Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SWALLOWED- If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.- If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.- Observe the patient carefully.- Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.- Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.- Seek medical advice.Avoid giving milk or oils.Avoid giving alcohol.- If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus.

EYEIf this product comes in contact with the eyes:- Wash out immediately with fresh running water.- 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.

continued...


CD 2008/3 of 32Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

- If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

SKINIf skin contact occurs:- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.

INHALED- 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 valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.- Transport to hospital, or doctor.

NOTES TO PHYSICIANAny material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not beinduced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means should be used if it is considerednecessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these include gastric lavage after endotrachealintubation. If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be monitoredfor difficult breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48hours.For acute or short term repeated exposures to xylene:- Gastro-intestinal absorption is significant with ingestions. For ingestions exceeding 1-2 ml(xylene)/kg, intubation and lavage with cuffed endotracheal tube is recommended. The use ofcharcoal and cathartics is equivocal.- Pulmonary absorption is rapid with about 60-65% retained at rest.- Primary threat to life from ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure.- Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis,tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidalvolumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 < 50 mm Hg or pCO2 > 50 mm Hg) should be intubated.- Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocardiographicevidence of myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should beestablished in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so thathyperventilation improves clearance.- A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation todocument aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.- Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm because of potentialmyocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent,Salbutamol) are the preferred agents, with aminophylline a second choice.BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDEX - BEIThese represent the determinants observed in specimens collected from a healthy worker exposed atthe Exposure Standard (ES or TLV):

From IERG (Canada/Australia)Isolation Distance 25 metresDownwind Protection Distance 300 metresIERG Number 14

FOOTNOTES1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk of harmful exposure. This zone

assumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees oneither side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equalto the downwind protective action distance.

2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spilland working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level ofvapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated andunable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects.

3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a highprobability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection tolife-threatening concentrations of the material.

4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican orbox with inner containers). Larger packages leaking less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking froma small cylinder are also considered "small spills".

LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of greater than 200 litres, such asa cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder.

MATERIAL DATASensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects onthe eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for theseirritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborneconcentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should beprotected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are establishedusing uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human resultsare unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) indetermining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceilingvalues (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLVSTELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpointscombine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closelyallied to that of the USA.OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:- cause inflammation- cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents- lead to permanent injury or dysfunction- permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and- acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thusincreasing the risk of overexposure.

METHYL ETHYL KETOXIME:PROPYLBENZENE:

No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.

NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, HEAVY, HYDRODESULFURISED:Odour threshold: 0.25 ppm.The TLV-TWA is protective against ocular and upper respiratory tract irritation and is

recommended for bulk handling of gasoline based on calculations of hydrocarbon content ofgasoline vapour. A STEL is recommended to prevent mucous membrane and ocular irritationand prevention of acute depression of the central nervous system. Because of the widevariation in molecular weights of its components, the conversion of ppm to mg/m3 isapproximate. Sweden recommends hexane type limits of 100 ppm and heptane and octane typelimits of 300 ppm. Germany does not assign a value because of the widely differingcompositions and resultant differences in toxic properties.

Odour Safety Factor(OSF)OSF=0.042 (gasoline).Low and high odour thresholds of 5.25 and 157.5 mg/m3, respectively, were considered

to provide a rather useful index of odour as a warning property.The TLV-TWA is calculated from data on the toxicities of the major ingredients and is

intended to minimise the potential for irritative and narcotic effects, polyneuropathyand kidney damage produced by vapours.

The NIOSH (USA) REL-TWA of 60 ppm is the same for all refined petroleum solvents.NIOSH published an occupational "action level" of 350 mg/m3 for exposure to Stoddardsolvent, assuming a 10-hour work shift and a 40-hour work-week. The NIOSH-REL ceiling of1800 mg/m3 was established to protect workers from short-term effects that might producevertigo or other adverse effects which might increase the risk of occupational accidents.Combined (gross) percutaneous absorption and inhalation exposure (at concentrationsassociated with nausea) are thought, by some, to be responsible for the development offrank hepatic toxicity and jaundice.

