Description of first aid measures Eye Contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Skin Contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Get medical attention. Ingestion Clean mouth with water. Get medical attention. Inhalation Remove from exposure, lie down. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention. Self-Protection of the First Aider Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination. 4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Difficulty in breathing. May cause allergic skin reaction. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting: Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, trouble breathing, tingling of the hands and feet, dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, muscle pain or flushing 4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically. SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES 5.1. Extinguishing media Suitable Extinguishing Media Carbon dioxide (CO 2). Dry chemical. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers. Chemical foam. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers. Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons Water may be ineffective. 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ACR11786 Page 3 / 11 SAFETY DATA SHEET Ethanethiol Revision Date 10-Dec-2020 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Extremely flammable. Containers may explode when heated. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or water courses. Hazardous Combustion Products Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Sulfur oxides. 5.3. Advice for firefighters As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Remove all sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. 6.2. Environmental precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. 6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Do not let this chemical enter the environment. 6.4. Reference to other sections Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 8 and 13. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE 7.1. Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
