SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures

If this product comes in contact with the eyes:

Wash out immediately with fresh 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
Eye Contact
and lower lids.
Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
If skin contact occurs:
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
Skin Contact
Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
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.
Inhalation
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.
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.
Ingestion
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means should be used if it is
considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these include gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the patient
should be monitored for difficult breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours.
Polyethylene glycols are generally poorly absorbed orally and are mostly unchanged by the kidney.
Dermal absorption can occur across damaged skin (e.g. through burns) leading to increased osmolality, anion gap metabolic acidosis, elevated calcium, low ionised calcium, CNS
depression and renal failure.
Treatment consists of supportive care.

[Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]

To treat poisoning by the higher aliphatic alcohols (up to C7):

Gastric lavage with copious amounts of water.
It may be beneficial to instill 60 ml of mineral oil into the stomach.
Oxygen and artificial respiration as needed.
Electrolyte balance: it may be useful to start 500 ml. M/6 sodium bicarbonate intravenously but maintain a cautious and conservative attitude toward electrolyte replacement
unless shock or severe acidosis threatens.
To protect the liver, maintain carbohydrate intake by intravenous infusions of glucose.
Haemodialysis if coma is deep and persistent. [GOSSELIN, SMITH HODGE: Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products, Ed 5)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC TREATMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.
Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary.
Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.
Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.
Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema.
Anticipate and treat, where necessary, for seizures.
DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to 200 ml water (5 ml/kg recommended) for dilution where patient is able to swallow, has a strong
gag reflex and does not drool.
Give activated charcoal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED TREATMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in unconscious patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred.
Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use.
Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias.
Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers solution. Fluid overload might create complications.
If the patient is hypoglycaemic (decreased or loss of consciousness, tachycardia, pallor, dilated pupils, diaphoresis and/or dextrose strip or glucometer readings below 50 mg),
give 50% dextrose.
Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids. Fluid overload might create complications.
Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema.
Treat seizures with diazepam.
Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Laboratory analysis of complete blood count, serum electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, glucose, urinalysis, baseline for serum aminotransferases (ALT and AST), calcium, phosphorus
and magnesium, may assist in establishing a treatment regime. Other useful analyses include anion and osmolar gaps, arterial blood gases (ABGs), chest radiographs and
electrocardiograph.
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-assisted ventilation may be required for acute parenchymal injury or adult respiratory distress syndrome.
Acidosis may respond to hyperventilation and bicarbonate therapy.
Haemodialysis might be considered in patients with severe intoxication.
Consult a toxicologist as necessary. BRONSTEIN, A.C. and CURRANCE, P.L. EMERGENCY CARE FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EXPOSURE: 2nd Ed. 1994

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
Appropriate engineering be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.
controls The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.

Personal protection

Safety glasses with side shields.

Eye and face protection Chemical goggles.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants.
Skin protection See Hand protection below
Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to
Hands/feet protection manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance
and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and.has to be observed when
making a final choice.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Information on toxicological effects

The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of
vapours, fumes or aerosols, especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and occasionally, distress.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by sleepiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of
co-ordination, and vertigo.
Inhaled Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health
of the individual.
Aliphatic alcohols with more than 3-carbons cause headache, dizziness, drowsiness, muscle weakness and delirium, central depression, coma,
seizures and behavioural changes. Secondary respiratory depression and failure, as well as low blood pressure and irregular heart rhythms, may
follow.
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.
Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis; serious consequences may result.
(ICSC13733)
If swallowed, the toxic effects of glycols (dihydric alcohols) are similar to those of alcohol, with depression of the central nervous system, nausea,
Ingestion
vomiting, and degenerative changes in the liver and kidney.
For ethylene glycol:
Symptoms following swallowing ethylene glycol include failure of breathing, central nervous system depression, cardiovascular collapse, lung
swelling, acute kidney failure, and even brain damage. Swallowing 100 millilitres has caused death.
There are three stages of ethylene glycol poisoning.
Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal handling and use.
Most liquid alcohols appear to act as primary skin irritants in humans. Significant percutaneous absorption occurs in rabbits but not apparently in
man.
Skin Contact
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
There is some evidence to suggest that the material may cause mild but significant inflammation of the skin either following direct contact or after
a delay of some time. Repeated exposure can cause contact dermatitis which is characterised by redness, swelling and blistering.
There is some evidence that material may produce eye irritation in some persons and produce eye damage 24 hours or more after instillation.
Eye
Moderate inflammation may be expected with redness; conjunctivitis may occur with prolonged exposure.
Based on experience with animal studies, exposure to the material may result in toxic effects to the development of the foetus, at levels which do
not cause significant toxic effects to the mother.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Chronic
There is some evidence from animal testing that exposure to this material may result in reduced fertility.
Exposure to ethylene glycol over a period of several weeks may cause throat irritation, mild headache and low backache. These may worsen with
increasing concentration of the substance. They may progress to a burning sensation in the throat, a burning cough, and drowsiness.

ETHYLENE GLYCOL [Estimated Lethal Dose (human) 100 ml; RTECS quoted by Orica] Substance is reproductive effector in rats (birth defects). Mutagenic to rat cells.
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.
DIETHYLENE GLYCOL
Diglycolic acid is formed following the oxidation of accidentally ingested diethylene glycol in the body and can lead to severe complications with
fatal outcome.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ends. This may be due to a non-allergic condition
known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur after exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Main
2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID,
criteria for diagnosing RADS include the absence of previous airways disease in a non-atopic individual, with sudden onset of persistent

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.
Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their
Product / Packaging disposal area. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should be considered first.
