If skin or hair contact occurs:- 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.
- 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 sub-chronic and chronic exposures to isocyanates:- This material may be a potent pulmonary sensitiser which causes bronchospasmeven in patients without prior airway hyperreactivity.
- Clinical symptoms of exposure involve mucosal irritation of respiratory andgastrointestinal tracts.
- Conjunctival irritation, skin inflammation (erythema, pain vesiculation) andgastrointestinal disturbances occur soon after exposure.
- Pulmonary symptoms include cough, burning, substernal pain and dyspnoea.
- Some cross-sensitivity occurs between different isocyanates.
- Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and bronchospasm are the most seriousconsequences of exposure. Markedly symptomatic patients should receive oxygen,ventilatory support and an intravenous line.
- Treatment for asthma includes inhaled sympathomimetics (epinephrine[adrenalin], terbutaline) and steroids.
- Activated charcoal (1 g/kg) and a cathartic (sorbitol, magnesium citrate) maybe useful for ingestion.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
- Mydriatics, systemic analgesics and topical antibiotics (Sulamyd) may be usedfor corneal abrasions.
- There is no effective therapy for sensitised workers.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux; Medical Toxicology]NOTE: Isocyanates cause airway restriction in naive individuals with the degreeof response dependant on the concentration and duration of exposure. They inducesmooth muscle contraction which leads to bronchoconstrictive episodes. Acutechanges in lung function, such as decreased FEV1, may not represent sensitivity.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
to produce intoxication and unconsciousness also produces transient liverand kidney toxicity. Neurologic impairment is NOT evident amongstvolunteers inhaling up to 400 ppm though complaints of ocular and upperrespiratory tract irritation occur at 200 ppm for 3 to 5 minutes.
Exposure to xylene at or below the recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is thoughtto minimise the risk of irritant effects and to produce neither significantnarcosis or chronic injury. An earlier skin notation was deleted becausepercutaneous absorption is gradual and protracted and does notsubstantially contribute to the dose received by inhalation.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
- Safety glasses with side shields- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb andconcentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lensor restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. Thisshould include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class ofchemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aidpersonnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should bereadily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigationimmediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should beremoved at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removedin a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDCNIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
- Overalls.
- P.V.C. apron.
- Barrier cream.
- Skin cleansing cream.
- Eye wash unit.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wearapproved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correctfit is essential to ensure adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in somesituations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects followingingestion (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure of animals by atleast one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be keptto a minimum.
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by ECDirectives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfortcharacterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
Skin contact is not thought to produce harmful health effects (as classifiedunder EC Directives using animal models). Systemic harm, however, has beenidentified following exposure of animals by at least one other route and thematerial may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesionsor abrasions. Good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimumand that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to theuse of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified byEC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of the material,especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort andoccasionally, distress.
In addition to producing pulmonary sensitisation, toluene diisocyanate (TDI) isactive in contracting smooth muscle such as that found in the airway. So-calledbronchoconstriction is often mistaken for sensitisation and lung function tests,including measurement of forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and forced vital continued.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
capacity (FCV) may distinguish acute reaction. Severe irritation is produced byinhalation of low vapour concentrations. At 0.02 ppm, TDI does not produceimmediate irritation but this may become apparent after an extended period ofexposure. Symptoms may include a burning sensation, coughing, wheezing,laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting. Overexposure orrepeated exposure may produce bronchial spasm and asthma which may not appearfor several hours. Symptoms may persist for several weeks. Most individualsrecover completely. Both allergy-prone and non allergy-prone individuals maybecome sensitised. Cross-sensitisation to other isocyanates may occur.
Inhalation of vapours, aerosols (mists, fumes) or dusts, generated by thematerial during the course of normal handling, may be harmful.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may leadto narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
Headache, fatigue, tiredness, irritability and digestive disturbances (nausea,loss of appetite and bloating) are the most common symptoms of xyleneoverexposure. Injury to the heart, liver, kidneys and nervous system has alsobeen noted amongst workers. Temporary memory loss, kidney impairment, temporaryconfusion and some evidence of disturbance of liver function was reported inworkers grossly exposed to xylene (1%). One death was noted, with autopsyrevealing lung congestion, oedema and local bleeding of alveoli. Inhaling xyleneat 100 ppm for 5-6 hours can increase reaction time and cause slightinco-ordination. Tolerance developed during the work week, but was lost over theweekend. Physical exercise may reduce tolerance. About 4-8% of total absorbedxylene accumulates in fat.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Persons with a history of asthma or other respiratory problems or are known tobe sensitised, should not be engaged in any work involving the handling ofisocyanates. [CCTRADE-Bayer, APMF]. With most allergens, removal of theoffending material results in resolution of symptoms. Asthma caused by toluenediisocyanate (TDI) continues for months or even years after exposure ceases.
This may be due to a non-allergenic condition called reactive airway dysfunctionsyndrome (RADS). Animal testing with mice has shown commercial grade TDI maycause a range of benign and malignant tumours. Substance accumulation, in thehuman body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-termoccupational exposure. Inhaling this product is more likely to cause asensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population. Thereis some evidence from animal testing that exposure to this material may resultin toxic effects to the unborn baby. Exposure to the material for prolongedperiods may cause physical defects in the developing embryo (teratogenesis).
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment andliver and blood changes. [PATTYS]. Women exposed to xylene in the first 3 monthsof pregnancy showed a slightly increased risk of miscarriage and birth defects.
Evaluation of workers chronically exposed to xylene has demonstrated lack ofgenetic toxicity. Exposure to xylene has been associated with increased rates ofblood cancer, but this may be complicated by exposure to other substances,including benzene. Animal testing found no evidence of cancer-causing activity.
