Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ...
NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means.
鈥? In the mean time, qualified first-aid personnel should treat the patient
following observation and employing supportive measures as indicated by the
patient's condition.
鈥? If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available,
the patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the MSDS should be
provided. Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist.
鈥? If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send the
patient to a hospital together with a copy of the MSDS.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
鈥? Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with 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? Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
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 skin or hair contact occurs:
鈥? Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety
shower if available.
鈥? Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
鈥? Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until
advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
鈥? If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
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? 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
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related
hydrocarbons:
鈥? Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or
inhalation, is respiratory failure.
鈥? 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.
鈥? 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.
鈥? A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and
circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
鈥? Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm
because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled

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.

IDLH Level: 25 mg/m鲁 (as Sn)
The no/lowest-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAELs or LOAELs) in inhalation
studies involving tri-n-butyltin chloride and bromide are 0.3-0.4 ppm (2-4
mg/m鲁) based on changes in the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, nervous system and
reproductive system in rodents. Oral administration of organotin compounds has
induced toxicity in a number of differing organ systems, organs and lungs. The
LOAEL for triethyltin bromide was 0.4 mg triethyltin/kg/day as 5 ppm in drinking
water. The LOAELs for the most critical organ sites in rats (i.e. the cellular
immune response and CNS effects) are 0.15 and 0.23 mg/tin/kg body weight/day.

organic tin. The recommended TLV-TWA is thought to minimise the potential for
adverse effects on immune function and the central nervous system. A STEL is
also recommended to minimise acute symptoms such as eye and respiratory tract
irritation, headaches and/or nausea. Based on an exposure to 0.1 mg/m鲁, a 70-kg
worker breathing 10 m3 of air/8hr workday and assuming complete retention of the
inhaled dose, would receive a daily exposure of 14.3 ug tin/kg body weight of an

potential danger of enhanced absorption due to damaged skin present in many
exposed workers.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION ...
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities
which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air
required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min)
evaporating from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers,
welding, spray drift, plating acid
fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
high speed wheel generated dusts
(released at high initial velocity into
zone of very high rapid air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for
extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction
point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or
used.
In confined spaces where there is inadequate ventilation, wear full-face air
supplied breathing apparatus

In soil and water degradation rapid:
DT50 in soil <38 days (pH 4.2-7.7 o.m. 1.3-51.3%)
Synthetic pyrethroids are examples of optimised insecticidal activity,
selectivity and tailored environmental persistence. Through modifications of
both acid and alcohol portions of the ester, compounds of desired residual
activity have been synthesised whilst maintaining a biodegradable ester linkage.
These compounds are generally very toxic to crustaceans and fish in laboratory
bioassays. Under field conditions, however, the residues are tightly bound in
sediment, and ingested residues are readily metabolised. Their toxicity in
natural systems are generally less than laboratory test data might indicate.
They are generally non-persistent in the environment.
Pyrethrins are generally unstable in the presence of light, are hydrolysed
rapidly under alkaline conditions and oxidise rapidly in air. Vapour phase
pyrethrins may combine chemically with ozone to produce hydroxy radicals.
Because agricultural dose rates are low and biological degradation is generally
rapid, residues are unlikely to attain significant levels. Permethrin disappears
from ponds and streams within 6-24 hours, pond sediments within 7 days and
foliage and forest soil within 58 days. Pyrethroids are highly toxic to fish;
the bioaccumulation factor of cypermethrin in fish is approximately 1000 when
measured experimentally, although the potential for significant toxicity is not
reached in fields. Under aerobic conditions in soil, permethrin degrades in a
relatively short time (half-life 28 days).
