  • EC number: 233-296-7
  • Concentration: 100%

SECTION 4: First aid measures

Description of necessary first-aid measures

If inhaled

Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.

Following skin contact

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.

Following eye contact

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Following ingestion

Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Ingestion causes gastroenteric distress, pain, and prostration. Sensory disturbances, liver injury, and convulsions have been observed in severe intoxications. (USCG, 1999)

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Exptl Therapy: Quinamic acid, bis-(3-carboxy-5-N-dicarboxymethyl-aminomethyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinolinyl-8)-5,8-dimethyl-6,7-dihydroxyl-1,2,3,4- -tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, is a new chelating agent. Quinamic acid iv 500 mg/kg markedly reduced the mortality of acute ip poisoning of zinc sulfate, nickel chloride, cadmium chloride and uranyl nitrate in mice (p < 0.01). ... Within two weeks, treated rats showed less toxic reactions and renal /damage/ than the control rats. The activity of urinary catalase in treated rats was significatly lower than in controls.

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

If material is involved in a fire: Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty).

Other Information

Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.Do NOT take working clothes home.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
