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, an 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 this material may be harmful.
Symptoms usually occur at air concentrations higher than the recommended
exposure limits (See Section 8).
CP 20 Page 1 of 9
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, blood in the urine, blood
abnormalities (breakage of red blood cells), kidney damage, liver damage, visual
impairment (including blindness), coma, and death.
Target Organ Effects
Acute lethal exposure to ethylene glycol monobutyl ether in animal studies has
resulted in congestion of organs including kidney, spleen, and lung. 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, irreversible 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. Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether has been shown to
cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of these findings to humans is
uncertain.

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. Seek
immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing,
begin artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
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. 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: respiratory tract, skin,
lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), liver, kidney, central nervous system,
pancreas, heart, blood-forming 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 volatile and readily gives off vapors which may travel along the ground
or be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, 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 (such as AFFF), water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear full firefighting turn-out gear (full bunker gear), and respiratory protection
(SCBA).
NFPA Rating

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. Static ignition hazard can result from handling
and use. Electrically bond and ground all containers, personnel and equipment before
transfer or use of material. Special precautions may be necessary to dissipate
static electricity for non-conductive containers. Use proper bonding and grounding
during product transfer as described in National Fire Protection Association
document NFPA 77. 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 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 of flammable liquids. Warning. Sudden release of hot organic
CP 20 Page 4 of 9
chemical 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
Under oxidation conditions, peroxides may be formed. If they become concentrated,
these peroxides may present an explosion hazard. 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 OSHA 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).