ES TWA: 790 mg/m3 (as white spirit)TLV TWA: 100 ppm, 525 mg/m3 (as Stoddard Solvent)

XYLENE:IDLH Level: 900 ppmOdour Threshold Value: 20 ppm (detection), 40 ppm (recognition)NOTE: Detector tubes for o-xylene, measuring in excess of 10 ppm, are available

commercially. (m-xylene and p-xylene give almost the same response).Xylene vapour is an irritant to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin and causes

narcosis at high concentrations. Exposure to doses sufficiently high to produceintoxication and unconsciousness also produces transient liver and kidney toxicity.Neurologic impairment is NOT evident amongst volunteers inhaling up to 400 ppm thoughcomplaints of ocular and upper respiratory tract irritation occur at 200 ppm for 3 to 5minutes.

Use care in interpreting effects as a single isomer or other isomer mix.Trimethylbenzene is an eye, nose and respiratory irritant. Highconcentrations cause central nervous system depression. Exposed workersshow CNS changes, asthmatic bronchitis and blood dyscrasias at 60 ppm. TheTLV-TWA is thought to be protective against the significant risk of CNSexcitation, asthmatic bronchitis and blood dyscrasias associated withexposures above the limit.

ETHYLBENZENE:for ethyl benzene:Odour Threshold Value: 0.46-0.60 ppmNOTE: Detector tubes for ethylbenzene, measuring in excess of 30 ppm, are commercially

available.Ethyl benzene produces irritation of the skin and mucous membranes and appears to

produce acute and chronic effects on the central nervous system. Animal experiments alsosuggest the effects of chronic exposure include damage to the liver, kidneys and testes.In spite of structural similarities to benzene, the material does not appear to causedamage to the haemopoietic system. The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against skinand eye irritation. Exposure at this concentration probably will not result in systemiceffects.

Subjects exposed at 200 ppm experienced transient irritation of the eyes; at 1000 ppmthere was eye irritation with profuse lachrymation; at 200 ppm eye irritation andlachrymation were immediate and severe accompanied by moderate nasal irritation,constriction in the chest and vertigo; at 5000 ppm exposure produced intolerableirritation of the eyes and throat.

ISOPROPYL BENZENE - CUMENE:

Odour Threshold Value: 0.008-0.132 ppm (detection), 0.047 ppm (recognition)Exposure at or below the TLV-TWA is thought to prevent induction of narcosis.

METHYL ETHYL KETOXIME:CAUTION: This substance is classified by the NOHSC as Category 3 Suspected of having

carcinogenic potential.CEL TWA: 10 ppm, 36 mg/m3 (compare WEEL-TWA)OEL-TWA: 0.28 ppm, 1 mg/m3 ORICA Australia quoting DSM ChemicalsSaturated vapour concentration: 1395 ppm at 20 deg. C.MEKO produces haemolytic anaemia in animals regardless of the route of exposure.

Higher doses produce transient central nervous system depression. In the absence ofchronic data and because minimal effects were seen at 25 mg/kg in a 13-week oral study inrats, a workplace environmental exposure level (WEEL) of 10 ppm has been proposed by theAIHA. One industrial hygiene study indicated that MEKO exposures during

use of alkyd paints are less than 1 ppm, although they may reach 2 ppm when using a

continued...



roller. With brush application and some ventilation, the average level was 0.3-0.4 ppm:with spraying it was 0.3 to 0.8 ppm.

Mice and rats show destruction to nasal tissues at 15 ppm ; these effects are thoughtto be irreversible at 75 ppm.

3-IODO-2-PROPYNYL BUTYL CARBAMATE:It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their

equivalent) for all substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborneconcentrations encountered in the workplace.

At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produceadverse health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience).Airborne concentrations must be maintained as low as is practically possible andoccupational exposure must be kept to a minimum.

NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified(P.N.O.S) does NOT apply.

COBALT(II) OCTOATE:In view of the serious effects seen in experimental animals after a relatively short

exposure period at 0.1 mg/m3 the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to reduce the significantrisk of material impairment of health posed by respiratory disease and pulmonarysensitization which have been shown to occur at higher levels of exposure. The value doesnot apply generally to cobalt compounds.

