permanent brain damage may result even after resuscitation at
exposures to this lower oxygen level. Below 6% breathing is in gasps and
convulsions may occur. Inhalation of a mixture containing no oxygen may result
in unconsciousness from the first breath and death will follow in a few minutes.
Other symptoms of overexposure include anaesthetic effects.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of the gas and skin
contact with liquid. 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 defatting which produces localised dermatoses.
Surface cracking and erosion may also increase susceptibility to infection by
microorganisms. One epidemiological study of petroleum refinery workers has
reported elevations in standard mortality ratios for skin cancer along with a
dose-response relationship indicating an association between routine workplace
exposure to petroleum or one of its constituents and skin cancer, particularly
melanoma. Other studies have been unable to confirm this finding.
