SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR A SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SHOULD BE CHOSEN BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE SURROUNDING FIRE. COOL FIRE-
EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY TO PREVENT BURSTING. USE CARE AS SPILLS MAY BE SLIPPERY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
PROLONGED CONTACT WITH REACTIVE METALS, SUCH AS ALUMINUM, BRASS, BRONZE, CHROMIUM, MAGNESIUM,
TIN, ZINC, AND ALLOYS, CAN CAUSE THE FORMATION OF FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS WHICH CAN FORM AN
EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE WITH AIR.

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
- ACUTE - (SHORT TERM EXPOSURE)
EYE CONTACT: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION SEEN AS TEARING, SWELLING, STINGING, REDNESS, EXCESSIVE
BLINKING, AND A BURNING SENSATION. MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS AND CORNEAL DAMAGE.
SKIN CONTACT: CAUSES SEVERE IRRRITATION SEEN AS ITCHING, REDNESS, AND BURNS. PRODUCT CAN BE
ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN WITH SYMPTOMS SEEN AS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, BLOOD
ABNORMALITIES, KIDNEY AND LIVER DAMAGE.
INHALATION: MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION SEEN AS COUGHING AND SNEEZING. AT HIGH VAPOR
CONCENTRATIONS, INHALATION MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS SUCH AS HEADACHE,
DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, WEAKNESS, UNCONCIOUSNESS, STAGGERING GAIT, TREMORS, STUTTERING, SLURRED
SPEECH, BLURRED VISION, APATHY, AND POSSIBLE ANESTHETIC EFFECTS FROM CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
DEPRESSION.
INGESTION: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION WITH POSSIBLE DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, WEAKNESS, THIRST, NAUSEA,
VOMITING, AND DIARRHEA. MAY CAUSE A BURNING SENSATION IN THE MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, AND
STOMACH. INGESTION OF LARGE AMOUNTS MAY CAUSE CNS EFFECTS SIMILAR TO INHALATION, METABOLIC
ACIDOSIS, SUBSEQUENT SECONDARY EFFECTS SUCH AS HEMOLYSIS, BLOOD ABNORMALITIES, LIVER AND KIDNEY
EFFECTS, AND COMA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- CHRONIC - (LONG TERM EXPOSURE)
PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE SWELLING AND TISSUE DESTRUCTION. UPON REPEATED OR PROLONGED
CONTACT, THIS PRODUCT MAY BE ABSORBED IN TOXIC AMOUNTS CAUSING BLOOD AND LIVER ABNORMALITIES,
KIDNEY, LUNG, SPLEEN, AND TESTES DAMAGE, WEIGHT LOSS, AND ANOREXIA. EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF VAPORS
MAY CAUSE THE PRESENCE OF BLOOD IN THE URINE. INGESTION MAY BE HARMFUL WITH SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO
INTOXICATION, THE SEVERITY OF WHICH DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT INGESTED. MEDICAL CONDITIONS
AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE ARE PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY AND SKIN CONDITIONS SUCH AS ASTHMA,
EMPHYSEMA, AND DERMATITIS; PRE-EXISTING BLOOD, LIVER, LUNGS, KIDNEYS, SPLEEN, AND TESTES DISEASES.
TARGET ORGANS: BLOOD, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, LIVER, LUNGS, KIDNEYS, SPLEEN, AND TESTES. THE
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE ARE SKIN AND EYE CONTACT.

PRIMARY ROUTE OF ENTRY: X<-- INHALATION <-- INGESTION X<-- ABSORPTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION:
REMOVE FROM THE AREA TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, CLEAR THE AIRWAY AND START MOUTH TO MOUTH
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY RINSE THE EYES WITH WATER. REMOVE ANY CONTACT LENSES. HOLD THE EYELIDS APART TO
ENSURE RINSING OF THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE EYES AND LIDS WITH WATER. CONTINUE FLUSHING FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SKIN CONTACT:
WASH AFFECTED AREAS WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF SOAP AND WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING AND SHOES. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. WASH CLOTHING AND CLEAN SHOES BEFORE REUSE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INGESTION:
GIVE 3 TO 4 GLASSES OF WATER, BUT DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF VOMITING OCCURS, GIVE FLUIDS AGAIN. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS OR CONVULSING
PERSON.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:
ORGANIC ABNORMALITIES RESULTING FROM OVEREXPOSURE TO ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOBUTYL ETHER BY ANY
ROUTE LIKELY WOULD BE AN ABNORMAL BLOOD PICTURE CHARACTERIZED BY ERYTHROPENIA,
RETICULOCYTOSIS, GRANULOCYTOSIS, AND LEUKOCYTOSIS. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE. TREAT THE PATIENT
SYMPTOMATICALLY.
