**** 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. Toxic to
aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the
aquatic environment. Vapours may cause drowsiness and
dizziness.Water-reactive.Air sensitive.
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:
Harmful if inhaled. 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:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. 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:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. 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.
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. Will burn if involved in a
fire. Water Reactive. Material will react with water and may release
a flammable and/or toxic gas. Flammable liquid and vapor. 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. This liquid floats on water and may travel to a
source of ignition and spread fire. May accumulate static
electricity.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry chemical to fight fire. DO NOT USE WATER!
**** 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.
Provide ventilation. Use only non-sparking tools and equipment.
Control runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal.
Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors and protect personnel.
**** 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. 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. Do
not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container.
Flammables-area. Corrosives 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.
