3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
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.
AVOID DISPERSION OF DUST IN AIR TO REDUCE POTENTIAL FOR DUST IGNITION/EXPLOSIONS.
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:
Skin

Ingestion
Inhalation
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.

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.
