NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means. • In the mean time, qualified first-aid personnel should treat the patientfollowing observation and employing supportive measures as indicated by thepatient's condition. • If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available,the patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the MSDS should beprovided. Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist. • If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send thepatient to a hospital together with a copy of the MSDS.
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:• Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with runningwater. • Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away fromeye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. • Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or adoctor, 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 byskilled personnel.
If skin or hair contact occurs:• Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safetyshower if available. • Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. • Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water untiladvised 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 valveresuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR ifnecessary. • Transport to hospital, or doctor. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or relatedhydrocarbons:• Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/orinhalation, is respiratory failure. • Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mmHg) should be intubated. • Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation andelectrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported;intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviouslysymptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so thathyperventilation improves clearance. • A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing andcirculation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax. • Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasmbecause of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines.

cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferredagents, with aminophylline a second choice. • Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use ofcuffed endotracheal tube in adult patients. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: MedicalToxicology]For acute or short term repeated exposures to organic tin compounds:• Severe exposure results in tinnitus, deafness, memory loss, psychosis, coma,disorientation and respiratory depression after a latent period of 1-3 days. • Permanent neurologic sequelae include extrapyramidal hyperkinesia. • The material produces erythmetous skin lesions. • Management is primarily supportive. • British Anti-Lewisite and d-penacillamine are not effective as chelators. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]

From IERG (Canada/Australia)Isolation Distance
FOOTNOTES1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk of harmful exposure. This zone assumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on either side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equal to the downwind protective action distance. 2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spill and working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level of vapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated and unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects. 3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a high probability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to life-threatening concentrations of the material. 4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican or box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from a small cylinder are also considered "small spills". LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of greater than 200 litres, such as a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder. 5 Guide 131 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book. 6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from theopening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with thesquare of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore theair speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, afterreference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at theextraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) forextraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extractionpoint. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits withinthe extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities aremultiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed orused.

In soil and water degradation rapid:DT50 in soil <38 days (pH 4.2-7.7 o.m. 1.3-51.3%)Synthetic pyrethroids are examples of optimised insecticidal activity,selectivity and tailored environmental persistence. Through modifications ofboth acid and alcohol portions of the ester, compounds of desired residualactivity have been synthesised whilst maintaining a biodegradable ester linkage. These compounds are generally very toxic to crustaceans and fish in laboratorybioassays. Under field conditions, however, the residues are tightly bound insediment, and ingested residues are readily metabolised. Their toxicity innatural systems are generally less than laboratory test data might indicate. They are generally non-persistent in the environment.
Pyrethrins are generally unstable in the presence of light, are hydrolysedrapidly under alkaline conditions and oxidise rapidly in air. Vapour phasepyrethrins may combine chemically with ozone to produce hydroxy radicals.
Because agricultural dose rates are low and biological degradation is generallyrapid, residues are unlikely to attain significant levels. Permethrin disappearsfrom ponds and streams within 6-24 hours, pond sediments within 7 days andfoliage and forest soil within 58 days. Pyrethroids are highly toxic to fish;the bioaccumulation factor of cypermethrin in fish is approximately 1000 whenmeasured experimentally, although the potential for significant toxicity is notreached in fields. Under aerobic conditions in soil, permethrin degrades in arelatively short time (half-life 28 days).
