Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
?Respiratory stress is uncommon but present occasionally because of soft tissue
edema.
?Unless endotracheal intubation can be accomplished under direct vision,
cricothyroidotomy or tracheotomy may be necessary.
?Oxygen is given as indicated.
?The presence of shock suggests perforation and mandates an intravenous line
and fluid administration.
?Damage due to alkaline corrosives occurs by liquefaction necrosis whereby the
saponification of fats and solubilisation of proteins allow deep penetration
into the tissue.
Alkalis continue to cause damage after exposure.
INGESTION:
?Milk and water are the preferred diluents
No more than 2 glasses of water should be given to an adult.
?Neutralising agents should never be given since exothermic heat reaction may
compound injury.
* Catharsis and emesis are absolutely contra-indicated.
* Activated charcoal does not absorb alkali.
* Gastric lavage should not be used.
Supportive care involves the following:
?Withhold oral feedings initially.
?If endoscopy confirms transmucosal injury start steroids only within the first
48 hours.
?Carefully evaluate the amount of tissue necrosis before assessing the need for
surgical intervention.
?Patients should be instructed to seek medical attention whenever they develop
difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).
SKIN AND EYE:
?Injury should be irrigated for 20-30 minutes.
Eye injuries require saline. [Ellenhorn & 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.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Odour Threshold Value: 0.060 ppm (detection)
IDLH Level: 250 ppm
NOTE: Detector tubes for phenol, measuring in excess of 1 ppm, are
commercially available.
Systemic absorption by all routes may induce convulsions with damage to
the lungs and central nervous system.
Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to protect the
worker from respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal and neurological
toxicity. Workers or volunteers exposed at or below 5.2 ppm have
experienced no ill-effects. Because phenol as a vapour, liquid or solid
can penetrate the skin causing systemic effects, a skin notation is
considered necessary. Although ACGIH has not recommended a STEL it is felt
that ACGIH excursion limits (15 ppm limited to a total duration of 30
minutes with brief excursions limited to no more than 25 ppm) and NIOSH
Ceiling values are sufficiently similar so as to provide the same margin
of safety.

NOTE: As a series of factors will influence the actual performance of the glove,
a final selection must be based on detailed observation. -
* Where the glove is to be used on a short term, casual or infrequent basis,
factors such as "feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability), may dictate a choice
of gloves which might otherwise be unsuitable following long-term or frequent

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation may be required in special circumstances. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear approved respirator. Supplied-air type respirator may be required
in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouses and enclosed 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.

solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min)

Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

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.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and
gastrointestinal tract following ingestion.
Aliphatic and alicyclic amines are generally well absorbed from the gut.
Corrosive action may cause tissue damage throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
Detoxification is thought to occur in the liver, kidney and intestinal mucosa
with the enzymes, monoamine oxidase and diamine oxidase (histaminase) having a
significant role.
Ingestion of amine epoxy-curing agents (hardeners) may cause severe abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. The vomitus may contain blood and mucous.
If death does not occur within 24 hours there may be an improvement in the
patients condition for 2-4 days only to be followed by the sudden onset of
abdominal pain, board-like abdominal rigidity or hypo-tension; this indicates
that delayed gastric or oesophageal corrosive damage has occurred.
EYE
The material can produce chemical burns to the eye following direct contact.
Vapours or mists may be extremely irritating.
Vapours of volatile amines cause eye irritation with lachrymation,
conjunctivitis and minor transient corneal oedema which results in "halos"
around lights (glaucopsia). This effect disappears spontaneously within a few
hours of the end of exposure, and does not produce physiological after-effects.
Although no detriment to the eye occurs as such, glaucopsia predisposes an
affected individual to physical accidents and reduces the ability to undertake
skilled tasks such as driving a vehicle.
Direct local contact with the liquid may produce eye damage which may be
permanent in the case of the lower molecular weight species.
SKIN
The material can produce chemical burns following direct contact with the skin.
Volatile amine vapours produce primary skin irritation and dermatitis. Direct
local contact, with the lower molecular weight liquids, may produce skin burns.
Percutaneous absorption of simple aliphatic amines is known to produce lethal
effects often the same as that for oral administration. Cutaneous sensitisation
has been recorded chiefly due to ethyleneamines. Histamine release following
exposure to many aliphatic amines may result in "triple response" (white
vasoconstriction, red flare and wheal) in human skin.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Inhalation of amine vapours may cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
nose and throat and lung irritation with respiratory distress and cough. Single
exposures to near lethal concentrations and repeated exposures to sublethal
concentrations produces tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonitis and pulmonary
oedema. Aliphatic and alicyclic amines are generally well absorbed from the
respiratory tract. Systemic effects include headache, nausea, faintness and
anxiety. These effects are thought to be transient and are probably related to
the pharmacodynamic action of the amines. Histamine release by aliphatic amines
may produce bronchoconstriction and wheezing.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Repeated or prolonged exposure to corrosives may result in the erosion of teeth,
inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth and necrosis (rarely) of the
jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial
pneumonia may ensue. Gastrointestinal disturbances may also occur. Chronic
exposures may result in dermatitis and/or conjunctivitis. Practical experience
shows that skin contact with the material is capable either of inducing a
sensitisation reaction in a substantial number of individuals, and/or of
producing a positive response in experimental animals. Sensitisation may result
in allergic dermatitis responses including rash, itching, hives or swelling of
extremities. Sensitisation may give severe responses to very low levels of
exposure, in situations where exposure may occur. Inhalation of epoxy resin
amine hardener vapours (including polyamines and amine adducts) may produce
bronchospasm and coughing episodes lasting days after cessation of the exposure.
Even faint traces of these vapours may trigger an intense reaction in
individuals showing "amine asthma". The literature records several instances of
systemic intoxications following the use of amines in epoxy resin systems.
