TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Extremely flammable. | NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. | Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. | Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. Use non-sparking handtools. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! | ||
| Inhalation | Cough. Sore throat. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. | |
| Eyes | Wear safety spectacles. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. | |
| Ingestion | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | ||

| NOTES |
|
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found. Card has been partially updated in February 2009: see Occupational Exposure Limits, Packaging & labelling. |
