First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.
Skin Contact: Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. If irritation or rash occurs, consult a physician.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Get medical advice if irritation persists.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Drink water if conscious and alert. Call a poison center or doctor right away.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire.
Specific Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air. Containers may rupture due to pressure buildup during intense fire.
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Avoid breathing vapors and combustion products.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, Smoke, Irritating fumes

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area. Remove ignition sources. Use personal protective equipment including gloves and goggles. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas. Alert authorities as needed.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Absorb spill with non-combustible material such as sand or earth. Collect residues in a suitable container for disposal. Clean contaminated surface with detergent and water.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Ground and bond containers and equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Avoid skin and eye contact. Wash hands before breaks and after handling.
Storage: Store in tightly closed, original containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Protect from sunlight, heat, and ignition sources.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizers
Storage Temperature: Keep below 25°C

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for pine oil; use good industrial hygiene practice.
Ventilation: Ensure adequate local exhaust. Use mechanical ventilation if needed.
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles or face shield.
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile rubber recommended), long sleeves, aprons.
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirators for airborne exposure if ventilation is not adequate.
General Hygiene: Wash hands, forearms, and face after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: May cause mild toxic effects if swallowed, irritant to skin and eyes. LD50 (oral, rat): 3200 mg/kg.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Prolonged exposure causes mild to moderate irritation.
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes eye irritation, possible redness, or discomfort.
Sensitization: Frequent or prolonged contact can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Chronic Effects: No available data for mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity.

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic life. High concentrations can produce toxic effects in fish and aquatic invertebrates.
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable in soil and water over time, but persistence possible at high concentrations.
Bioaccumulative Potential: Expected to have low bioaccumulation.
Mobility in Soil: Limited mobility due to low water solubility.
Other Adverse Effects: No significant ozone depletion potential reported for pine oil.

Disposal Considerations

Waste Treatment: Dispose of in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. Do not pour into drains, waterways, or soil.
Disposal Methods: Incineration or approved chemical waste facility preferred. Ensure containers are empty and rinsed before disposal recycling.
Contaminated Packaging: Treat packaging as hazardous if not properly cleaned.
