4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Never give fluids or induce vomiting if patient is unconscious or is having
convulsions.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician. The decision of whether to induce
vomiting or not should be made by a physician.
Eye Contact
Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after

Obtain medical attention without delay, preferably from an ophthalmologist.
Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and
water, and launder clothing before re-use or dispose of properly.
Consult a physician if irritation develops.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. Consult a physician.
Note to Physician
This material contains a solvent. If lavage is performed, suggest
endotracheal and/or oesophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be
weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach.
Supportive care. Treatment based on judgement of physician in response to
symptoms of patient.

NAPHTHALENE:
IRELAND: Irish 8-hour OEL Time-weighted average (TWA) is 50 mg/m3 (10 ppm).
Irish 15-minute OEL (STEL) is 75 mg/m3 (15 ppm).
Engineering Controls
Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions.
Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Respiratory Protection
For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed. When
airborne exposure guidelines and/or comfort levels may be exceeded, use an
approved air-purifying respirator. For emergency conditions, use an approved
positive-pressure self- contained breathing apparatus.
Hand/Skin Protection
For brief contact, no precautions other than clean body-covering clothing
and chemical resistant gloves should be needed. Use chemical resistant
gloves classified under standard EN 374: Protective gloves against chemicals
and micro-organisms. Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include:
Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl").
Nitrile. Neoprene.
Avoid gloves made of: Natural rubber ("latex").
When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a
protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes
according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a
glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater
than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended.
NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and
duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all requisite
workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be
handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal
protection), as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the
glove supplier.
For emergency conditions: Use protective clothing impervious to this
material. Selection of specific items will depend on operation.
Eye/Face Protection
Use chemical goggles.
