3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects
Eyes
Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and
swelling
of eyes.
Skin
May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin.
Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and cracking of skin, and skin
burns.
Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible, and may add
to toxic effects from breathing or swallowing.
Swallowing
Swallowing this material may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs
during
swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and other lung injury.
Inhalation
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing small amounts of this material
during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large
5700 Page 1 of 9
amounts may be harmful. Symptoms usually occur at air concentrations higher than
the
recommended exposure limits (See Section 8).
Symptoms of Exposure
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing,
and/or passage of the material through the skin may include: metallic taste,
mouth and throat irritation (soreness, dry or scratchy feeling, cough), stomach or
intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways),
central nervous system excitation (giddiness, liveliness, light-headed feeling)
followed by central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness,
fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness) and other central nervous system
effects, temporary changes in mood and behavior, leg cramps, muscle weakness, pain
in the abdomen and lower back, blurred vision, shortness of breath, loss of
coordination, confusion, irregular heartbeat, cyanosis (causes blue coloring of
the skin and nails from lack of oxygen), high blood sugar, visual impairment
(including blindness), coma, and death.
Target Organ Effects
This material (or a component) shortens the time of onset or worsens the liver and
kidney damage induced by other chemicals. Exposure to lethal concentrations of
methanol has been shown to cause damage to organs including liver, kidneys,
pancreas, heart, lungs and brain. Although this rarely occurs, survivors of severe
intoxication may suffer from permanent neurological damage. Prolonged intentional
toluene abuse may lead to damage to many organ systems having effects on: central
and peripheral nervous systems, vision, hearing, liver, kidneys, heart and blood.
Such abuse has been associated with brain damage characterized by disturbances in
gait, personality changes and loss of memory. Comparable central nervous system
effects have not been shown to result from occupational exposure to toluene.
Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to hearing loss progressing to
deafness. In addition, while noise is known to cause hearing loss in humans, it
has been suggested that workers exposed to organic solvents, including toluene,
along with noise may suffer greater hearing loss than would be expected from
exposure to noise alone. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has
been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals: mild,
reversible kidney effects, blood abnormalities, liver abnormalities, respiratory
tract damage (nose, throat and airways), effects on hearing, central nervous
system damage. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been
suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans: kidney damage, visual
impairment.
Developmental Information
Toluene may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test results with
laboratory animals. Case studies show that prolonged intentional abuse of toluene
during pregnancy can cause birth defects in humans. Methanol has caused birth
defects in laboratory animals, but only when inhaled at extremely high vapor
concentrations. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain.
Cancer Information
Based on the available information, this material cannot be classified with regard
to carcinogenicity. This material is not listed as a carcinogen by the
International Agency for Research on Cancer, the National Toxicology Program, or
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Other Health Effects

Primary Route(s) of Entry
Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye contact, Ingestion.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh
air. Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids
apart; seek immediate medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Swallowing
Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give
anything by mouth; place individual on the left side with the head down. Contact a
physician, medical facility, or poison control center for advice about whether to
induce vomiting. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer
oxygen. Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physicians
Inhalation of high concentrations of this material, as could occur in enclosed
spaces or during deliberate abuse, may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias.
Sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons exposed to this
material. This product contains methanol which can cause intoxication and central
nervous system depression. Methanol is metabolized to formic acid and formaldehyde.
These metabolites can cause metabolic acidosis, visual disturbances and blindness.
Since metabolism is required for these toxic symptoms, their onset may be delayed
from 6 to 30 hours following ingestion. Ethanol competes for the same metabolic
pathway and has been used to prevent methanol metabolism. Ethanol administration is
indicated in symptomatic patients or at blood methanol concentrations above 20
ug/dl. Methanol is effectively removed by hemodialysis. Fomepizole (4-
methylpyrazole) is an effective antagonist of alcohol dehydrogenase, and as such,
may be used as an antidote in the treatment of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol
and methanol poisoning. This material is an aspiration hazard. Potential danger
from aspiration must be weighed against possible oral toxicity (See Section 3 -
Swallowing) when deciding whether to induce vomiting. This material (or a
component) has produced hyperglycemia and ketosis following substantial ingestion.
Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated
by exposure to this material: skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions),
liver, kidney, central nervous system, pancreas, heart, blood-forming system, male
reproductive system, auditory system. Exposure to this material may aggravate any
preexisting condition sensitive to a decrease in available oxygen, such as chronic
lung disease, coronary artery disease or anemias. Individuals with preexisting
heart disorders may be more susceptible to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) if
exposed to high concentrations of this material.

Fire and Explosion Hazards
Material is highly volatile and readily gives off vapors which may travel along the
ground or be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, other flames,
sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors, static discharge, or other ignition
sources at locations distant from material handling point. Never use welding or
cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product (even just residue) can
ignite explosively.
Extinguishing Media
regular foam, water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated in the
positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant
personal protective equipment. Refer to the personal protective equipment section
of this MSDS.
NFPA Rating
Health - 2, Flammability - 3, Reactivity - 0
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill
Eliminate all sources of ignition such as flares, flames (including pilot lights),
and electrical sparks. Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other
absorbent material. Persons not wearing proper personal protective equipment should
be excluded from area of spill.
Large Spill
Prevent run-off to sewers, streams or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs,
notify proper authorities as required, that a spill has occurred. Persons not
wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up
has been completed. Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot
lights, electrical sparks).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers
retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given
in the data sheet must be observed. All five-gallon pails and larger metal
containers, including tank cars and tank trucks, should be grounded and/or
bonded when material is transferred. Precautions during use: avoid prolonged or
frequently repeated skin contact with this material. Skin contact can be minimized
by wearing impervious protective gloves. As with all products of this nature, good
5700 Page 4 of 9
personal hygiene is essential. Hands and other exposed areas should be washed
thoroughly with soap and water after contact, especially before eating and/or
smoking. Regular laundering of contaminated clothing is essential to reduce
indirect skin contact with this material. Hydrocarbon solvents are basically non-
conductors of electricity and can become electrostatically charged during mixing,
filtering or pumping at high flow rates. If this charge reaches a sufficiently high
level, sparks can form that may ignite the vapors or mists from process equipment
operating at elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into
vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the presence of obvious ignition
sources. Published 鈥渁uto ignition鈥? or 鈥渋gnition鈥? temperature values cannot be
treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of
the actual process conditions. Any use of this product in elevated temperature
processes should be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating
conditions.
Storage
Do not store near extreme heat, open flame, or sources of ignition.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHS regulations are advised; however,
OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Consult your safety
representative.
Skin Protection
Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier). To prevent repeated
or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protections
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see
exposure guidelines), a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in
absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other
NIOSH/MSHA
respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your
industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented
to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to
maintain exposure below TLV(s).
