Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
?Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
?Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin:
?Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
?Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.
?DO NOT use solvents.
?Seek medical attention in the 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
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].

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.

METHYLATED SPIRITS:
TITANIUM DIOXIDE:
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.

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.
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.
BARIUM SULFATE:
The recommended TLV-TWA is based on satisfactory results achieved while employing an
internal limit for barium nitrate at a national laboratory. It is not known what degree
of added safety this limit incorporates.
Barium sulfate has been identified as a nontoxic dust. However high dust
levels have caused benign pneumoconiosis (baritosis). The TLV-TWA is
thought to be protective against the risk of eye, nose and upper
respiratory tract irritation and perhaps, pneumoconiosis.
N-BUTANOL:
Odour Threshold Value: 0.12-3.4 ppm (detection), 1.0-3.5 ppm (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes for n-butanol, measuring in excess of 5 ppm are
commercially available.
Exposure at or below the TLV-TWA is thought to provide protection against
hearing loss due to vestibular and auditory nerve damage in younger
workers and to protect against the significant risk of headache and
irritation.
25 ppm may produce mild irritation of the respiratory tract
50 ppm may produce headache and vertigo.
Higher concentrations may produce marked irritation, sore throat,
coughing, nausea, shortness of breath, pulmonary injury and central
nervous system depression characterised by headache, dizziness, dullness
and drowsiness.
6000 ppm may produce giddiness, prostration, narcosis, ataxia, and death.
ISOBUTANOL:
Odour Threshold Value: 0.66-40 ppm (detection), 1.8-53 ppm (recognition)
Although there do not appear to be reports of isobutyl alcohol causing
auditory impairment or vestibular damage in humans (as with n-butanol) the
recommended TLV-TWA recognises the slightly greater acute toxic potential
of isobutanol versus n-butanol. Exposure at or below this limit is thought
to significantly reduce the risk of skin irritation.
TALC:
Most health problems associated with occupational exposure to talcs appear
to evolve mostly from the nonplatiform content of the talc being mined or
milled (being the asbestos-like amphiboles, serpentines (asbestiformes)
and other minerals in the form of acicular, prismatic and fibrous
crystals including, possibly, asbestos).
Because of severe health effects associated with exposures to asbestos,
regulatory agencies tend to regard all elongate mineral crystal particles,
whether prismatic, acicular, fibrous, as asbestos - the only provision is
the particles have an aspect ratio (length to diameter) of 3:1 or greater.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Consideration is also given to their respirability, their width being less
than or equal to 3 m. Only limited data, however, exists on the health
effects of elongate mineral particles having prismatic, acicular or fibrous
(non-asbestos) forms. Experimental evidence indicates that the carcinogen
potential of mineral fibres is related to the size class with diameter of
8 m with shorter, thicker particles having little
biological activity.
Dust of nonfibrous talc, consisting entirely of platiform talc crystals
and containing no asbestos poses a relatively small respiratory hazard.
Difficulties exist, however, in the determination of asbestos as
cleavage fragments of prismatic or acicular crystals, nonasbestos fibres
and asbestos fibres are very similar. Subject to an accurate determination
of asbestos and crystalline silica, exposure at or below the recommended
TLV-TWA is thought to protect workers from the significant risk of
nonmalignant respiratory effects associated with talc dusts.
N-BUTYL ACETATE:
Odour Threshold Value: 0.0063 ppm (detection), 0.038-12 ppm (recognition)
Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to prevent
significant irritation of the eyes and respiratory passages as well as
narcotic effects. In light of the lack of substantive evidence regarding
teratogenicity and a review of acute oral data a STEL is considered
inappropriate.
NITROCELLULOSE WITH >25% ALCOHOL, <12.6% NITROGEN:
None assigned. Refer to individual constituents.
nitrocellulose:
None assigned.
methylated spirits, as ethanol:
TLV TWA: 1000 ppm, 1880 mg/m3
ES TWA: 1000 ppm, 1900 mg/m3
METHYL ETHYL KETONE:
Odour Threshold Value: Variously reported as 2 ppm and 4.8 ppm
Odour threshold: 2 ppm (detection); 5 ppm (recognition)
25 ppm (easy recognition); 300 ppm IRRITATING
Exposures at or below the recommended TLV-TWA are thought to prevent injurious
systemic effects and to minimise objections to odour and irritation. Where synergism or
potentiation may occur stringent control of the primary toxin (e.g. n-hexane or methyl
butyl ketone) is desirable and additional consideration should be given to lowering MEK
exposures.
TOLUENE:
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.
Odour Threshold Value: 0.16-6.7 (detection), 1.9-69 (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes measuring in excess of 5 ppm, are available.
High concentrations of toluene in the air produce depression of the
central nervous system (CNS) in humans. Intentional toluene exposure
(glue-sniffing) at maternally-intoxicating concentration has also produced
birth defects. Foetotoxicity appears at levels associated with CNS
narcosis and probably occurs only in those with chronic toluene-induced
kidney failure. Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought
to prevent transient headache and irritation, to provide a measure of
safety for possible disturbances to human reproduction, the prevention of

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].

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Not a likely route of entry into the body in commercial or industrial environments. The
liquid may produce considerable gastrointestinal discomfort and be harmful or toxic if
swallowed. Ingestion may cause nausea, pain and vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by
aspiration can cause inflammation of the lungs, which can lead to death.
EYE
The liquid produces a high level of eye discomfort and is capable of causing pain and
severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possible permanent impairment of
vision, if not promptly and adequately treated.
The vapour is discomforting to the eyes.
The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation. Repeated or
prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
SKIN
The liquid is discomforting to the skin if contact is prolonged and is capable of causing
skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis and the material contains a component that
may be absorbed through the skin.
Bare unprotected skin should not be exposed to this material.
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 accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
INHALED
The vapour is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract and lungs.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
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.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead to
narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of vapour and skin contact with
the material.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver
and blood changes. [PATTYS].
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis following.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.
One ingredient of the product has caused skin sensitisation reactions, shown as localised
reddening and hives, or may produce respiratory sensitisation characterised by asthma
-like symptoms and runny nose.

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.

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH GUIDELINES
Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into consideration
reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for other toxic effects.
Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been suggested as an additional
standard. These have been established after a literature search for reproductive no
-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level
(LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's procedures for risk assessment for hazard
identification and dose-response assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation
of such limits. Uncertainty factors (UFs) have also been incorporated.
Ingredient ORG UF Endpoi CR Adeq
nt TLV
methyl ethyl ketone 590 mg/m3 NA NA NA Yes
toluene 9.6 mg/m3 10 D NA -
These exposure guidelines have been derived from a screening level of risk assessment and
should not be construed as unequivocally safe limits. ORGS represent an 8-hour time
-weighted average unless specified otherwise.
CR = Cancer Risk/10000; UF = Uncertainty factor:
TLV believed to be adequate to protect reproductive health:
LOD: Limit of detection
Toxic endpoints have also been identified as:
D = Developmental; R = Reproductive; TC = Transplacental carcinogen
