SECTION 4 First aid measures

Description of first aid measures

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
Eye Contact 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.
If skin or hair contact occurs:
Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available.
Skin Contact Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre.
Transport to hospital, or doctor.
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.
Inhalation Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes) may cause lung oedema.
Corrosive substances may cause lung damage (e.g. lung oedema, fluid in the lungs).
As this reaction may be delayed up to 24 hours after exposure, affected individuals need complete rest (preferably in semi-
recumbent posture) and must be kept under medical observation even if no symptoms are (yet) manifested.
Before any such manifestation, the administration of a spray containing a dexamethasone derivative or beclomethasone
derivative may be considered.
This must definitely be left to a doctor or person authorised by him/her.
(ICSC13719)
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
Ingestion 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.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

For acute or short term repeated exposures to strong acids:
Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure. Treat with 100% oxygen initially.
Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation is contraindicated by excessive swelling
Intravenous lines should be established immediately in all cases where there is evidence of circulatory compromise.
Strong acids produce a coagulation necrosis characterised by formation of a coagulum (eschar) as a result of the dessicating action of the acid on proteins in
specific tissues.
INGESTION:
Immediate dilution (milk or water) within 30 minutes post ingestion is recommended.
DO NOT attempt to neutralise the acid since exothermic reaction may extend the corrosive injury.
Be careful to avoid further vomit since re-exposure of the mucosa to the acid is harmful. Limit fluids to one or two glasses in an adult.
Charcoal has no place in acid management.
Some authors suggest the use of lavage within 1 hour of ingestion.
SKIN:
Skin lesions require copious saline irrigation. Treat chemical burns as thermal burns with non-adherent gauze and wrapping.
Deep second-degree burns may benefit from topical silver sulfadiazine.
EYE:
Eye injuries require retraction of the eyelids to ensure thorough irrigation of the conjuctival cul-de-sacs. Irrigation should last at least 20-30 minutes. DO NOT
use neutralising agents or any other additives. Several litres of saline are required.
Cycloplegic drops, (1% cyclopentolate for short-term use or 5% homatropine for longer term use) antibiotic drops, vasoconstrictive agents or artificial tears
may be indicated dependent on the severity of the injury.
Steroid eye drops should only be administered with the approval of a consulting ophthalmologist).

Inorganic acids are generally soluble in water with the release of hydrogen ions. The resulting solutions have pH's of less
than 7.0.
Inorganic acids neutralise chemical bases (for example: amines and inorganic hydroxides) to form salts - neutralisation can
generate dangerously large amounts of heat in small spaces.
The dissolution of inorganic acids in water or the dilution of their concentrated solutions with additional water may generate
Storage incompatibility
significant heat.
The addition of water to inorganic acids often generates sufficient heat in the small region of mixing to cause some of the
water to boil explosively. The resulting "bumping" can spatter the acid.
Inorganic acids react with active metals, including such structural metals as aluminum and iron, to release hydrogen, a
flammable gas.

MATERIAL DATA
Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for
these irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every
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.

Exposure controls
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to
provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Appropriate engineering
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
controls
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation
that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if
designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.

Individual protection
measures, such as
personal protective
equipment

Safety glasses with unperforated side shields may be used where continuous eye protection is desirable, as in laboratories;
spectacles are not sufficient where complete eye protection is needed such as when handling bulk-quantities, where there is
a danger of splashing, or if the material may be under pressure.
Chemical goggles. Whenever there is a danger of the material coming in contact with the eyes; goggles must be properly
fitted. [AS/NZS 1337.1, EN166 or national equivalent]
Eye and face protection
Full face shield (20 cm, 8 in minimum) may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes; these
afford face protection.
Alternatively a gas mask may replace splash goggles and face shields.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy
document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task.
Skin protection See Hand protection below

Elbow length PVC gloves

Hands/feet protection
When handling corrosive liquids, wear trousers or overalls outside of boots, to avoid spills entering boots.

Body protection See Other protection below

Overalls.
PVC Apron.
Other protection PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
Eyewash unit.
Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.

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.
Inhaled

Acidic corrosives produce respiratory tract irritation with coughing, choking and mucous membrane damage. Symptoms of
exposure may include dizziness, headache, nausea and weakness. In more severe exposures, pulmonary oedema may be
evident either immediately or after a latent period of 5-72 hours. Symptoms of pulmonary oedema include a tightness in the
chest, dyspnoea, frothy sputum and cyanosis. Examination may reveal hypotension, a weak and rapid pulse and moist rates.
Death, due to anoxia, may occur several hours after onset of the pulmonary oedema.
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.

Ingestion of acidic corrosives may produce circumoral burns with a distinct discolouration of the mucous membranes of the
Ingestion mouth, throat and oesophagus. Immediate pain and difficulties in swallowing and speaking may also be evident. Oedema of the
epiglottis may produce respiratory distress and possibly, asphyxia. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and a pronounced thirst may
occur. More severe exposures may produce a vomitus containing fresh or dark blood and large shreds of mucosa. Shock, with
marked hypotension, weak and rapid pulse, shallow respiration and clammy skin may be symptomatic of the exposure.
Circulatory collapse may, if left untreated, result in renal failure.
Skin contact with acidic corrosives may result in pain and burns; these may be deep with distinct edges and may heal slowly with
the formation of scar tissue.

