鈥? If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
鈥? Observe the patient carefully.
鈥? Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious
鈥? Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
鈥? Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
鈥? Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
鈥? Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
鈥? Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to styrene:
INHALATION:
鈥? Severe exposures should have cardiac monitoring to detect arrhythmia.
鈥? Catecholamines, especially epinephrine (adrenaline) should be used cautiously
(if at all).
鈥? Aminophylline and inhaled beta-two selective bronchodilators (e.g. salbutamol)
are the drugs of choice for treatment of bronchospasm.
INGESTION:
鈥? Ipecac syrup should be given for ingestions exceeding 3ml (styrene)/kg.
鈥? For patients at risk of aspiration because of obtundation, intubation should
precede lavage.
鈥? 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]

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.

INGREDIENT DATA
STYRENE:
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 m鲁 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.

NOTE: This product contains negligible amount of respirable dust.

鈥? Safety glasses with side shields.
鈥? Chemical goggles.
鈥? 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

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
The material is discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and harmful if
swallowed.
Ingestion may result in nausea, pain, vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by
aspiration may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
EYE
The material is highly discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing pain
and severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possible permanent
impairment of vision, if not promptly and adequately treated.
The vapour is discomforting to the eyes if exposure is prolonged.
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
The material is highly to the skin if exposure is prolonged and may cause drying
of the skin, which may lead to dermatitis.
The material is capable of causing skin sensitisation and allergic skin
reactions.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour inhalation exposure. Symptoms for
skin absorption are the same as for inhalation.
Bare unprotected skin should not be exposed to this material.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles,
scaling and thickening of the skin.
INHALED
The vapour is highly discomforting to the upper respiratory tract.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Not considered an irritant through normal use.
During curing a small amount of vapour may be emitted from the small exposed
surface of the hole.
Inhalation of high concentrations of gas/vapour causes lung irritation with
coughing and nausea, central nervous depression with headache and dizziness,
slowing of reflexes, fatigue and inco-ordination.
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition such as

asthma, bronchitis, emphysema.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact/absorption and
inhalation of vapour i.e. styrene. Exposure occurs only when glass container is
broken during initial mixing and application. Little vapour hazard during curing
is likely from the small exposure surface of the hole. High vapour
concentrations may have a toxic and anaesthetic effects, which may lead to
unconsciousness or death. At 400-1000 ppm, the vapour may produce systemic
effects such as dizziness, nausea and headache. Exposure at 1000 ppm can rapidly
lead to unconsciousness. Exposure to styrene may aggravate central nervous
system disorders, chronic respiratory disease, skin disease, kidney disease and
liver disease.
