SECTION 4. First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
First aid measures
- Inhalation
- Skin/eye contact
- Skin contact
- Eye contact
- Ingestion
: Toxic if inhaled.
In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/ consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation.
In low concentrations may cause narcotic effects. Symptoms may include dizziness, headache, nausea and loss of co-ordination.
Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a doctor. Apply artificial respiration if breathing stopped.
: Remove contaminated clothing.
Obtain medical assistance.
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.
May cause chemical burns to skin and cornea (with temporary disturbance to vision).
: Remove contaminated clothing. Drench affected area with water for at least 15 minutes.
: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.
: Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
: May cause irritation to cornea (with temporary disturbance to vision).
May cause irritation to skin.
Irritation to the respiratory tract.
Refer to section 11.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
: Obtain medical assistance.
SECTION 5. Fire-fighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Extinguishing media
- Suitable extinguishing media : All known extinguishants can be used.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards
Hazardous combustion products
5.3. Advice for fire-fighters
: The decomposition temperature of ethylene oxide is 1060oF (571oC). This reaction is highly exothermic with the temperature rising from 1060oF (571oC) to 2190oF (1199oC) in only 2 milliseconds.
Exposure to fire may cause containers to rupture/explode.
: Incomplete combustion may form carbon monoxide.
Specific methods : If possible, stop flow of product.
Coordinate fire measure to the surrounding fire. Cool endangered containers with water spray jet from a protected position. Do not empty contaminated fire water into drains.
Do not extinguish a leaking gas flame unless absolutely necessary. Spontaneous/explosive re-ignition may occur. Extinguish any other fire.
Move away from the container and cool with water from a protected position.
Special protective equipment for fire : Use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically protective clothing.
fighters Use self-contained breathing apparatus.
Flammable class : Extremely flammable.
