Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
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.
PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spill and 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.
INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a high probability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection tolife-threatening concentrations of the material.
SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican or box 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 as a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder.
Guide 145 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.
IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.

INGREDIENT DATA
BISPHENOL A/ EPICHLOROHYDRIN RESIN:BISPHENOL F/ EPICHLOROHYDRIN COPOLYMER: Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the 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.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
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 thus increasing the risk of overexposure.
DICYCLOHEXYL PHTHALATE:SILICA, DIMETHYLSILOXANE TREATED: BISPHENOL A/ EPICHLOROHYDRIN RESIN:BISPHENOL F/ EPICHLOROHYDRIN COPOLYMER: Exposed individuals are NOT reasonably expected to be warned, by smell, that the Exposure Standard is being exceeded.
Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is determined to fall into either Class C, D or E.
The Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is defined as:OSF= Exposure Standard (TWA) ppm/ Odour Threshold Value (OTV) ppmClassification into classes follows: Over 90% of exposedindividuals are aware bysmell that the ExposureStandard (TLV- TWA forexample) is being reached,even when distracted byworking activities As " A" for 50- 90% ofpersons being distracted As " A" for less than 50% ofpersons being distracted 10- 50% of persons aware ofbeing tested perceive bysmell that the ExposureStandard is being reached As " D" for less than 10% ofpersons aware of being tested The recommendation for the TLV-TWA is based on the absence of subjectivesymptoms of irritation of the nose and throat in humans exposed to5.25 mg/m3. Whether this is sufficiently low to prevent cumulative effectsin man is not known.
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.

At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse 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 PERSONAL PROTECTION
· Chemical goggles.
· Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection ofeyes· 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.
· DO NOT wear cotton or cotton-backed gloves.
· DO NOT wear leather gloves.
· Promptly hose all spills off leather shoes or boots or ensure that such footwear isprotected with PVC over-shoes.
· NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care mustbe taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skincontact.
· Overalls.
· PVC Apron.
· PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
· Eyewash unit.
· Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathingzone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (definedas the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.
Ingestion of organic peroxides may produce nausea, vomiting, abnormal pain, stupor,bluish discoloration of skin and mucous membranes. Inflammation of the heart muscle mayalso occur.
The toxicity of phthalates is not excessive due to slow oral absorption and metabolism.
Absorption is affected by fat in the diet. Repeated doses can cause cumulative toxiceffects, and symptoms include an enlarged liver which often reverses if exposure ismaintained. Carbohydrate metabolism is disrupted, and cholesterol and triglyceride levelsin the blood falls. There can also be withering of the testicles. Some phthalates canincrease the effects of antibiotics, thiamine (vitamin B1) and sulfonamides.
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause eyeirritation in a substantial number of individuals. Prolonged eye contact may causeinflammation characterised by a temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar towindburn).
Eye contact with organic peroxides can cause clouding, redness, swelling and burns of theeye on prolonged contact.
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may cause mild but significant inflammation of the skin either followingdirect contact or after a delay of some time. Repeated exposure can cause contactdermatitis which is characterised by redness, swelling and blistering.
All organic peroxides are irritating to the skin and if allowed to remain on the skin,may produce inflammation; some are allergenic.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under ECDirectives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds,lesions or abrasions.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, mayproduce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of thematerial and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and mayproduce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling andthickening of the skin.
The inhalation of organic peroxide dusts or vapours can produce throat and lungirritation and cause an asthma-like effect. Over-exposure can cause tears, salivation,lethargy, slow breathing, breathing difficulties, headache, weakness, tremor, stupor andswelling of the lung.
The material is not thought to produce either adverse health effects or irritation of therespiratory tract following inhalation (as classified by EC Directives using animalmodels). Nevertheless, adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure ofanimals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure bekept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Persistent exposure over a long period of time to peroxides produces allergic skinreactions (redness and scaling of the skin) and asthmatic wheezing.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern followingrepeated or long-term occupational exposure.
There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitisationreaction in some persons compared to the general population.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in somepersons compared to the general population.
Exposure to the material for prolonged periods may cause physical defects in thedeveloping embryo (teratogenesis).
Exposure to phthalates over years leads to pain, numbness and spasms in the hands andfeet. Many people have developed multiple disorders in the nervous system and thebalancing system. Levels of sex hormones are reduced in women, leading to missedovulations and miscarriages. They also reduce sperm counts and fertility in men. Theymimic certain sex hormones and can damage the foetus. Phthalates are found in paints,inks and glues.
Bisphenol A may have effects similar to female sex hormones and when administered topregnant women, may damage the foetus. It may also damage male reproductive organs andsperm.
One ingredient of the product has caused skin sensitisation reactions, shown as localisedreddening and hives, or may produce respiratory sensitisation characterised by asthma-like symptoms and runny nose.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION

DIBENZOYL PEROXIDE:unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects ofChemical Substances.
Subcutaneous (Rat) LD: 40 mg/kg (@ 50%)Intraperitoneal (Mouse) LD50: 440 mg/kgIntravenous (Rabbit) LD: 16 mg/kg Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticariaor Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (Tlymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g.
contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of thecontact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitisation potential: thedistribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equallyimportant. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a moreimportant allergen than one with stronger sensitising potential with which fewindividuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are noteworthyif they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.

contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of thecontact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitisation potential: thedistribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equallyimportant.

On the basis of available evidence concerning either toxicity, persistence, potential toaccumulate and or observed environmental fate and behaviour, the material may present adanger, immediate or long-term and /or delayed, to the structure and/ or functioning ofnatural ecosystems.
The phthalate esters are distributed throughout the environment ubiquitously. They arefound complexed with fulvic acid components of the humic substances in soil and marineand estuarine waters. Fulvic acid appears to act as a solubiliser for the otherwiseinsoluble ester and serves to mediate its transport and mobilisation in water orimmobilisation in soil. Phthalate esters have been found in open ocean environments, indeep sea jelly fish, Atlantic herring and in mackerel. Phthalic ester plasticisers areclearly recognised as general contaminants of almost every soil and water ecosystem. Ingeneral they have low acute toxicity but the weight of evidence supporting theircarcinogenicity is substantial. Other subtle chronic effects have also been reported. Aslittle as 4 ug/ml in culture medium is lethal to chick embryo heart cells. Thisconcentration is similar to that reached in human blood stored in vinyl plastic bags foras little as one day. Some phthalates (notably di2-ethylhexyl phthalate and dibutylphthalate) may also be detrimental to the reproduction of the water flea (Daphnia magna),zebra fish and guppies. As phthalates are present in drinking water and food, concernshave been raised about their long term effects on humans.

Environmental toxicity is a function of the n-octanol/ water partition coefficient (logPow, log Kow). Phenols with log Pow >7.4 are expected to exhibit low toxicity to aquaticorganisms. However the toxicity of phenols with a lower log Pow is variable, ranging fromlow toxicity (LC50 values >100 mg/l) to highly toxic (LC50 values <1 mg/l) dependent onlog Pow, molecular weight and substitutions on the aromatic ring. Dinitrophenols are moretoxic than predicted from QSAR estimates. Hazard information for these groups is notgenerally available.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
· Recycle wherever possible. Special hazard may exist - specialist advice may be required.
· Consult manufacturer for recycling options.
· Consult State Land Waste Management Authority for disposal.
· Bury or incinerate residue at an approved site.
· Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.
· Puncture containers to prevent re-use and bury at an authorised landfill.
· Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty.
· Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible.
Otherwise:· If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not remain or if the container cannot be used to store the same product, then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.
· Where possible retain label warnings and MSDS and observe all notices pertaining to the product.
