4. FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION:
IF ADVERSE EFFECTS OCCUR, REMOVE TO UNCONTAMINATED AREA. GIVE ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION IF NOT BREATHING. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, OXYGEN SHOULD BE
ADMINISTERED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

SKIN CONTACT:

CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THOROUGHLY
CLEAN AND DRY CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES BEFORE REUSE. DESTROY
CONTAMINATED SHOES.

EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. THEN GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

INGESTION:
IF SWALLOWED, DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
FOR INHALATION, CONSIDER OXYGEN. AVOID GASTRIC LAVAGE OR EMESIS.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

SLIGHT FIRE HAZARD
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
CARBON DIOXIDE, REGULAR DRY CHEMICAL, REGULAR FOAM, WATER

FIREFIGHTING:
MOVE CONTAINER FROM FIRE AREA IF IT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT RISK. COOL CONTAINERS
WITH WATER SPRAY UNTIL WELL AFTER THE FIRE IS OUT. DO NOT GET WATER DIRECTLY
ON MATERIAL. AVOID INHALATION OF MATERIAL OR COMBUSTION BY-PRODUCTS. STAY
UPWIND AND KEEP OUT OF LOW AREAS.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

DO NOT TOUCH SPILLED MATERIAL. STOP LEAK IF POSSIBLE WITHOUT PERSONAL RISK.
SMALL SPILLS: ABSORB WITH SAND OR OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. SMALL DRY
SPILLS: COLLECT SPILLED MATERIAL IN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. KEEP
UNNESSARY PEOPLE AWAY, ISOLATE HAZARD AREA AND DENY ENTRY. NOTIFY LOCAL
EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE AND STATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE COMMISSION FOR
RELEASE GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO RQ(U.S. SARA SECTION 304). IF RELEASE OCCURS
IN THE U.S. AND IS REPORTABLE UNDER CERCLA SECTION 103, NOTIFY THE NATIONAL

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

BLACK LIQUOR SOAP:

DUE TO THE HIGH pH OF THIS PRODUCT, LARGE SPILLS MAY PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT
TOXCITY TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS. LARGE SPILLS OR CONCENTRATED DISCHARGES OF THIS
PRODUCT TO WATER MAY RESULT IN SUSPENDED OR SETTLEABLE SOLIDS WHICH LOWER THE
DISSOLVED OXYGEN CONTENT OF THE WATER BODY. SEDIMENTATION TO THE BOTTOM OF A
BODY OF WATER MAY RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS TO FISH LIFE BY REDUCING THEIR
GROWTH RATE, PREVENTING THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF FISH EGGS AND LARVAE, OR
REDUCING THE ABUNDANCE OF FOOD AVAILABLE TO FISH.
