4. First Aid Measures

  • Inhalation:Remove victim to fresh air. If individual experiences nausea, headache, dizziness, has difficulty breathing or is cyanotic, seek immediate medical attention.
  • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If swallowed, call a Physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Rinse mouth with copious amounts of water or milk, and then give 1 or 2 glasses of water. Avoid giving alcohol or alcohol related products. If individual is semi-comatose, do not give fluids by mouth. If product was intentionally ingested in large quantity, take individual to the nearest medical facility.
  • Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Repeat washing. Get medical attention if skin is burned or if irritation persists.
  • Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water or normal saline for 15 minutes. Take exposed individual to a health care professional, preferably an ophthalmologist, for further evaluation.
  • Note to Physician: No specific antidote is known. Treat symptoms.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Important: Before responding to a spill or leak of this product, review each section of the MSDS. Follow recommendations given for Handling, Precautions sections. Check the Fire and Explosion Data section to determine if the use of non-sparking tools is merited. Dike spillage, pump to drums; or collect with absorbent material and place in containers made of tested compatible material (see Section 7). Initially, minimize area affected by the spill or leak. Block any potential routes to water systems (e.g. sewers, streams, lakes, etc.) Based on the product's toxicological and chemical properties, and on the size and location of the spill, assess the impact oon contaminated environments (e.g. water systems, ground, air equipment etc.). There are no methods available to completely eliminate any toxicity this product may have on aquatic environments. Determine if federal, state and local release notification is required (see Regulatory Classification section of MSDS).Recover as much of the pure product as possible into appropriate contained environments. Spill or leak residuals may have to be collected and disposed of. Clay, soil, or commercially available absorbents may be used to recover any material that can not readily be recovered as pure product. Flushing residual material to an industrial sewer, if present at the site of a spill or leak incident may be acceptable, if authorized approval is obtained. If product and/or/spill/leak residuals are flushed to an industrial sewer, insure that they do not come into contact with incompatible materials. Contact person(s) responsible for the operation of your facility's industrial sewer system prior to intentionally flushing or pumping spills or leaks of this product ro the industrial sewer.
Contaminated Materials: Contact a company experienced in industrial waste management to handle disposal of contaminated material.