A significant increase in the risk of lung cancer was reported among workers involvedin cobalt production (with concomitant exposure to nickel and arsenic) and hard-metalworkers with documented exposure to cobalt-containing dusts. A significant increase inlung cancer risk has been observed in workers whose exposure began more than 20 yearspreviously. A number of single cases of malignant tumours, mostly sarcomas, have beenreported at the site, following implant of cobalt-containing orthopedic implants.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

EYE- 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 lens orrestrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include areview of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an accountof injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removaland suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lensshould be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should beremoved in 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.NOTE:

- The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must betaken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skincontact.- Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed anddestroyed.Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:- frequency and duration of contact,- chemical resistance of glove material,- glove thickness and

continued...



- dexterity,are important in the selection of gloves.

OTHER- Overalls.- PVC Apron.- PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.- Eyewash unit.- Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.

RESPIRATORRespiratory protection may be required when ANY "Worst Case" vapour-phase concentrationis exceeded (see Computer Prediction in "Exposure Standards").

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type ofpersonal protective equipment required. For further information consult site specificCHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.

ENGINEERING CONTROLSFor flammable liquids and flammable gases, local exhaust ventilation or a processenclosure ventilation system may be required. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant.Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, inturn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectivelyremove the contaminant.

Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25- 0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min.)evaporating from tank (in still air).aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, 0.5- 1 m/s (100- 200 f/min.)intermittent container filling, low speedconveyer transfers, welding, spray drift,plating acid fumes, pickling (released atlow velocity into zone of active generation)direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min.)booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,crusher dusts, gas discharge (activegeneration into zone of rapid air motion)

Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

Lower end of the range Upper end of the range1: Room air currents minimal or favourable 1: Disturbing room air currentsto capture2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicitynuisance value only.

3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood- local control only

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the openingof a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distancefrom the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extractionpoint should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminatingsource. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2m/s (200-400 f/min.) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant fromthe extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficitswithin the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities aremultiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWEDAccidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.Ingestion of petroleum hydrocarbons can irritate the pharynx, oesophagus, stomach and smallintestine, and cause swellings and ulcers of the mucous. Symptoms include a burning mouth andthroat; larger amounts can cause nausea and vomiting, narcosis, weakness, dizziness, slow andshallow breathing, abdominal swelling, unconsciousness and convulsions. Damage to the heart muscle

can produce heart beat irregularities, ventricular fibrillation (fatal) and ECG changes. Thecentral nervous system can be depressed. Light species can cause a sharp tingling of the tongueand cause loss of sensation there. Aspiration can cause cough, gagging, pneumonia with swellingand bleeding.Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include general discomfort, symptoms of giddiness,headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects, slowed reaction time, slurred speech and mayprogress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may result in respiratory depression and may befatal.

EYEThe liquid produces a high level of eye discomfort and is capable of causing pain and severeconjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possible permanent impairment of vision, if notpromptly and adequately treated.Direct eye contact with petroleum hydrocarbons can be painful, and the corneal epithelium may betemporarily damaged. Aromatic species can cause irritation and excessive tear secretion.There is evidence that material may produce eye irritation in some persons and produce eye damage24 hours or more after instillation. Severe inflammation may be expected with pain. There may bedamage to the cornea. Unless treatment is prompt and adequate there may be permanent loss ofvision. Conjunctivitis can occur following repeated exposure.

SKINEntry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may producesystemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensurethat any external damage is suitably protected.Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may result following absorption.Aromatic hydrocarbons may produce sensitivity and redness of the skin. They are not likely to beabsorbed into the body through the skin but branched species are more likely to.The material may cause moderate inflammation of the skin either following direct contact or aftera delay of some time. Repeated exposure can cause contact dermatitis which is characterised byredness, swelling and blistering.

