7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
electrical classification requirements. Static electricity may accumulate and create a fire hazard. All storage
containers, including containers such as drums, cylinders and IBC鈥檚, must be bonded and grounded during
filling and emptying operations. Store away from oxidizers and reactive materials. Keep container tightly
closed. Observe all federal, state and local regulations and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Codes which pertain to the specific local conditions of storage and use, including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106
and NFPA 30, 70, 77, and 497.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures below airborne exposure limits. Provide ventilation
if necessary to control exposure levels below airborne exposure limits (see below). If practical, use local
mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment. Consult
ACGIH ventilation manual or NFPA Standard 91 for design of exhaust systems.
Eye / Face Protection
Where there is potential for eye contact, wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing equipment
immediately available.
Skin Protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves to prevent skin
contact. Consult glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type glove material for given application.
Wear chemical goggles, a face shield, and chemical resistant clothing such as a rubber apron when
splashing may occur. Rinse immediately if skin is contaminated. Remove contaminated clothing promptly
and wash before reuse. Clean protective equipment before reuse. Provide a safety shower at any location
where skin contact can occur. Wash skin thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. When airborne exposure limits are exceeded (see below), use NIOSH
approved respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components. Full facepiece
equipment is recommended and, if used, replaces need for face shield and chemical goggles. Consult
OSHA Standard (29 CFR 搂 1910.10 to determine required type equipment for given application. Observe
respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and other conditions
where exposure limit may be significantly exceeded, use an approved full face positive-pressure, self-
contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply.
Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 搂 1910.134.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological Information
Data on this material and/or a similar material are summarized below.
Toluene
Intentional exposures by repeated inhalation ("glue sniffing") have resulted in brain damage. Recent studies
with pregnant women addicted "glue sniffing" suggest an increased risk for fetal injury, although the significance
of this gross exposure (>10,000 ppm) may have little relevance in the industrial setting.
This material has been administered to several animal species by various routes of exposure. Repeated oral
administration produced liver and kidney changes, digestive tract irritation and blood changes (rat). Repeated
skin application produced lung irritation and damage (rat), blood changes (rat, mouse), minor liver changes

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
(mouse, rat, rabbit), decreased resistance to lung infection (mouse), and various brain effects including subtle
behavioral changes and hearing loss (mouse, rat). In long-term inhalation studies with rats and mice, no
evidence of carcinogenic effects was reported. In rats, toxic effects were limited to the nasal cavity. Application
to the skin of mice showed no treatment related tumor growth or significant tumor promoting activity.Birth
defects were reported in rats exposed by oral administration at levels that produced no adverse effects in the
mother.
Birth defects were reported in rats exposed by inhalation, but only at levels that produced adverse effects on the
mothers. A similar study reported no birth defects in rats and mice exposed by inhalation at levels that
produced adverse effects and mortality in the mothers and toxic effects in the offspring. No treatment related
effects on survival or reproductive parameters were observed when two generations of mice were exposed by
inhalation. Generally, no genetic changes were observed in tests using bacteria, animal cells or animals.
Several questionable studies using animals or human cells have produced both positive and negative results.
