WHMIS CLASSIFICATION
This product is registered under the Pest Control Products Act and is therefore exempt from WHMIS
supplier labeling and MSDS requiremements. Please read entire MSDS and product label for safety
precautions.

This product has been classified with the hazard criteria of the CPR, and the MSDS contains all the information required by CPR.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Swallowing
If patient is fully conscious, give two glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center or doctor. Obtain medical attention
immediately. Do not give milk, oily products, fat or alcohol. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Obtain medical attention.
Skin contact
Wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash clothing before re-use. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with water and continue washing for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
Notes to physician
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Eyes, skin, ingestion, inhalation, mist.
If THIRAM is absorbed into the body it may affect the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. Symptoms may include headache, insomnia, and nervous
disorders. In severe cases symptoms may include kidney pain, dizziness, loss of memory and tremors. Alcohol intolerance may result on exposure; symptoms
include flushing of the face and neck, followed by rapid heart beat, nausea, vomiting, headache and low blood pressure.
The principal toxic effects of ethylene glycol, when swallowed, are kidney damage and metabolic acidosis. Ethanol is antidotal, and its early administration may
block the formation of nephrotoxic metabolites of ethylene glycol in the liver. Ethanol should be given intravenously, as a 5% solution in sodium bicarbonate, at a
rate of about 10 ml ethanol per hour. A desired therapeutic level of ethanol in the blood is 100 mg/dl. Hemodialysis may be required. 4-Methylpyrazole, a potent
inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, has been used therapeutically to decrease the metabolic consequences of ethylene glycol poisoning before coma, seizure, and
renal failure have occurred (20 mg/kg/day). Pulmonary edema with hypoxemia has been described in a number of patients following poisoning with ethylene
glycol. The mechanism of production has not been elucidated, but it appears to be noncardiogenic in origin in several cases. Respiratory support with mechanical
ventilation and positive end- expiratory pressure may be required. There may be cranial nerve involvement in the late stages of toxicity from swallowed ethylene
glycol. In particular, effects have been reported involving the seventh, eighth and ninth cranial nerves, presenting with bilateral facial paralysis, diminished
hearing, and dysphagia.

Large spills Dike to contain spill.
Pump excess material into suitable container (metal drums, metal tank, or such).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Handling precautions
Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling., Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing., Avoid breathing vapor, aerosol and mist., Use with adequate ventilation.,
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other precautions
Do not store near food, feed or fertilizers., Do not contaminate ponds, lakes, streams, or any source of water.
STORAGE
Storage requirements
Store in a cool, dry place.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE LIMIT VALUES
Consult local authorities for acceptable provincial values.
Component Country Type Value Remark

Alberta, Canada 1 mg/m3
Quebec, Canada 5 mg/m3
USA Ceiling, ACGIH 100 mg/m3 (aerosol)
Ethylene glycol
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory protection
In the absence of engineering controls sufficient to maintain airborne concentrations below recommended occupational exposure limit values, appropriate
respiratory protection should be utilized., The determination of appropriate respiratory protection is best performed, on a case by case basis, taking into
consideration the exposure conditions of the particular operation.The respirator manufacturer should be consulted to ensure that the air-purifying cartridges utilized

will provide adequate protection for the exposure conditions and period of wear concerned.For emergency conditions where the exposure limit may be greatly
exceeded, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hand protection / protective gloves
Chemical resistant protective gloves
Eye protection
Face shield or chemical splash goggles in case of splashing.
Skin protection
Chemical protective clothing.
Other protective equipment
Eye bath, Safety shower
Industrial hygiene measures
Before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands and face thoroughly with soap and water.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Ventilation
General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be satisfactory., Special, local ventilation is needed at points where vapors can be expected to escape to the
workplace air.
