**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water. Causes burns. Harmful
by inhalation. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. Vapours may
cause drowsiness and dizziness.Water-reactive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May be absorbed through the skin. Not expected to
cause an allergic skin reaction.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause effects similar to
those for inhalation exposure. Aspiration of material into the lungs
may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May cause central
nervous system depression.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation of high
concentrations (>200 ppm) of toluene are clearly associated with CNS
encephalopathy, headache, depression, lassitude (weakness,
exhaustion), impaired coordination, transient memory loss, and
impaired reaction time.
Chronic:
Repeated exposure in combination with constant, loud noise can
produce hearing loss and dizziness. Chronic hydrocarbon abuse (for
example, sniffing glue or light hydrocarbons such as contained in
this material) has been associated with irregular heart rhythms and
potential cardiac arrest. Toluene abuse has been linked with kidney
disease, as evidenced by blood, protein, & pus in the urine,
accompanied by elevated serum creatinine, decreased urinary output, &
metabolic & renal tubular acidosis. Although kidney toxicity has not
been common in cases of occupational toluene exposure, there has
been at least one report of renal toxicity following a 40-year
occupational toluene exposure. Toluene does not cause the severe
injury to the bone marrow that is characteristic of benzene
poisoning.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately.
Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If inhaled, remove to fresh air.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Causes cardiac sensitization
to endogenous catelcholamines which may lead to cardiac arrhythmias.
Do NOT use adrenergic agents such as epinephrine or
pseudoepinephrine.
**** 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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. During a fire, irritating and
highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion. Water Reactive. Material will react with water and may
release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Flammable liquid and vapor.
May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Vapors are heavier than
air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors
can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
May accumulate static electricity.
Extinguishing Media:
Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. DO NOT USE WATER! Do NOT
get water inside containers. Contact professional fire-fighters
immediately.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Do not expose spill to
water. Use only non-sparking tools and equipment. Control runoff and
isolate discharged material for proper disposal.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof
equipment. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container
tightly closed. Do not allow contact with water. Use only in a
chemical fume hood. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open
flames. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area. Water free
area. Store under nitrogen.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.
