PERMETHRIN SMOKE GENERATOR Safety Data Sheet FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice: Remove contaminated, soaked clothing immediately and dispose of safely. Eye contact: Immediately irrigate with clean water, holding the eyelids apart, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain immediate medical attention. Skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash skin immediately with water, followed by soap and water. Such action is essential to minimise contact with skin. Contaminated clothing should be laundered before re-issue. Apply Vitamin E cream or simple toilet milks.

Ingestion: If swallowed wash out mouth with water, seek medical advice immediately and show the container, label or this Data Sheet, if possible. Do not induce vomiting. Medical advice Symptoms: Local: After skin contact: paresthesia (local). May cause skin and eye irritation. Inhalation may provoke the following symptoms: irritation, cough. Symptoms: Systemic: excitement, gastrointestinal discomfort, tremor, Dizziness, headache, listlessness, nausea and vomiting, epigastric pain, muscular fasciculation of limbs, unconsciousness, convulsions and coma (very high doses). Risks: This product/preparation contains a pyrethroid. Must NOT be confused with organophosphorus compounds. Treatment: Local treatment: Initial treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. After eye contact: Instillation of local anaesthetic drops e.g. 1% Amethocaine Hydrochloride eye drops. Give Analgesics as necessary. Treatment: Systemic treatment: Endotracheal intubation should be done and gastric lavage performed, followed by administration of charcoal. Monitoring of respiratory and cardiac functions. ECG – monitoring (Electrocardiogram). Check for pulmonary oedema in event of inhalation. Keep airway clear, administer artificial respiration if necessary. Against convulsions: Give diazepam: for adults 5-10mg intravenously as necessary until fully sedated; for children 2.5mg i.v. There is no antidote. Contraindication: atropine Contraindication: derivatives of adrenaline. Recovery: Spontaneous. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Highly flammable. Ignites readily. Oxidising agent; may assist combustion. Keep fire exposed containers cool by spraying with water. Extinguishing media: For small fires, use foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder extinguishant. For large fires, use foam or water-fog; avoid use of water jet. Contain run- off water with, for example, temporary earth barriers. Protective Equipment: A self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing should be worn in fire conditions. PERMETHRIN SMOKE GENERATOR Safety Data Sheet ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Ensure suitable personal protection during removal of spillages. This means wearing a facemask that gives protection against toxic dusts, eye protection, chemically resistant gloves (e.g. 0.6 mm nitrile), boots and coveralls. See also Section 8. Clean up methods: Cover spillage with moist sand or soil. Transfer to a container for disposal. Wash the spillage area with water. Washings must be prevented from entering surface water drains. Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be alerted to the appropriate regulatory body. HANDLING AND STORAGE
