Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SWALLOWED
• 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:
• Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with 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.
• Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
• Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
• 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

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

• 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.
• Other measures are usually unnecessary.

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]

IERG Number 47

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

Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
• Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
• Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.

TLV TWA: 10 ppm, 52 mg/m³; STEL: 15 ppm, 79 mg/m³ A4 (skin)
NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as
causing Cancer in humans
ES TWA: 10 ppm, 52 mg/m³; STEL: 15 ppm, 79 mg/m³
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.
MAK IIIB: Substances suspected of having carcinogenic potential
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany
TRK: 10 ml/m³; 50 mg/m³
The technical exposure limit, TRK (Technische Richtkonzentrationen), defines the
airborne concentration of named carcinogenic materials which is the minimum
possible given the state of current technologies. TRK values are assigned only
for materials for which there is no current MAK (German exposure standard).
Observance of the TRK value is intended to reduce the risk of adverse effects on
health but does NOT completely eliminate it. Since no threshold doses can be
determined for carcinogens, health considerations require that the exposure
limits be kept as far as possible below the TRK and that the TRK value be
gradually reduced. The limitation of exposure peaks is regulated as follows;
Short-term exposure limit: 5 x TRK
Short-term exposure duration: 15 min/average
Frequency per work shift: 5 times
Interval: 1 hour
Report No. 35 1999, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
Odour Threshold Value: 0.038 ppm
IDLH Level: 250 ppm
The TLV-TWA is thought to be low enough to prevent ocular toxicity but the
margin of safety associated with the TLV for hypersusceptible individuals
(with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase defective erythrocytes) to
naphthalene-induced blood dyscracias is unknown. Individual sensitivity to
inhaled naphthalene-induced haemotoxicity varies greatly with even small
doses producing acute haemolysis in some.

ES TWA: 25 ppm, 125 mg/m³
OES TWA: 25 ppm, 125 mg/m³
Odour Threshold: 0.55 ppm.
Trimethylbenzene is an eye, nose and respiratory irritant. High
concentrations cause central nervous system depression. Exposed workers
show CNS changes, asthmatic bronchitis and blood dyscrasias at 60 ppm. The
TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against the significant risk of CNS
excitation, asthmatic bronchitis and blood dyscrasias associated with
exposures above the limit.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

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
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear SAA 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 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.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED
Harmful if swallowed.
Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of
chemical pneumonitis; serious consequences may result. (ICSC13733)
Ingestion of petroleum hydrocarbons can irritate the pharynx, oesophagus,
stomach and small intestine, and cause swellings and ulcers of the mucous.
Symptoms include a burning mouth and throat; larger amounts can cause nausea and
vomiting, narcosis, weakness, dizziness, slow and shallow breathing, abdominal
swelling, unconsciousness and convulsions. Damage to the heart muscle can
produce heart beat irregularities, ventricular fibrillation (fatal) and ECG
changes. The central nervous system can be depressed. Light species can cause a
sharp tingling of the tongue and cause loss of sensation there. Aspiration can
cause cough, gagging, pneumonia with swelling and bleeding.

EYE
This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
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
Harmful in contact with skin.
This material can cause inflammation of the skin on
contact in some persons.
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
Harmful by inhalation.
If inhaled, this material can irritate the throat and
lungs of some persons.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

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.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure. There is limited evidence that, skin contact
with this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons
compared to the general population. Constant or exposure over long periods to mixed
hydrocarbons may produce stupor with dizziness, weakness and visual disturbance, weight
loss and anaemia, and reduced liver and kidney function. Skin exposure may result in
drying and cracking and redness of the skin. Chronic exposure to lighter hydrocarbons can
cause nerve damage, peripheral neuropathy, bone marrow dysfunction and psychiatric
disorders as well as damage the liver and kidneys.
