Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
■ - Not considered a normal route of entry.
■ - For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
■ - Avoid giving milk or oils.
■ - Avoid giving alcohol.
EYE
■ If aerosols come in contact with the eyes:
- Immediately hold the eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously for at least 15 minutes 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 and lower
lids.
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.
INHALED
■ If aerosols, fumes or combustion products are inhaled:
- Remove to fresh air.
- Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
■ for intoxication due to Freons/ Halons;
A: Emergency and Supportive Measures
- Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary
- Treat coma and arrhythmias if they occur. Avoid (adrenaline) epinephrine or other sympathomimetic amines that may precipitate ventricular
arrhythmias. Tachyarrhythmias caused by increased myocardial sensitisation may be treated with propranolol, 1-2 mg IV or esmolol 25-100
microgm/kg/min IV.
Followed acute or short term repeated exposures to ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers and their acetates:
- Hepatic metabolism produces ethylene glycol as a metabolite.
- Clinical presentation, following severe intoxication, resembles that of ethylene glycol exposures.
Treat symptomatically.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to ethylene glycol:
- Early treatment of ingestion is important. Ensure emesis is satisfactory.
- Test and correct for metabolic acidosis and hypocalcaemia.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
■ SMALL FIRE: Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire.
LARGE FIRE: Cool cylinder.
SMALL FIRE:
- Water spray, dry chemical or CO2
LARGE FIRE:
- Water spray or fog.
FIRE FIGHTING
■ - Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- May be violently or explosively reactive.
When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire,
consider evacuation by 100 metres in all directions.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
■ - Non combustible.
- Not considered to be a significant fire risk.
Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen chloride, phosgene, hydrogen fluoride, other pyrolysis
products typical of burning organic material.
Contains low boiling substance: Closed containers may rupture due to pressure buildup under fire conditions.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
■ - Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result.
