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.

EYE

If this product comes in contact with the eyes:

· Wash out immediately 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.

· 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.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN

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].

PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR SPILL

From IERG (Canada/Australia)
Isolation Distance            25 metres
Downwind Protection Distance  300 metres
IERG Number                   14

 

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 128 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.
6  IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.

INGREDIENT DATA

ALKYD RESIN SOLUTION:
   No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.

MINERAL TURPENTINE:
   CEL TWA: 80 ppm, 480 mg/m3      [Shell]

AROMATIC SOLVENT 100:
   CEL TWA: 50 ppm, 250 mg/m3 as total hydrocarbons             [Manufacturer]

TITANIUM DIOXIDE:
   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 Specified
(P.N.O.S) does NOT apply.
   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.
   WARNING: This substance has been classified by the IARC as Group 2B: Possibly
Carcinogenic to Humans.
   IDLH Level: 5000 mg/m3
   Animal studies at 10 mg/m3 show no significant fibrosis, possibly reversible
   tissue reaction and the architecture of lung air spaces remains intact.

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.
· PVC Apron.
· PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
· Eyewash unit.
· Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.

RESPIRATOR

Respiratory protection may be required when ANY "Worst Case" vapour-phase concentration
is exceeded (see Computer Prediction in "Exposure Standards").

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

For flammable liquids and flammable gases, local exhaust ventilation or a process
enclosure ventilation system may be required. Ventilation equipment should be explosion
-resistant.
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., evaporating from tank (in still air). 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of active generation) 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air motion) 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture 1: Disturbing room air currents
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only. 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood-local control only
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.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.
As absorption of phosphates from the bowel is poor, poisoning this way is less likely.
Effects can include vomiting, tiredness, fever, diarrhoea, low blood pressure, slow pulse
, cyanosis, spasms of the wrist, coma and severe body spasms.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments. The liquid
may produce gastrointestinal discomfort and may be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may
result in nausea, pain and vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by aspiration may cause
potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.

EYE

Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),
direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or
conjunctival redness (as with windburn).

SKIN

This material can cause inflammation of the skin on
contact in some persons.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC
Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds,
lesions or abrasions.
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 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.
There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory irritation in
some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage.
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.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead to
narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but there is
not enough data to make an assessment.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
There is some evidence from animal testing that exposure to this material may result in
toxic effects to the unborn baby.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver
and blood changes. [PATTYS].
Sodium phosphate dibasic can cause stones in the kidney, loss of mineral from the bones
and loss of thyroid gland function.

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Marine Pollutant:Not Determined

Drinking Water Standards:
hydrocarbon total: 10 ug/l (UK max.).
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.
Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below
the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing
of equipment wash-waters.
Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste
sites.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
Refer to data for ingredients, which follows:

MINERAL TURPENTINE:
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.

ZINC PHOSPHATE:
The material is classified as an ecotoxin* because the Fish LC50 (96 hours) is less than
or equal to 0.1 mg/l
