CAS Numbers: 8002-09-3 (pine oil), 8000-41-7 (alpha-terpineol)
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention for persistent irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if safe to do so. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. Seek immediate medical assistance; give small quantity of water if person is conscious and alert. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray (fog). Do not use water jet.
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Specific Hazards: Generates hazardous vapors and combustion products such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Explosion Hazard: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air especially in unventilated areas.
Firefighting Instructions: Move containers away from fire if it can be done safely. Cool with water spray. Prevent runoff to sewers or waterways.
Personal Precautions: Wear suitable personal protective equipment—gloves, goggles, respirator. Remove sources of ignition. Ensure proper ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, surface water, or soil. Notify authorities if significant spill enters watercourse.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Contain spill. Absorb with sand, earth, inert material. Collect in suitable containers for disposal. Use non-sparking tools. Clean area thoroughly with soap and water after removal.
Handling: Handle in well-ventilated areas away from heat and open flames. Avoid breathing vapors and contact with eyes or skin. Use explosion-proof equipment.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances such as oxidizing agents and acids.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases.
Special Storage Requirements: Store away from ignition sources, keep containers upright and secure to prevent leaks.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV for pine oil; good industrial hygiene practices recommended.
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation to keep vapor concentrations below exposure limits. Use mechanical ventilation in confined spaces.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles, protective clothing. If exposure limits may be exceeded, use an appropriate NIOSH-approved respirator.
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. No eating, drinking, or smoking in work area.

Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable but may be slow in some environments.
Bioaccumulation Potential: Potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms due to moderate log Kow.
Mobility in Soil: Low water solubility limits mobility, but volatile components may disperse.
Other Adverse Effects: Large releases can be hazardous to aquatic plants and animals. Limit release to the environment.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of according to local, regional, national, and international regulations. Do not discharge into drains, surface water, or soil. Waste may require incineration under controlled conditions by licensed waste treatment companies.
