Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ...
� Seek medical advice.
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 solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin:
� Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
� Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.
� DO NOT use solvents.
� Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.
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.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related
hydrocarbons:
� Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or
inhalation, is respiratory failure.
� Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g.
cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen.
Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm
Hg) should be intubated.
� Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and
electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported;
intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously
symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that
hyperventilation improves clearance.
� A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and
circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
� Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm
because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled
cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred
agents, with aminophylline a second choice.
� Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of
cuffed endotracheal tube in adult patients. [Ellenhorn and 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

IDLH Level: 2500 ppm (lower explosive limit)
MAK Category I Peak Limitation: For local irritants Allows excursions of twice
the MAK value for 5 minutes at a time, 8 times per shift.
MAK Group IIc: Substances with MAK Values but no pregnancy risk group
classification. These are substances which have been investigated but for which
no information regarding possible damage to the foetus/embryo was found. Mention
calls attention to the absence of adequate data.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany
Odour Threshold Value: 3.6 ppm (detection), 699 ppm (recognition)
Saturation vapour concentration: 237000 ppm @ 20 C
NOTE: Detector tubes measuring in excess of 40 ppm, are available.
Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to protect the
worker against mild irritation associated with brief exposures and the
bioaccumulation, chronic irritation of the respiratory tract and headaches
associated with long-term acetone exposures. The NIOSH REL-TWA is
substantially lower and has taken into account slight irritation
experienced by volunteer subjects at 300 ppm. Mild irritation to
acclimatised workers begins at about 750 ppm - unacclimatised subjects
will experience irritation at about 350-500 ppm but acclimatisation can
occur rapidly. Disagreement between the peak bodies is based largely on
the view by ACGIH that widespread use of acetone, without evidence of
significant adverse health effects at higher concentrations, allows
acceptance of a higher limit.

Half-life of acetone in blood is 3 hours which means that no adjustment
for shift-length has to be made with reference to the standard 8 hour/day,
40 hours per week because body clearance occurs within any shift with low
potential for accumulation.
A STEL has been established to prevent excursions of acetone vapours that
could cause depression of the central nervous system.

IDLH Level: 40000 ppm
NOTE: Detector tubes for carbon dioxide, measuring in excess of 0.01 % vol.,
are commercially available. Long-term measurements (4 hrs) may be
conducted to detect concentrations exceeding 250 ppm.
Studies using physically fit males in confined spaces indicate the TLV-TWA
and STEL provides a wide margin of safety against asphyxiation and from
undue metabolic stress, provided normal amounts of oxygen are present in
inhaled air. Lowered oxygen content, increased physical activity and
prolonged exposures each impact on systemic and respiratory effects.
Stimulation of the respiratory centre is produced at 50,000 ppm (5%). The
gas is weakly narcotic at 30,000 ppm giving rise to reduced acuity of
hearing and increasing blood pressure and pulse, Persons exposed at
20,000 ppm for several hours developed headaches and dyspnea on mild
exertion, Acidosis and adrenal cortical exhaustion occurred as a result
of prolonged continuous exposure at 10,000-20,0000 ppm.
Intoxication occurs after a 30 minute exposure at 50,000 ppm whilst
exposure at 70,000-100,000 ppm produces unconsciousness within a few
minutes.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to
obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed
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.
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

3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood - local control only

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.

In air, acetone is lost by photolysis and reaction with photochemically
produced hydroxyl radicals; the estimated half-life of these combined
processes is about 22 days. The relatively long half-life allows acetone
to be transported long distances from its emission source.
Acetone is highly soluble and slightly persistent in water, with a
half-life of about 20 hours; it is minimally toxic to aquatic life.
Acetone released to soil volatilises although some may leach into the
ground where it rapidly biodegrades.
Acetone does not concentrate in the food chain.
