3. HAZARDS INDENTIFICATION

Emergency overview: Clear dark blue liquid with obnoxious odor. Toxic in contact with skin and if swallowed, may cause serious damage to eyes, irritating to respiratory system and skin. May be fatal if swallowed.

Routes of entry: Ingestion, skin and eye contact.


Health hazards:

Ingestion: Paraquat can kill if swallowed. Rapid treatment is essential. The immediate effects of poisoning depend on the dose of paraquat absorbed into the blood. The immediate effects of poisoning usually are abdominal discomfort, soreness and inflammation of the mouth, throat and oesophagus, difficulty in swallowing and later, diarrhoea. Kidney and liver damage may appear 1-3 days after exposure. Lethal poisoning occurs at >40mg paraquat ion/kg body weight and the effects are nausea and vomiting, and can cause death within 48 hours.

Eye: A severe eye irritant. Eye irritation may be delayed. May lead to ulceration of corneal and conjunctival epithelium giving rise to secondary infection. Although healing may be slow, the injury is superficial and with proper medical care will be complete, even in severe cases.

Skin: Contact with skin will result in irritation. Can cause inflammation and severe cases blistering of the skin. Contamination of the nails may cause white spots or in severe cases cracking and loss of the nail. Normal growth follows withour delay. Intact skin is a very effective barrier to paraquat. Damaged skin removes the barrier and paraquat may be absorbed with effects as outlined above under 'swallowed'.

Inhaled: Inhalation of vapour is not likely due to low vapour pressure. Inhalation of spray droplets can result in nose bleeds, irritation and soreness of the throat if trapped in the nasal passage. Inhalation of respirable (very small) spray droplets is unlikely however inhalation of respirable spray droplets can result in pulmonary oedema up to 48 hours after exposure and could prove fatal.

Environmental hazards: Toxic to aquatic organisms.


4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General: Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data Sheet with you when going for treatment. Tell the person contacted the complete product name, and the type and amount of exposure. Describe any symptoms and follow the advice given.

Skin contact: Immediately take off all contaminated clothing. Wash affected area immediately with water and than thoroughly with soap and water. Seek immediate medical attention–speed is essential. Contaminated clothing should be laundered before use.

Eye contact: Immediately flush contaminated eye(s) with water for 20 minutes holding eyelids open. Seek immediate medical attention – speed is essential.

Ingestion: If swallowed, induce vomiting. Do not give anything by mouth to unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention – speed is essential.

Inhalation: If inhaled remove victim to fresh air. Remove contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothing. Apply resuscitation if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek immediate medical attention – speed is essential.

Note to physician: Rapid treatment is essential. Refer to 'Paraquat Poisoning - A Practical Guide to Diagnosis, First Aid and Hospital Treatment' (2003 or later edition) available at most major treatment hospitals and Poisons Information Centres.

Treatment: Wash out stomach and test urine and gastric aspirate (if clear) for presence of paraquat. Give up to 1 litre of 15% aqueous suspension of Fuller's Earth orally or via gastric tube, together with a suitable purgative (200 mL of an aqueous solution of mannitol). Repeat administration of absorbent plus purgative until absorbent is seen in stools. This should normally take between 4 and 6 hours after the start of treatment. Do not use supplemental oxygen. With the possibility of late onset conjunctival ulceration it is advised that patients with paraquat eye injuries are reviewed the day after first presentation. At the review, consideration should be given to treating the eyes with a local antibiotic preparation to prevent secondary infection. Local treatment with a suitable steroid will aid resolution of granulation tissue. Corneal oedema, which may persist for up to 3 - 4 weeks, may cause blurring of vision.


5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash point: Does not burn.

Flammable limits: Does not burn.

Autoignition temperature: Not applicable. Does not burn.

Hazardous combustion products: Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of: carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen chloride, phosgene, nitrogen oxides (NOx), other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material. May emit poisonous fumes.

Extinguishing media: Not Combustible. Use extinguishing media suited to burning materials. Water fog or fine spray is the preferred medium for large fires. Ensure that no spillage enters drains or water courses.

Media to be avoided: None known.

Fire-fighting instructions: If a significant quantity of this product is involved in a fire, call the fire brigade.

Protective equipment for firefighters: Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus.


6. ACCIDENT RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions: Wear full protective chemically resistant clothing including eye/face protection, gauntlets and self contained breathing apparatus. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as a minimum, protective goggles. If there is a significant chance that vapours or mists are likely to build up in the cleanup area, we recommend that you use a respirator. Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.

Environmental precautions: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Evacuate the spill area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.

Method for cleaning up: Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Absorb onto sand, vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material. If spill is too large or if absorbent material is not available, try to create a dike to stop material spreading or going into drains or waterways. Because of the toxicity of this product, special personal care should be taken in any cleanup operation. Sweep up and shovel or collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling or salvage, and dispose of promptly. Recycle containers wherever possible after careful cleaning. Refer to product label for specific instructions. After spills, wash area preventing runoff from entering drains. If a significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency services.


7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Read the label before use. Avoid all contact by mouth. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breath spray. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash face and hands before eating, drinking or smoking.

Storage: Store under lock and key. Keep in original container, tightly closed, out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from farm feeds and food stuff.