INHALEDThere is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory irritation in somepersons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage.Inhalation of high concentrations of gas/vapour causes lung irritation with coughing and nausea,central nervous depression with headache and dizziness, slowing of reflexes, fatigue and inco-ordination.If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead to narcosis,unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normalhandling, may be harmful.Xylene is a central nervous system depressant.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTSSubstance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeatedor long-term occupational exposure.There is some evidence from animal testing that exposure to this material may result in toxiceffects to the unborn baby.There has been concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations, but there is not enoughdata to make an assessment.There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this product is more likely to cause asensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population.Exposure to the material for prolonged periods may cause physical defects in the developing embryo(teratogenesis).Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver and bloodchanges. [PATTYS].Constant or exposure over long periods to mixed hydrocarbons may produce stupor with dizziness,weakness and visual disturbance, weight loss and anaemia, and reduced liver and kidney function.Skin exposure may result in drying and cracking and redness of the skin. Chronic exposure to

lighter hydrocarbons can cause nerve damage, peripheral neuropathy, bone marrow dysfunction andpsychiatric disorders as well as damage the liver and kidneys.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATIONunless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.

Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke'soedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of thedelayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immunereactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitisation potential:the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equally important. A weaklysensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with strongersensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view,substances are noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.

NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, HEAVY, HYDRODESULFURISED:unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.

Lifetime exposure of rodents to gasoline produces carcinogenicity although the relevance to humans has beenquestioned. Gasoline induces kidney cancer in male rats as a consequence of accumulation of the alpha2-microglobulin protein in hyaline droplets in the male (but not female) rat kidney. Such abnormalaccumulation represents lysosomal overload and leads to chronic renal tubular cell degeneration,accumulation of cell debris, mineralisation of renal medullary tubules and necrosis. A sustainedregenerative proliferation occurs in epithelial cells with subsequent neoplastic transformation withcontinued exposure. The alpha2-microglobulin is produced under the influence of hormonal controls in malerats but not in females and, more importantly, not in humans.No data of toxicological significance identified in literature search.

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This maybe due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occurfollowing exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADSinclude the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset ofpersistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. Areversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchialhyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, withouteosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following anirritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration ofexposure to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occursas result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) andis completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucusproduction.Other Toxicity data is available forCHEMWATCH 12172 1,2,3-trimethylbenzeneCHEMWATCH 2325 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene

There are two different metabolic pathways for ethylbenzenewith the primary pathway being the alpha-oxidation of ethylbenzene to 1-phenylethanol, mostly as the R-enantiomer. The pattern of urinary metabolite excretion varies with different mammalian species. In humans,ethylbenzene is excreted in the urine as mandelic acid and phenylgloxylic acids; whereas rats and rabbitsexcrete hippuric acid and phenaceturic acid as the main metabolites. Ethylbenzene can induce liver enzymesand hence its own metabolism as well as the metabolism of other substances.Ethylbenzene has a low order of acute toxicity by the oral, dermal or inhalation routes of exposure.Studies in rabbits indicate that ethylbenzene is irritating to the skin and eyes. There are numerous repeatdose studies available in a variety of species, these include: rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pig and rhesusmonkeys.Hearing loss has been reported in rats (but not guinea pigs) exposed to relatively high exposures (400 ppmand greater) of ethylbenzeneIn chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity studies, both rats and mice were exposed via inhalation to 0, 75, 250or 750 ppm for 104 weeks. In rats, the kidney was the target organ of toxicity, with renal tubularhyperplasia noted in both males and females at the 750 ppm level only. In mice, the liver and lung were theprincipal target organs of toxicity. In male mice at 750 ppm, lung toxicity was described as alveolarepithelial metaplasia, and liver toxicity was described as hepatocellular syncitial alteration, hypertrophyand mild necrosis; this was accompanied by increased follicular cell hyperplasia in the thyroid. As aresult the NOAEL in male mice was determined to be 250 ppm. In female mice, the 750 ppm dose group had anincreased incidence of eosinophilic foci in the liver (44% vs 10% in the controls) and an increasedincidence in follicular cell hyperplasia in the thyroid gland.In studies conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology Program, inhalation of ethylbenzene at 750 ppmresulted in increased lung tumors in male mice, liver tumors in female mice, and increased kidney tumors inmale and female rats. No increase in tumors was reported at 75 or 250 ppm. Ethylbenzene is considered to bean animal carcinogen, however, the relevance of these findings to humans is currently unknown. Although noreproductive toxicity studies have been conducted on ethylbenzene, repeated-dose studies indicate that thereproductive organs are not a target for ethylbenzene toxicity

