SECTION 4 First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Eye Contact
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
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.
Skin Contact
If skin contact occurs:
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
Inhalation
If fumes, aerosols or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Other measures are usually unnecessary.
Ingestion
Immediately give a glass of water.
First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of
vomitus.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
See Section 11
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.
For petroleum distillates
·
In case of ingestion, gastric lavage with activated charcoal can be used promptly to prevent absorption - decontamination (induced emesis or lavage) is controversial and
should be considered on the merits of each individual case; of course the usual precautions of an endotracheal tube should be considered prior to lavage, to prevent
aspiration.
·
Individuals intoxicated by petroleum distillates should be hospitalized immediately, with acute and continuing attention to neurologic and cardiopulmonary function.
·
Positive pressure ventilation may be necessary.
·
Acute central nervous system signs and symptoms may result from large ingestions of aspiration-induced hypoxia.
·
After the initial episode,individuals should be followed for changes in blood variables and the delayed appearance of pulmonary oedema and chemical pneumonitis. Such
patients should be followed for several days or weeks for delayed effects, including bone marrow toxicity, hepatic and renal impairment Individuals with chronic pulmonary
disease will be more seriously impaired, and recovery from inhalation exposure may be complicated.
·
Gastrointestinal symptoms are usually minor and pathological changes of the liver and kidneys are reported to be uncommon in acute intoxications.
·
Chlorinated and non-chlorinated hydrocarbons may sensitize the heart to epinephrine and other circulating catecholamines so that arrhythmias may occur.Careful
consideration of this potential adverse effect should precede administration of epinephrine or other cardiac stimulants and the selection of bronchodilators.

For acute or short term repeated exposures to iron and its derivatives:
Always treat symptoms rather than history.
In general, however, toxic doses exceed 20 mg/kg of ingested material (as elemental iron) with lethal doses exceeding 180 mg/kg.
Control of iron stores depend on variation in absorption rather than excretion. Absorption occurs through aspiration, ingestion and burned skin.
Hepatic damage may progress to failure with hypoprothrombinaemia and hypoglycaemia. Hepatorenal syndrome may occur.
Iron intoxication may also result in decreased cardiac output and increased cardiac pooling which subsequently produces hypotension.
Serum iron should be analysed in symptomatic patients. Serum iron levels (2-4 hrs post-ingestion) greater that 100 ug/dL indicate poisoning with levels, in excess of 350 ug/dL,
being potentially serious. Emesis or lavage (for obtunded patients with no gag reflex)are the usual means of decontamination.
Activated charcoal does not effectively bind iron.
Catharsis (using sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate) may only be used if the patient already has diarrhoea.
Deferoxamine is a specific chelator of ferric (3+) iron and is currently the antidote of choice. It should be administered parenterally. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]
SECTION 5 Fire-fighting measures

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters
Fire Fighting
Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
May be violently or explosively reactive.
Fire/Explosion Hazard
Liquid and vapour are flammable.
Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
