Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
- For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
- Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
- If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
- If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
- Observe the patient carefully.
- Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
- Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
- Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
- Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
- Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
- Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
- Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
- Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
- Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
For acute or short-term repeated exposures to highly alkaline materials:
- 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]

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine
the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information
consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational
Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear
approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct
fit is essential to ensure adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some
situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. 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.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)
evaporating from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers,
welding, spray drift, plating acid
fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
high speed wheel generated dusts
(released at high initial velocity into
zone of very high rapid air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use

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
SKIN
The material can produce chemical burns following direct contact with the skin.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions 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
Inhalation of dusts, generated by the material during the course of normal
handling, may be damaging to the health of the individual.
Evidence shows, or practical experience predicts, that the material produces
irritation of the respiratory system, in a substantial 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.
Effects on lungs are significantly enhanced in the presence of respirable
particles. Overexposure to respirable dust may produce wheezing, coughing and
breathing difficulties leading to or symptomatic of impaired respiratory
function.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Repeated exposures, in an occupational setting, to high levels of fine- divided dusts may
produce a condition known as pneumoconiosis which is the lodgement of any inhaled dusts in
the lung irrespective of the effect. This is particularly true when a significant number
of particles less than 0.5 microns (1/50,000 inch), are present. Lung shadows are seen in
the X-ray. Symptoms of pneumoconiosis may include a progressive dry cough, shortness of
breath on exertion, increased chest expansion, weakness and weight loss. As the disease
progresses the cough produces a stringy mucous, vital capacity decreases further and
shortness of breath becomes more severe. Pneumoconiosis is the accumulation of dusts in
the lungs and the tissue reaction in its presence. It is further classified as being of
noncollagenous or collagenous types. Noncollagenous pneumoconiosis, the benign form, is
identified by minimal stromal reaction, consists mainly of reticulin fibres, an intact
alveolar architecture and is potentially reversible. Limited evidence shows that
inhalation of the material is capable of inducing a sensitisation reaction in a
significant number of individuals at a greater frequency than would be expected from the
response of a normal population. Pulmonary sensitisation, resulting in hyperactive airway
dysfunction and pulmonary allergy may be accompanied by fatigue, malaise and aching.
Significant symptoms of exposure may persist for extended periods, even after exposure
ceases. Symptoms can be activated by a variety of nonspecific environmental stimuli such
as automobile exhaust, perfumes and passive smoking. . There exists limited evidence that
shows that skin contact with the material is capable either of inducing a sensitisation
reaction in a significant number of individuals, and/or of producing positive response in
experimental animals. Respiratory sensitisation may result in allergic/asthma like
responses; from coughing and minor breathing difficulties to bronchitis with wheezing,
gasping.