Their skin and eye irritation potential is chain lengthdependent and decreases with increasing chain length - they are poorly absorbed through the skin nor arethey skin sensitisers. The available repeated dose toxicity data demonstrate the low toxicity of the fattyacids and their salts. Also, they are not considered to be mutagenic, genotoxic or carcinogenic, and arenot reproductive or developmental toxicants. Accidental ingestion of fatty acid salt containing detergentproducts is not expected to result in any significant adverse health effects. This assessment is based ontoxicological data demonstrating the low acute oral toxicity of fatty acid salts and the fact that not asingle fatality has been reported in the UK following accidental ingestion of detergents containing fattyacid salts. Also in a report published by the German Federal Institute for Health Protection of Consumersand Veterinary Medicine, detergent products were not mentioned as dangerous products with a high incidenceif poisoning. The estimated total human exposure to fatty acid salts, from the different exposure scenariosfor the handling and use of detergent products containing fatty acid salts, showed a margin of exposure(MOE) of 258,620. This extremely large MOE is large enough to be reassuring with regard to the relativelysmall variability of the hazard data on which it is based. Also, in the UK, the recommended dietary fattyacid intake by the Department of Health is about 100 g of fatty acids per day or 1.7 g (1700 mg) of fattyacids per kilogram body weight per day. This exposure is several orders of magnitude above that resultingfrom exposure to fatty acid salts in household cleaning products. Based on the available data, the use offatty acid salts in household detergent and cleaning products does not raise any safety concerns withregard to consumer.No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.

Ethylbenzene partitions toair from water and soil, and is degraded in air. Ethylbenzene is volatile and whenreleased will quickly vaporize. Photodegradation is the primary route of removal in theenvironment. Photodegradation is estimated with a half-life of 1 day. Ethylbenzene isconsidered inherently biodegradable and removal from water occurs primarily byevaporation but in the summer biodegradation plays a key role in the removal process.Level I and Level III fugacity modeling indicate that partitioning is primarily to theair compartment, 98 and 96%, respectively. Ethylbenzene is inherently biodegradable inwater and in soil under aerobic conditions, and not rapidly biodegradable in anaerobicconditions. Ethylbenzene is expected to be moderately adsorbed to soil. In acute aquatictoxicity testing LC50 values range approximately between 1 and 10 mg/l.

COBALT(II) OCTOATE:Octanol/water partition coefficients cannot easily be determined for surfactants becauseone part of the molecule is hydrophilic and the other part is hydrophobic. Consequentlythey tend to accumulate at the interface and are not extracted into one or other of theliquid phases. As a result surfactants are expected to transfer slowly, for example, fromwater into the flesh of fish. During this process, readily biodegradable surfactants areexpected to be metabolised rapidly during the process of bioaccumulation. This wasemphasised by the OECD Expert Group stating that chemicals are not to be considered toshow bioaccumulation potential if they are readily biodegradable.

