HEALTH HAZARD
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The liquid is discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and is harmful if
swallowed
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments
Soluble zinc salts produces irritation and corrosion of the alimentary tract
(in a manner similar to copper salts) with pain, vomiting, etc. Delayed deaths
have been ascribed to inanition (weakness and extreme weight loss resulting
from prolonged and severe food insufficiency) following severe strictures of
the oesophagus, and pylorus.
EYE
The liquid is discomforting to the eyes and capable of causing a mild,
temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary
impairment of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration
The vapour is mildly discomforting to the eyes
The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
SKIN
The material is mildly discomforting and it is rapidly absorbed by the skin
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption
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.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure
and
may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is
often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
(spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
INHALED
The vapour/mist is moderately discomforting to the upper respiratory tract
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by eye contact , skin
contact/absorption and inhalation of vapour/spray mist
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.
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting
FIRST AID
SWALLOWED
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
Immediately hold the eyes open and wash continuously for at least 15
minutes
with fresh 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.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If this product comes in contact with the skin:
Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety
shower if available.
Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
Wash affected areas with water (and soap if available) for at least 15 minutes.
Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled: Remove to fresh air.
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
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.
Transport to hospital, or doctor.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
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]
Absorption of zinc compounds occurs in the small intestine.
The metal is heavily protein bound.
Elimination results primarily from faecal excretion
The usual measures for decontamination (Ipecac Syrup, lavage,
charcoal or
cathartics) may be administered, although patients usually have
sufficient
vomiting not to require them.
CaNa2EDTA has been used successfully to normalise zinc levels and is
the agent
of choice.

INGREDIENT DATA
ZINC NAPHTHENATE:
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m鲁 (Value for particulate matter containing no
asbestos and <1% crystalline
silica,Inhalable fraction) [ACGIH]
TLV TWA: 3 mg/m鲁 (Value for particulate matter containing no
asbestos and <1% crystalline
silica,Respirable fraction) [ACGIH]
Dusts not otherwise classified, as inspirable dust;
ES TWA: 10 mg/m鲁
Particulate (insoluble or poorly soluble *) Not .Otherwise
Specified (P.N.O.C)
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m鲁 Inhalable particulate
TLV TWA: 3 mg/m鲁 Respirable particulate
OEL-Sweden, United Kingdom: 10 mg/m鲁 total dust, 5 mg/m鲁
respirable dust
These "dusts" have little adverse effect on the lungs and do not
produce toxic
effects or organic disease. Although there is no dust which does
not evoke some
cellular response at sufficiently high concentrations, the
cellular response
caused by P.N.O.C.s has the following characteristics:
the architecture of the air spaces remain intact,
scar tissue (collagen) is not synthesised to any degree,
tissue reaction is potentially reversible.
Extensive concentrations of P.N.O.C.s may:
seriously reduce visibility,
cause unpleasant deposits in the eyes, ears and nasal passages,
contribute to skin or mucous membrane injury by chemical or
mechanical action,
per se, or by the rigorous skin cleansing procedures necessary for
their
removal. [ACGIH]
This limit does not apply:
to brief exposures to higher concentrations
nor does it apply to those substances that may cause physiological
impairment
at lower concentrations but for which a TLV has as yet to be
determined.
This exposure standard applies to particles which
are insoluble or poorly soluble* in water (or, preferably, in
aqueous lung
fluid (if data is available) and
have a low toxicity (i.e.. are not cytotoxic, genotoxic, or
otherwise
chemically reactive with lung tissue, and do not emit ionizing
radiation, cause
immune sensitization, or cause toxic effects other than by
inflammation or by a
mechanism of lung overload)
* Notice of intended change
PERMETHRIN:
It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs
(or their
equivalent) for all substances for which there is evidence of
health effects at
airborne concentrations encountered in the workplace.
At this time no TLV has been established, even though this
material may produce
adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or
clinical
experience). Airborne concentrations must be maintained as low as
is
practically possible and occupational exposure must be kept to a
minimum.
NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not
Otherwise
Classified (P.N.O.C,s) does NOT apply.
LINSEED OIL:
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m鲁 [ACGIH]
PEL Total dust: 15 [OSHA Z1]
PEL Respirable fraction : 5 [OSHA Z1]
vegetable oil mists (except castor, cashew nut and similar
irritant oils)
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m鲁
ES TWA: 10 mg/m鲁
OSHA PEL TWA: 15 mg/m鲁, total particulate; 5 mg/m鲁, 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.
PARAFFIN WAX:
It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs
(or their
equivalent) for all substances for which there is evidence of
health effects at

At this time no TLV has been established, even though this
material may produce
adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or
clinical

TURPENTINE SUBSTITUTE:
PEL TWA: 100 ppm, 400 mg/m鲁 [OSHA Z1]
CEL TWA: 100 ppm, 450 mg/m鲁
[Manufacturer]
rubber solvent (naphtha) (CAS RN: 8030-30-6)
Mean Molecular weight is 97
TLV TWA: 400 ppm
Naphtha solvents of this type produce central nervous system
depression and
irritation of the respiratory tract.
for petroleum distillates:
CEL TWA: 500 ppm, 2000 mg/m鲁 (compare OSHA TWA)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local
exhaust
ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of
overexposure
exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain
adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed
storage areas.
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 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
shallow 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
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
Safety glasses with side shields
Chemical goggles.
Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb
irritants and all
lenses concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber
OTHER
Overalls.
Barrier cream
Eyewash unit.
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.
