EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
CAUTION!
MAY CAUSE EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION.
MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION.
EXPOSURE CAN RESULT IN AN ADVERSE REACTION WITH THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
SEE SECTION 11 FOR INFORMATION ON CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS.
CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL SHOULD BE AVOIDED BEFORE AND AFTER EXPOSURE.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Swallowing
If patient is fully conscious, give two glasses of water. Induce vomiting. 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 heard 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.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
Wear suitable protective equipment., Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Environmental precautions
Prevent from entering sewer system, surface water or soil.
Methods for cleaning up
Observe government regulations.
Small spills: Absorb on inert material such as sand, earth, vermiculite.
Collect for disposal.
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
Thiram USA TLV-TWA 1 ml/m3
Alberta, Canada 1 mg/m3
Quebec, Canada 5 mg/m3
Ethylene glycol USA Ceiling, ACGIH 100 mg/m3 (aerosol)
No other exposure limits have been established
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., Use an approved full-face air-purifying respirator. For emergency and other conditions where the exposure limit may
be greatly exceeded, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus., 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.
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

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.