Several anionic and nonionic surfactants have been investigated to evaluate theirpotential to bioconcentrate in fish. BCF values (BCF - bioconcentration factor) rangingfrom 1 to 350 were found. These are absolute maximum values, resulting from theradiolabelling technique used. In all these studies, substantial oxidative metabolism wasfound resulting in the highest radioactivity in the gall bladder. This indicates livertransformation of the parent compound and biliary excretion of the metabolised compounds,so that "real" bioconcentration is overstated. After correction it can be expected that"real" parent BCF values are one order of magnitude less than those indicated above, i.e."real" BCF is <100. Therefore the usual data used for classification by EU directives todetermine whether a substance is "Dangerous to the "Environment" has little bearing onwhether the use of the surfactant is environmentally acceptable.for cobalt compounds:Environmental Fate:Cobalt strongly binds to humic substances naturally present in aquatic environments.Humic acids can be modified by UV light and bacterial decomposition, which may changetheir binding characteristics over time. The lability of the complexes is s stronglyinfluenced by pH, the nature of the humic material, and the metal-to-humic substanceratio. The lability of cobalt-humate complexes decreases in time (“aging effect”) . The“aging effect” indicates that after a period of time (~12 hours), complexes that wereinitially formed are transformed into stronger ones from which the metal ion is lessreadily dislodged.Between 45 and 100% of dissolved cobalt was found to occur in very strong complexes. Thedistribution coefficient of cobalt may vary considerably in the same sediment in responseto conditions affecting the pH, redox conditions, ionic strength, and amount of dissolvedorganic matter. Uptake of 60Co from the water by sediment increased rapidly as the pH wasincreased from 5 to 7 -7.5 and then slightly decrease. Therefore, pH would be animportant factor affecting the migration of cobalt in surface water. Uptake was littleaffected by changes in liquid-to-solids ratio and ionic strength. 60Co is more mobile inanaerobic marine aquatic environments than in freshwater aerobic ones. In seawatersediment systems under anaerobic conditions 60Co was 250 times more mobile than 60Co infreshwater sediment systems under aerobic conditions. Under anaerobic conditions, 30% ofthe 60Co added to a sediment-freshwater system was ‘exchangeable’ and thereforepotentially mobile, while under aerobic conditions, 98% of the 60Co was permanentlyfixed. Most of the mobile 60Co produced under anaerobic conditions in seawater consistedof nonionic cobalt associated with low molecular weight organic substances that werestable to changes in pH; the exchangeable 60Co appeared to be mostly ionic.The mobility of cobalt in soil is inversely related to how strongly it is adsorbed bysoil constituents. Cobalt may be retained by mineral oxides such as iron and manganeseoxide, crystalline materials such as aluminosilicate and goethite, and natural organicsubstances in soil. Sorption of cobalt to soil occurs rapidly (within 1-2 hours). Soil-derived oxide materials were found to adsorb greater amounts of cobalt than othermaterials examined, although substantial amounts were also adsorbed by organic materials.

Clay minerals sorbed relatively smaller amounts of cobalt. In addition, little cobalt wasdesorbed from soil oxides while substantial amounts desorbed from humic acids andmontorillonite. In clay soil, adsorption may be due to ion exchange at the cationic siteson clay with either simple ionic cobalt or hydrolysed ionic species such as CoOH+.Adsorption of cobalt onto iron and manganese increases with pH. In addition, as pHincreases, insoluble hydroxides or carbonates may form, which would also reduce cobaltmobility. Conversely, sorption onto mobile colloids would enhance its mobility. In mostsoils, cobalt is more mobile than lead, chromium (II), zinc, and nickel, but less mobilethan cadmium. In several studies, the Kd of cobalt in a variety of soils ranged from 0.2to 3,800. The soil properties showing the highest correlation with Kd were exchangeablecalcium, pH, water content, and cation exchange capacity. Organic complexing agents suchas ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), which are used for decontamination operationsat nuclear facilities, greatly enhance the mobility of cobalt in soil. Other organiccomplexing agents, such as those obtained from plant decay, may also increase cobaltmobility in soil. However, both types of complexes decrease cobalt uptake by plants.Addition of sewage sludge to soil also increases the mobility of cobalt, perhaps due toorganic complexation of cobalt.Cobalt may be taken up from soil by plants. Surface deposition of cobalt on leaves ofplants from airborne particles may also occur. Elevated levels of cobalt have been foundin the roots of sugar beets and potato tubers in soils with high cobalt concentrations(e.g., fly ash-amended soil) due to absorption of cobalt from soil. However, thetranslocation of cobalt from roots to above-ground parts of plants is not significant inmost soils, as indicated by the lack of cobalt in seeds of barley, oats, and wheat grownin high-cobalt soil. However, in highly acidic soil (pH as low as 3.3), significantlyhigher than normal concentrations of cobalt were found in rye grass foliage, oats, andbarley. For example, cobalt concentrations in rye grass grown in unlimed soil (pH<5.0)was 19.7 mg/kg compared with 1.1 mg/kg in rye grass grown in limed soil (pH>5.0). Soiland plant samples taken in the 30-km zone around Chernobyl indicated that 60Co was notaccumulated by plants and mushrooms. Studies investigating the uptake of 60Co by tomatoplants watered with 60Co contaminated water showed that tomato plants absorbed <2% of theactivity available from the soil.60Co is taken up by phytoplankton and unicellular algae (Senenastrum capricornutum) withconcentration factors (dry weight) ranging from 15,000 to 40,000 and 2,300 to 18,000,respectively. Elimination experiments with the algae indicate a two component biologicalhalf-life, 1 hour and 11 days, respectively, and suggest that the cobalt might beabsorbed not only on the surface, but also intracellularly. Since these organisms are atthe bottom of the food chain, they could play an important role in the trophic transferof 60Co released into waterways by nuclear facilities. However, cobalt levels generallydiminish with increasing trophic levels in a food chain. The low levels of cobalt in fishmay also reflect cobalt’s strong binding to particles and sediment. The bioaccumulationfactors (dry weight basis) for cobalt in marine and freshwater fish are ~100-4,000 and<10-1,000, respectively; accumulation in the muscle of marine fish is 5- 500.Cobalt largely accumulates in the viscera and on the skin, as opposed to the edible partsof the fish. In carp, accumulation from water accounted for 75% of 60Co accumulated fromboth water and food; accumulation from water and food was additive. Depuration half-liveswere 53 and 87 days for fish contaminated from food and water, respectively. In the caseof an accidental release of 60Co into waterways, the implication is that effects wouldmanifest themselves rapidly since the primary route of exposure is from water rather thanfood. Uptake of 60Co was very low in whitefish, with concentrations being highest inkidney and undetectable in muscle. Similarly, while accumulation of 60Co by carp fromfood was dependent on food type, the transfer factor was very low, approximately 0.01,and no long-term bioaccumulation of the radionuclide occurred.Concentration factors have also been reported for various other aquatic organisms.Freshwater mollusks have concentration factors of 100-14,000 (~1-300 in soft tissue).Much of the cobalt taken up by mollusks and crustacae from water or sediment is adsorbedto the shell or exoskeleton; very little cobalt is generally accumulated in the edibleparts. A concentration factor for 60Co of 265 mL/g (wet weight) was determined forDaphnia magna in laboratory studies. The rapid decrease in radioactivity during thedepuration phase indicated that adsorption to the surface was the major contamination

