NZ EMERGENCY SERVICES: 111
SWALLOWED
■ Rinse mouth out with plenty of water.
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
• If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
• If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and
prevent aspiration.
• Observe the patient carefully.
• Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
EYE
■ If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
• Wash out immediately with fresh 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.
• Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
• Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
SKIN
■ If skin contact occurs:
• Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
• Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
• Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
• Avoid giving alcohol.
• If fumes, aerosols or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
• Other measures are usually unnecessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
for copper intoxication:
• Unless extensive vomiting has occurred empty the stomach by lavage with water, milk, sodium bicarbonate solution or a 0.1%
solution of potassium ferrocyanide (the resulting copper ferrocyanide is insoluble).
• Administer egg white and other demulcents.
• Maintain electrolyte and fluid balances.
• Morphine or meperidine (Demerol) may be necessary for control of pain.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
■ There is no restriction on the type of extinguisher which may be used.
• Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding area.
FIRE FIGHTING
• Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
• Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
• Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.
• Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.

MATERIAL DATA
SHELL CATALYST S-099:
None assigned. Refer to individual constituents.
ALUMINIUM OXIDE:
For aluminium oxide and pyrophoric grades of aluminium:
Twenty seven year experience with aluminium oxide dust (particle size 96% 1,2 um) without adverse effects either systemically
or on the lung, and at a calculated concentration equivalent to 2 mg/m3 over an 8-hour shift has lead to the current
recommendation of the TLV-TWA.
The limit should also apply to aluminium pyro powders whose toxicity is reportedly greater than aluminium dusts and should be
protective against lung changes.
For aluminium oxide:
The experimental and clinical data indicate that aluminium oxide acts as an "inert" material when inhaled and seems to have
little effect on the lungs nor does it produce significant organic disease or toxic effects when exposures are kept under
reasonable control.
[Documentation of the Threshold Limit Values], ACGIH, Sixth Edition.
BISMUTH(III) OXIDE:
It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent) for all substances for which there is
evidence of health effects at airborne concentrations encountered in the workplace.
At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal
experiments or clinical experience).
NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.S) does NOT apply.
Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose or throat. Historically
occupational exposure standards for these irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne
concentrations.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
• Safety glasses.
• Safety glasses with side shields.
• Chemical goggles.
• Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document,
describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and
first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of
chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at
the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed
hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent].

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
HANDS/FEET
■ No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE: Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC.
OTHER
■ No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE:
• Overalls.
• Barrier cream.
• Eyewash unit.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to
provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation
that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
■ A metallic taste, nausea, vomiting and burning feeling in the upper stomach region occur after ingestion of copper and its
derivatives.
The vomitus is usually green/blue and discolours contaminated skin.
EYE
■ The dust may produce eye discomfort causing smarting, pain and redness.
INHALED
■ 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.
If prior damage to the circulatory or nervous systems has occurred or if kidney damage has been sustained, proper screenings
should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use of the material resultin
excessive
exposures.
■ Copper poisoning following exposure to copper dusts and fume may result in headache, cold sweat and weak pulse.
Capillary, kidney, liver and brain damage are the longer term manifestations of such poisoning.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact/eye contact with the material and inhalation of generated dust.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritation and possible dermatitis following.
Copper has fairly low toxicity. Some rare hereditary conditions (Wilson disease or hepatolenticular degeneration) can lead to
accumulation of copper on exposure, causing irreversible damage to a variety of organs (liver, kidney, CNS, bone, vision) and
lead to death. There may be anaemia and cirrhosis of the liver.
