Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician:

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity:
Fish toxicity: LC50 red killifish (seawater) no mortality occured at saturation (unspecified duration). LC50 red killifish (freshwater) 20 mg/l (unspecified duration) (Onitsuka,S. et al Chemosphere 1989, 18(7-8), 1621-1631).
Invertebrate toxicity: Untreated retort waters were highly toxic to Nitzschia clostirium, growth inhibited by concentration as low as 0.01% of retort water in sea water. Aliphatic acids are one of the many toxic components of retort waters (Mann,K.
et al Fuel 1987, 66(3), 404-407).
