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.
Eye Contact 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.

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, without delay.

Immediately give a glass of water.

Ingestion 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.

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 simple ketones:
--------------------------------------------------------------
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 pulmonary oedema .
Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.
DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to 200 ml water (5mL/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.
Consider intubation at first sign of upper airway obstruction resulting from oedema.

PRIMING FLUID RED

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.
Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema.
Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids. Fluid overload might create complications.
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.
Consult a toxicologist as necessary.

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.
Appropriate engineering The basic types of engineering controls are:
controls Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
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.

Personal protection

Safety glasses with side shields.

Chemical goggles.
Eye and face protection
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

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 manufacturer. Where
the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material cannot be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior
Hands/feet protection
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.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.

Body protection See Other protection below

Overalls.
PVC Apron.
PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
Eyewash unit.
Other protection ·Some plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g. gloves, aprons, overshoes) are not recommended as they may produce static electricity.
· For large scale or continuous use wear tight-weave non-static clothing (no metallic fasteners, cuffs or pockets).
· Non sparking safety or conductive footwear should be considered. Conductive footwear describes a boot or shoe with a sole made from a conductive
compound chemically bound to the bottom components, for permanent control to electrically ground the foot and shall dissipate static electricity from
the body to reduce the possibility of ignition of volatile compounds.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Information on toxicological effects

The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage.
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.
Acute exposure of humans to high concentrations of methyl ethyl ketone produces irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat. Other effects reported from acute
inhalation exposure in humans include central nervous system depression, headache, and nausea.
Inhaled
Easy odour recognition and irritant properties of methyl ethyl ketone means that high vapour levels are readily detected and should be avoided by application of
control measures; however odour fatigue may occur with loss of warning of exposure.
Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health of the individual.
Ketone vapours irritate the nose, throat and mucous membrane. High concentrations depress the central nervous system, causing headache, vertigo, poor
concentration, sleep and failure of the heart and breathing.

Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis; serious consequences may result. (ICSC13733)
Ingestion The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence.

Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal handling and use.
Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic effects may result following absorption.
There is some evidence to suggest that the material may cause moderate 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.
Skin Contact Dermatitis has been reported in humans following dermal exposure to methyl ethyl ketone. Tests involving acute exposure of rabbits has shown methyl ethyl
ketone to have high acute toxicity from dermal exposure.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Entry into the blood-stream, though, for example, cuts, abrasions 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.

This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.

Eye
The vapour when concentrated has pronounced eye irritation effects and this gives some warning of high vapour concentrations. If eye irritation occurs seek to
reduce exposure with available control measures, or evacuate area.

Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related systemic problems.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritation and possible dermatitis following.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Chronic Limited information is available on the chronic (long-term) effects of methyl ethyl ketone in humans. Chronic inhalation studies in animals have reported slight
neurological, liver, kidney, and respiratory effects. No information is available on the developmental, reproductive, or carcinogenic effects of methyl ethyl ketone
in humans. Developmental effects, including decreased foetal weight and foetal malformations, have been reported in mice and rats exposed to methyl ethyl
ketone via inhalation and ingestion.

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as
reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis
of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes
to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchial hyper reactivity
on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for diagnosis
METHYL ETHYL KETONE of RADS.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, and the production of
vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.
Methyl ethyl ketone is considered to have a low order of toxicity; however methyl ethyl ketone is often used in combination with other solvents and the toxic effects
of the mix may be greater than either solvent alone. Combinations of n-hexane with methyl ethyl ketone and also methyl n-butyl ketone with methyl ethyl ketone
show increase in peripheral neuropathy, a progressive disorder of nerves of extremities.
Combinations with chloroform also show increase in toxicity

Detailed analysis of molecular structure indicates that the azo colourant can split off cancer-causing arylamines.
The azo linkage, a double bond between two nitrogen atoms, is considered the most unstable part of an azo dye.