process. However, the digestive glands of crustaceans, which are sometimes eaten byhumans, may accumulate high levels of 60Co. The shell accounted for more than half of thebody burden. Among the soft tissue, the gills and viscera had the highest concentrationsfactors and the muscle had the lowest.In mussels, higher absorption efficiencies and lower efflux rates were obtained forcobalamins than for inorganic cobalt, suggesting that it is a more bioavailable form ofcobalt.Vitamin B12, which contains cobalt, is synthesized by 58 species of seven genuses ofbacteria as well as blue-green algae and actinomycetes (mold-like bacteria). Consequently,vitamin B12 levels in marine water range from very low levels in some open ocean water tomuch higher levels in some coastal waters. Freshwater environments have comparable levelsof vitamin B12. The high level of cobalamins in coastal water appears to be elated tothe occurrence of macrophytes in these areas with their high concentrations of vitaminB12. Cobalamins are released into the water when the organisms die.Some female birds sequester metals into their eggs under certain conditions, a phenomenonthat may jeopardize the developing embryos.Fatty acid soaps are widely used in household cleaning products, cosmetics, lubricants(and other miscellaneous industrial applications) and coatings. Uses in householdcleaning include fabric washing products, fabric conditioners, laundry additives, andsurface and toilet cleaners. These uses cover chain lengths of C10-22 predominantly withcounter-ions of sodium and potassium.There are a number of acute data for fatty acids and fatty acid salts to aquaticorganisms although there is a predominance of data for fatty acid. There are few toxicityvalues for terrestrial organisms. Data availability / quality covering all the taxonomicgroups for specific fatty acid salt chain lengths is poor. The chronic data set is verylimited.For chain lengths >C12, solubility decreases to a degree where an adverse effect wouldnot be expected in the environment due to reduced biovailability. Data for longer chainlengths have been generated using solvents which makes interpretation more difficult.The most of few available data indicate low toxicity towards aquatic organisms withEC/LC50 values above 1000 mg/l. However, EC/LC50 values below 100mg/l are not unusual either.Several tests concerning biodegradation are available. All tests showed that fatty acidsand lipids are readily biodegradable .No experimental bioaccumulation data appear to be available but log Kow data from varioussources. are higher than 4, which indicates that fatty acids and natural lipids have apotential for bioaccumulating in aquatic organisms.DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
