EYE IRRITATION. LIQUID IN EYE CAUSES CONJUNCTIVAL IRRITATION, TRANSIENT
CORNEAL DAMAGE WITH POSSIBLE BURNS. PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT LEADS TO DRYI NG,
DEFATTING, AND DERMATITIS. SKIN ABSORBTION IS POSSIBLE. HARMFUL IF INGESTED.
MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, KIDNEY AND LIVER DAMAGE. VAPOR

Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: ALCOHOLISM AND CNS, KIDNEY, SKIN, OR LIVER
DISEASE.
First Aid: GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH
AIR AND SUPPORT BREATHING AS NEEDED. EYE CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH
FLOODING AMOUNT OF WATER UNTIL TRANSFERRED TO AN EMERGENCY ME DICAL FACILITY.
CONSULT AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: QUICKLY REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING. RINSE SKIN WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. WASH EXPOSED AREA WITH SOAP
AND WATER. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUC E VOMITING. UNLESS PHYSICIAN ADVISES
OTEHRWISE, HAVE THAT CONSCIOUS AND ALERT PERSON, DRINK 1-2 GLASSES OF WATER
TO DILUTE. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
UNCONSCIOUS PERS ON.
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. ELIMINATE SOURCES OF
IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA. DO NOT WALK THROUGH SPILL; STOP SPILL IF POSSIBLE.
USE A VAPOR SUPPRESSING FOAM TO REDUCE VAPORS. CONTAIN AND PICK UP WITH NON
-FLAMMABLE ABSORBENT SUCH AS SAND, VERMICULITE. GROUND ALL HANDLING
EQUIPMENTS. PREVENT LIQUID FROM ENTERING SEWERS, WATERWAYS, CONFINED SPACES.
Waste Disposal Methods: DISPOSE OF WASTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE, AND
FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS. TREAT CONTAMINATED WATER BY GRAVITY SEPARATION
OF SOLIDS, FOLLOWED BY SKIMMING OF SURFACE. PASS THROUGH DUAL MEDIA F
ILTRATION AND CARBON ABSORPTION UNITS. RETURN WASTE WATER FROM BACKWASH TO
GRAVITY SEPARATOR. RECYCL E IF POSSIBLE.
Handling And Storage Precautions: STORE IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. STORE IN COOL
PLACE. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED. STORE IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL FIRE
PROTECTION ASSOCIATION REGULATIONS. KEEP AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT, IGNITION
S OURCES, AND INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. CONTAINERS SHOULD BE BOUNDED AND
GROUNDED FOR TRANSFERS.
Other Precautions: CHECK THAT TOLUENE HAS LESS THAN 1% BENZENE BEFORE USE.
CONSIDER PERIODIC MEDICAL EXAMS OF EXPOSED WORKERS. MONITOR AIR AT REGULAR
INTERVALS. FLAMMABLE. EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUES AND CA N BE
DANGEROUS. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. DO NOT GET
IN EYE, ON SKIN OR ON CLOTHING.

Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Flash Point Method: CC
Flash Point: =4.4C, 40.F
Autoignition Temp: =480.C, 896.F
Lower Limits: 1.27% V/V
Upper Limits: 7.0 % V/V
Extinguishing Media: IS A CLASS 1B FLAM. LIQUID. USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON
DIOXIDE, OR "ALCOHOL-RESISTANT" FOAM. WATER SPRAY MAY BE INEFECTIVE AS
TOLUENE FLOATS ON WATER AND MAY ACTUALLY SPREAD FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures: BECAUSE FIRE MAY PRODUCT TOXIC TERMAL DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS, WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) WITH A FULL
FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE-DEMAND OR POSITIVE-PRESURE MODE. STRUCTURA
L FIREFIGHTER'S PROTECTIVE CLOTHING PROVIDES ONLY LIMITED PROTECTION. APPLY
COOLING WATER TO SIDES OF TANKS UNTIL WELL
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: CONCENTRATED VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY
TRAVEL TO AN IGNITION SOURCE AND FLASH BACK. CONTAINER MAY EXPLODE IN HEAT OF
FIRE. TOLUENES' BURNING RATE = 5.7 MM/MIN AND ITS FLAME SPEED = 37 CM/SEC .
VAPOR POSES AN EXPLOSION HAZARD INDOORS, OUTDOORS, AND IN SEWERS. MAY
ACCUMULATE STATIC ELECTRICITY.
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
Respiratory Protection: NONE REQUIRED WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION CONDITIONS
EXIST. IF AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION IS HIGH, WEAR A NIOSH-APPROVED ORGANIC VAPOR
RESPIRATOR. IN EMERGENCY, WEAR A NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHI NG
APPARATUS OR SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATOR. FOLLOW OSHA RESPIRATORY REQ. (29 CFR
1910.134).
Ventilation: PROVIDE GENERAL AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SYSTEMS TO MAINTAIN
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE OSHA PELS. LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS
PREFERRED.
Protective Gloves: NEOPRENE, RUBBER, NITRILE
Eye Protection: EYEGLASSES SHATTER-RESISTANT GLASS & SIDE-SHIELDS OR CHEMICAL
SAFETY GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment: CHEMICALLY PROTECTIVE BOOTS, APRONS, AND GAUNTLETS
TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. POLYVINYL ALCOHOL WITH A BREAKTHROUGH TIME OF >8 HR
TEFLON AND VITON ARE RECOMMENDED FOR PPE. EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATIONS
Work Hygienic Practices: SEPERATE CONTAMINATED WORK CLOTHES FROM STREET CLOTHES
AND LAUNDER BEFORE REUSE. REMOVE TOLUENE FROM YOUR SHOES. NEVER EAT DRINK, OR
SMOKE IN WORK AREAS. PRACTICE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE.
Supplemental Safety and Health: NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: MONITOR CARDIAC FUNCTION. IF
INDICATED, USE EPINEPHRINE CAREFULLY, BECAUSE OF POSSIBILITY OF A LOWERED
MYOCARDIAL THRESHOLD TO ARRHYTHMOGENIC EFFECTS OF SUCH SUBSTANCES. OBTAIN
CBC, ELECTROLYTES AND URINALYSIS. MONITOR ARTERIAL BLOOD GASES. IF TOLUENE
HAS >0.02% BENZENE, EVALUATE ITS TOXCITY.
