Risk of serious damage to eyes. Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed. Very toxic to aquatic organisms. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SWALLOWED ! The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion. ! Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual. ! Ingestion of acidic corrosives may produce burns around and in the mouth. the throat and esophagus. ! Concentrated solutions of many cationics may cause corrosive damage to mucous membranes and the esophagus. Nausea and vomiting (sometimes bloody) may follow ingestion. ! Concentrated solutions of cationic surfactants may cause destruction of the tissue lining the mouth, throat and gullet, and may cause nausea and vomiting. In sufficient quantity may produce restlessness, confusion, low blood pressure, muscle weakness, collapse, convulsion, labored breathing, blue coloration of the lips and coma. EYE ! The material can produce chemical burns to the eye following direct contact. Vapors or mists may be extremely irritating. ! If applied to the eyes, this material causes severe eye damage. ! Direct eye contact with acid corrosives may produce pain, tears, sensitivity to light and burns. Mild burns of the epithelia generally recover rapidly and completely. ! Many cationic surfactants are very irritating to the eyes at low concentration. Concentrated solutions can cause severe burns with permanent clouding. SKIN ! The material can produce chemical burns following direct contactwith the skin. ! Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may resultfollowing absorption. ! The material is not thought to be a skin irritant (as classified using animal models). Abrasive damage however, may result from prolonged exposures. ! Skin contact with acidic corrosives may result in pain and burns; these may be deep with distinct edges and may heal slowly with the formation of scar tissue. ! Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. ! Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. INHALED ! The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage. ! Corrosive acids can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, with coughing, choking and mucous membrane damage. There may be dizziness, headache, nausea and weakness. ! Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled. CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS ! Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related systemic problems. Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems. There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitization reaction in some persons compared to the general population. There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this product is more likely to cause a sensitization reaction in some persons compared to the general population. There is some evidence that human exposure to the material may result in developmental toxicity. This evidence is based on animal studies where effects have been observed in the absence of marked maternal toxicity, or at around the same dose levels as other toxic effects but which are not secondary non-specific consequences of the other toxic effects. Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the lung. Chronic intoxication with ionic bromides, historically, has resulted from medical use of bromides but not from environmental or occupational exposure; depression, hallucinosis, and schizophreniform psychosis can be seen in the absence of other signs of intoxication. Bromides may also induce sedation, irritability, agitation, delirium, memory loss, confusion, disorientation, forgetfulness (aphasias), dysarthria, weakness, fatigue, vertigo, stupor, coma, decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, hallucinations, an acne like rash on the face, legs and trunk, known as bronchoderma (seen in 25-30% of case involving bromide ion), and a profuse discharge from the nostrils (coryza). Ataxia 2 of 8 and generalised hyperreflexia have also been observed. Correlation of neurologic symptoms with blood levels of bromide is inexact. The use of substances such as brompheniramine, as antihistamines, largely reflect current day usage of bromides; ionic bromides have been largely withdrawn from therapeutic use due to their toxicity. Several cases of foetal abnormalities have been described in mothers who took large doses of bromides during pregnancy. Repeated or prolonged exposure to acids may result in the erosion of teeth, swelling and or ulceration of mouth lining. Irritation of airways to lung, with cough, and inflammation of lung tissue often occurs. Section 3 - COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS NAME CAS RN % benzyldimethyldodecylammonium bromide 7281-04-1 >98 Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES SWALLOWED " IF SWALLOWED, REFER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITHOUT DELAY. " Where Medical attention is not immediately available or where the patient is more than 15 minutes from a hospital or unless instructed otherwise: EYE ! If this product comes in contact with the eyes: " Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with 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. SKIN ! If skin contact occurs: " Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear " Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). INHALED " If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. " Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Inhalation of vapors or aerosols (mists, fumes) may cause lung edema. Corrosive substances may cause lung damage (e.g. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN ! For acute or short term repeated exposures to strong acids: " Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure. Treat with 100% oxygen initially. " Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation is contraindicated by excessive swelling. For exposures to quaternary ammonium compounds; " For ingestion of concentrated solutions (10% or higher): Swallow promptly a large quantity of milk, egg whites / gelatin solution. If not readily available, a slurry of activated charcoal may be useful. Avoid alcohol. Because of probable mucosal damage omit gastric lavage and emetic drugs. " For dilute solutions (2% or less): If little or no emesis appears spontaneously, administer syrup of Ipecac or perform gastric lavage. Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Vapour Pressure (mmHG): Negligible Upper Explosive Limit (%): Not available. Specific Gravity (water=1): Not available Lower Explosive Limit (%): Not available EXTINGUISHING MEDIA " Water spray or fog. " Foam. FIRE FIGHTING " Alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard. " Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus. When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire, consider evacuation by 800 metres in all directions. GENERAL FIRE HAZARDS/HAZARDOUS COMBUSTIBLE PRODUCTS " Combustible. " Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Combustion products include: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen bromide, nitrogen oxides (NOx), other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material. FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY ! Avoid contamination with oxidizing agents i.e. nitrates, oxidizing acids,chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result. PERSONAL PROTECTION
