SWALLOWED
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
路 If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
路 If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if
possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
路 Observe the patient carefully.
路 Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness;
i.e. becoming unconscious
路 Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can
comfortably drink.
路 Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
路 Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
路 Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and
moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
路 Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor,
or for at least 15 minutes.
路 Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin:
路 Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
路 Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.
路 DO NOT use solvents.
路 Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
路 Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where
possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
路 Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to styrene:
INHALATION:
路 Severe exposures should have cardiac monitoring to detect arrhythmia.
路 Catecholamines, especially epinephrine (adrenaline) should be used cautiously (if at
all).
路 Aminophylline and inhaled beta-two selective bronchodilators (e.g. salbutamol) are the
drugs of choice for treatment of bronchospasm.
INGESTION:
路 Ipecac syrup should be given for ingestions exceeding 3ml (styrene)/kg.
路 For patients at risk of aspiration because of obtundation, intubation should precede
lavage.
路 Pneumonitis is a significant risk. Watch the patient closely in an upright (alert
patient) or left lateral head-down position (obtunded patient) to reduce aspiration
potential. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]

Isolation Distance 25 metres
Downwind Protection Distance 300 metres
IERG Number 14
FOOTNOTES
1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk of harmful exposure. This zone
assumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on
either side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equal
to the downwind protective action distance.
2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spill
and working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level of
vapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated and
unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects.
3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a high
probability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to
life-threatening concentrations of the material.
4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican or
box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from
a small cylinder are also considered "small spills".
LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of greater than 200 litres, such as
a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder.
5 Guide 128 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.
6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.

.
Odour Threshold: 0.017 to 1.9 with a geometric average threshold of 0.32 ppm.
NOTE:Detector tubes measuring styrene at greater than 10 ppm are available.
The recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is based on the influence of styrene
exposure on the central and peripheral nervous systems At the TWA, total
daily styrene exposure to the standard 70 kg medium-frame man who inhales
10 m3 and who retains 70% of the inspired compound is 21 mg/kg with
0.5 mg/kg absorbed through the skin. The total absorbed dose can be
increased six-fold with physical work and increased respiration rate.
Measurement of styrene and its metabolites in the urine can be an
indication of recent exposure though this approach may be limited by
factors such as the influence of alcohol consumption on styrene
pharmodynamics. Exposure at or below the TLV-TWA is thought to protect the
worker against the significant risks of narcosis, neuropathies and
irritation although other findings suggest that neuro-optical effects ar
significant amongst workers exposed at 4 ppm.
TALC:
Most health problems associated with occupational exposure to talcs appear
to evolve mostly from the nonplatiform content of the talc being mined or
milled (being the asbestos-like amphiboles, serpentines (asbestiformes)
and other minerals in the form of acicular, prismatic and fibrous
crystals including, possibly, asbestos).
Because of severe health effects associated with exposures to asbestos,

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
regulatory agencies tend to regard all elongate mineral crystal particles,
whether prismatic, acicular, fibrous, as asbestos - the only provision is
the particles have an aspect ratio (length to diameter) of 3:1 or greater.
Consideration is also given to their respirability, their width being less
than or equal to 3 碌m. Only limited data, however, exists on the health
effects of elongate mineral particles having prismatic, acicular or fibrous
(non-asbestos) forms. Experimental evidence indicates that the carcinogen
potential of mineral fibres is related to the size class with diameter of
8 碌m with shorter, thicker particles having little
biological activity.
Dust of nonfibrous talc, consisting entirely of platiform talc crystals
and containing no asbestos poses a relatively small respiratory hazard.
Difficulties exist, however, in the determination of asbestos as
cleavage fragments of prismatic or acicular crystals, nonasbestos fibres
and asbestos fibres are very similar. Subject to an accurate determination
of asbestos and crystalline silica, exposure at or below the recommended
TLV-TWA is thought to protect workers from the significant risk of
nonmalignant respiratory effects associated with talc dusts.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of
eyes
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
路 Barrier cream and Neoprene rubber gloves or Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear.
OTHER
路 Overalls.
路 Eyewash unit.
路 Barrier cream.
路 Skin cleansing cream.
Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
DO NOT spray directly on humans, exposed food or food utensils.
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing
zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined
as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Although ingestion is not thought to produce harmful effects (as classified under EC
Directives), the material may still be damaging to the health of the individual,
following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g liver, kidney) damage is
evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses
producing mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health).
Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational
setting however, ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for
concern.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting.
EYE
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause eye
irritation in a substantial number of individuals and/or may produce significant ocular
lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more after instillation into the eye(s) of
experimental animals.
Repeated or prolonged eye contact may cause inflammation characterised by temporary
redness (similar to windburn) of the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis); temporary impairment
of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may occur.
The vapour when concentrated has pronounced eye irritation effects and this gives some
warning of high vapour concentrations. If eye irritation occurs seek to reduce exposure
with available control measures, or evacuate area.
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
SKIN
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material either produces
inflammation of the skin in a substantial number of individuals following direct contact,
and/or produces significant inflammation when applied to the healthy intact skin of
animals, for up to four hours, such inflammation being present twenty-four hours or more
after the end of the exposure period. Skin irritation may also be present after prolonged
or repeated exposure; this may result in a form of contact dermatitis (nonallergic). The
dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which
may progress to blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of the epidermis. At
the microscopic level there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer of the skin
(spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC
Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds,
lesions or abrasions.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis. Histologically there
may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of
the epidermis.
INHALED
The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified by EC
Directives using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation, of the material, especially for
prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and occasionally, distress.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition such as asthma,
bronchitis, emphysema.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
On the basis, primarily, of animal experiments, concern has been expressed that the
material may produce carcinogenic or mutagenic effects; in respect of the available
information, however, there presently exists inadequate data for making a satisfactory
assessment.
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritation and
possible dermatitis following.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.

The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis. Histologically there
may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of
the epidermis.

Substances containing unsaturated carbons are ubiquitous in indoor environments. They
result from many sources (see below). Most are reactive with environmental ozone and many
produce stable products which are thought to adversely affect human health.The potential
for surfaces in an enclosed space to facilitate reactions should be considered.
