Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
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.
Odour Threshold Value for epichlorohydrin: 0.08 ppm
NOTE: Detector tubes for epichlorohydrin, measuring in excess of 5 ppm, are commercially available.
Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to minimise the potential for adverse respiratory,
liver, kidney effects. Epichlorohydrin has been implicated as a human skin sensitiser, hence individuals who
are hypersusceptible or otherwise unusually responsive to certain chemicals may NOT be adequately protected
from adverse health effects.
Odour Safety Factor(OSF)
OSF=0.54 (EPICHLOROHYDRIN).
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
?Safety glasses with side shields.
?Chemical goggles.
?Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A
written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each
workplace or task. This should include a 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].
HANDS/FEET
?Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
?Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
NOTE:
?The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing
gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
?Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
?frequency and duration of contact,
?chemical resistance of glove material,
?glove thickness and
?dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
?When handling liquid-grade epoxy resins wear chemically protective gloves (e.g nitrile or nitrile-
butatoluene rubber), boots and aprons.
?DO NOT use cotton or leather (which absorb and concentrate the resin), polyvinyl chloride, rubber or
polyethylene gloves (which absorb the resin).
?DO NOT use barrier creams containing emulsified fats and oils as these may absorb the resin; silicone-

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
?Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less
than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.
EYE
?Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause eye irritation in a
substantial number of individuals and/or may produce significant ocular lesions which are present twenty-four
hours or more after instillation into the eye(s) of experimental animals. Repeated or prolonged eye contact
may cause inflammation characterised by a temporary redness (similar to windburn) of the conjunctiva
(conjunctivitis); temporary impairment of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may occur.
SKIN
?Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may result following absorption.
?Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material either produces inflammation of the
skin in a substantial number of individuals following direct contact, and/or produces significant
inflammation when applied to the healthy intact skin of animals, for up to four hours, such inflammation
being present twenty-four hours or more after the end of the exposure period. Skin irritation may also be
present after prolonged or repeated exposure; this may result in a form of contact dermatitis (nonallergic).
The dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which may progress to
blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of the epidermis. At the microscopic level there may be
intercellular oedema of the spongy layer of the skin (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
?The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
?Entry into the blood-stream through, for example, cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds or lesions, may produce
systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any
external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
?Limited evidence or practical experience suggests that the material may produce irritation of the
respiratory system, in a significant number of individuals, following inhalation. In contrast to most organs,
the lung is able to respond to a chemical insult by first removing or neutralising the irritant and then
repairing the damage. The repair process, which initially evolved to protect mammalian lungs from foreign
matter and antigens, may however, produce further lung damage resulting in the impairment of gas exchange,
the primary function of the lungs. Respiratory tract irritation often results in an inflammatory response
involving the recruitment and activation of many cell types, mainly derived from the vascular system.
?Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may
be harmful.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
?Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to
the general population.
There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but there is not enough data to
make an assessment.
There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some
persons compared to the general population.
Based on experience with similar materials, there is a possibility that exposure to the material may reduce
fertility in humans at levels which do not cause other toxic effects.
Glycidyl ethers can cause genetic damage and cancer.
Sensitisation may give severe responses to very low levels of exposure, i.e. hypersensitivity. Sensitised
persons should not be allowed to work in situations where exposure may occur.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
?unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
?Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's
oedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the
delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune
reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitisation potential:
the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equally important. A weakly
sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with stronger
sensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances
are noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.

Oxiranes (including glycidyl ethers and alkyl oxides, and epoxides) exhibit many common characteristics with
respect to animal toxicology. One such oxirane is ethyloxirane; data presented here may be taken as
representative.
for 1,2-butylene oxide (ethyloxirane):
Ethyloxirane increased the incidence of tumours of the respiratory system in male and female rats exposed via
inhalation. Significant increases in nasal papillary adenomas and combined alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas and
carcinomas were observed in male rats exposed to 1200 mg/m3 ethyloxirane via inhalation for 103 weeks. There
was also a significant positive trend in the incidence of combined alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas and
carcinomas. Nasal papillary adenomas were also observed in 2/50 high-dose female rats with none occurring in
control or low-dose animals. In mice exposed chronically via inhalation, one male mouse developed a squamous
cell papilloma in the nasal cavity (300 mg/m3) but other tumours were not observed. Tumours were not observed
in mice exposed chronically via dermal exposure. When trichloroethylene containing 0.8% ethyloxirane was
administered orally to mice for up to 35 weeks, followed by 0.4% from weeks 40 to 69, squamous-cell
carcinomas of the forestomach occurred in 3/49 males (p=0.029, age-adjusted) and 1/48 females at week 106.
Trichloroethylene administered alone did not induce these tumours and they were not observed in control
animals . Two structurally related substances, oxirane (ethylene oxide) and methyloxirane (propylene oxide),
which are also direct-acting alkylating agents, have been classified as carcinogenic.

?Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below the mean high
water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment wash-waters.
Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste sites.
?Significant environmental findings are limited. Oxiranes (including glycidyl ethers and alkyl oxides, and
epoxides) exhibit common characteristics with respect to environmental fate and ecotoxicology. One such
oxirane is ethyloxirane and data presented here may be taken as representative.
?for 1,2-butylene oxide (ethyloxirane):
Environmental fate: Ethyloxirane is highly soluble in water and has a very low soil-adsorption coefficient,
which suggests that if released to water, adsorption of ethyloxirane to sediment and suspended solids is not
expected. Volatilisation of ethyloxirane from water surfaces would be expected based on the moderate
estimated Henry's Law constant. If ethyloxirane is released to soil, it is expected to have low adsorption
and thus very high mobility. Volatilisation from moist soil and dry soil surfaces is expected, based on its
vapour pressure. It is expected that ethyloxirane exists solely as a vapour in ambient atmosphere, based on
its very high vapour pressure. Ethyloxirane may also be removed from the atmosphere by wet deposition
processes, considering its relatively high water solubility.
Persistence: The half-life in air is about 5.6 days from the reaction of ethyloxirane with photochemically
produced hydroxyl radicals which indicates that this chemical meets the persistence criterion in air (half-
life of = 2 days)*.
Ethyloxirane is hydrolysable, with a half-life of 6.5 days, and biodegradable up to 100% degradation and is
not expected to persist in water. A further model-predicted biodegradation half-life of 15 days in water
obtained and used to predict the half-life of this chemical in soil and sediment by applying Boethling's
extrapolation factors ( t1/2water : t1/2 soil : t1/2sediment = 1: 1: 4 ) (Boethling 1995). According to these
values, it can be concluded that ethyloxirane does not meet the persistence criteria in water and soil (half-
lives = 182 days) and sediments (half-life = 365 days).
Experimental and modelled log Kow values of 0.68 and 0.86, respectively, indicate that the potential for
bioaccumulation of ethyloxirane in organisms is likely to be low. Modelled bioaccumulation -factor (BAF) and
bioconcentration -factor (BCF) values of 1 to 17 L/kg indicate that ethyloxirane does not meet the
bioaccumulation criteria (BCF/BAF = 5000)*
Ecotoxicity:
Experimental ecotoxicological data for ethyloxirane (OECD 2001) indicate low to moderate toxicity to aquatic
organisms. For fish and water flea, acute LC50/EC50 values vary within a narrow range of 70-215 mg/L; for
algae, toxicity values exceed 500 mg/L, while for bacteria they are close to 5000 mg/L