Skin contact is not thought to produce harmful health effects (as classified under EC Directives using animal models). Systemic
harm, however, has been identified following exposure of animals by at least one other route and the material may still produce
Skin Contact
health damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. Good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a
minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
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.
When applied to the eye(s) of animals, the material produces severe ocular lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more
after instillation.
Direct eye contact with acid corrosives may produce pain, lachrymation, photophobia and burns. Mild burns of the epithelia
Eye
generally recover rapidly and completely. Severe burns produce long-lasting and possible irreversible damage. The appearance
of the burn may not be apparent for several weeks after the initial contact. The cornea may ultimately become deeply
vascularised and opaque resulting in blindness.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to acids may result in the erosion of teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth
and necrosis (rarely) of the jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia may ensue.
Gastrointestinal disturbances may also occur. Chronic exposures may result in dermatitis and/or conjunctivitis.
The impact of inhaled acidic agents on the respiratory tract depends upon a number of interrelated factors. These include
physicochemical characteristics, e.g., gas versus aerosol; particle size (small particles can penetrate deeper into the lung); water
solubility (more soluble agents are more likely to be removed in the nose and mouth). Given the general lack of information on
Chronic
the particle size of aerosols involved in occupational exposures to acids, it is difficult to identify their principal deposition site
within the respiratory tract.
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related systemic
problems.
Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving
organs or biochemical systems.

For diethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers and their acetates:

This category includes diethylene glycol ethyl ether (DGEE), diethylene glycol propyl ether (DGPE) diethylene glycol butyl ether
(DGBE) and diethylene glycol hexyl ether (DGHE) and their acetates.
Acute toxicity: There are adequate oral, inhalation and/or dermal toxicity studies on the category members. Oral LD50 values in
2-(2- rats for all category members are all > 3000 mg/kg bw, with values generally decreasing with increasing molecular weight. Four
butoksyethoxy)ethanol to eight hour acute inhalation toxicity studies were conducted for all category members except DGPE in rats at the highest
vapour concentrations achievable. No lethality was observed for any of these materials under these conditions. Dermal LD50
values in rabbits range from 2000 mg/kg bw (DGHE) to 15000 mg/kg bw (DGEEA). Signs of acute toxicity in rodents are
consistent with non-specific CNS depression typical of organic solvents in general. All category members are slightly irritating to
skin and slightly to moderately irritating to eyes (with the exception of DGHE, which is highly irritating to eyes).
No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.
for acid mists, aerosols, vapours
Data from assays for genotoxic activity in vitro suggest that eukaryotic cells are susceptible to genetic damage when the pH falls
to about 6.5. Cells from the respiratory tract have not been examined in this respect. Mucous secretion may protect the cells of
the airways from direct exposure to inhaled acidic mists, just as mucous plays an important role in protecting the gastric
epithelium from its auto-secreted hydrochloric acid. ln considering whether pH itself induces genotoxic events in vivo in the
respiratory system, comparison should be made with the human stomach, in which gastric juice may be at pH 1-2 under fasting

surface is subjected to the adverse conditions, so that perturbation of intracellular homeostasis may be maintained more readily
than in vitro.
The material may produce severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure, and may produce a contact dermatitis
(nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) thickening of the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Prolonged contact is unlikely, given the severity of response, but repeated exposures may produce severe ulceration.
phosphoric acid ( 85%)
For citric acid (and its inorganic citrate salts)
Based on extensive animal testing data and on human experience, citric acid has low acute toxicity. Citric acid is not suspected
of causing cancer, birth defects or reproductive toxicity. Further, it does not cause mutations. Also, the sensitizing potential is
citric acid considered low. In contrast, irritation, particularly of the eyes but also the airways and the skin, is the main hazard presented by
citric acid.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling,
the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.

citric acid highly irritating compound. Main criteria for diagnosing RADS include the absence of previous airways disease in a non-atopic
individual, with sudden onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
irritant. Other criteria for diagnosis of RADS include a reversible airflow pattern on lung function tests, moderate to severe
bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing, and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without
eosinophilia. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of

SECTION 13 Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty.
Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible.
Otherwise:
If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not remain or if the container cannot be used to
store the same product, then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.
Where possible retain label warnings and SDS and observe all notices pertaining to the product.
Product / Packaging Recycle wherever possible.
disposal Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste management authority for disposal if no suitable
treatment or disposal facility can be identified.
Treat and neutralise at an approved treatment plant. Treatment should involve: Neutralisation with soda-ash or soda-lime
followed by: burial in a land-fill specifically licensed to accept chemical and / or pharmaceutical wastes or Incineration in a
licensed apparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material).
Decontaminate empty containers with 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide or soda ash, followed by water. Observe all label
safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.
