Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
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]

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

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne
concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be
protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established
using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no
-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results
are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling
values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV
STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints
combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five
-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.
However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)
Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely
allied to that of the USA.
OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
路 cause inflammation
路 cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
路 lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
路 permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
路 acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus
increasing the risk of overexposure.
Exposed individuals are reasonably expected to be warned, by smell, that the Exposure
Standard is being exceeded.
Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is determined to fall into either Class A or B.
The Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is defined as:
OSF= Exposure Standard (TWA) ppm/ Odour Threshold Value (OTV) ppm
Classification into classes follows:
Class OSF Description
A 550 Over 90% of exposed
individuals are aware by smell
that the Exposure Standard
(TLV- TWA for example) is
being reached, even when
distracted by working
activities
B 26- 550 As " A" for 50- 90% of persons
being distracted
C 1- 26 As " A" for less than 50% of
persons being distracted
D 0.18- 1 10- 50% of persons aware of

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
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.
DIBENZOYL PEROXIDE:
The recommendation for the TLV-TWA is based on the absence of subjective
symptoms of irritation of the nose and throat in humans exposed to
5.25 mg/m3. Whether this is sufficiently low to prevent cumulative effects
in man is not known.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
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
Neoprene rubber gloves.
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must
be taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin
contact.
OTHER
路 Overalls.
路 PVC Apron.
路 PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
路 Eyewash unit.
路 Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
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.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Ingestion may result in nausea, pain, vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by aspiration
may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
EYE
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
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.
SKIN
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.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin
absorption are the same as for inhalation.
INHALED
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
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.
During curing a small amount of vapour may be emitted from the small exposed
surface of the hole.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some
persons compared to the general population.
Sensitisation may result in allergic dermatitis responses including rash, itching, hives
or swelling of extremities.
Excessive exposure to styrene may occur if capsules are crushed.
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 at 10000 ppm may cause death in less than one hour.
Exposure to styrene may aggravate central nervous system disorders, chronic

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria
or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T
lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g.
contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of the
contact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitisation potential: the
distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equally
important. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more
important allergen than one with stronger sensitising potential with which few
individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are noteworthy
if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
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.

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH GUIDELINES
Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into consideration
reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for other toxic effects.
Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been suggested as an additional
standard. These have been established after a literature search for reproductive no
-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level
(LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's procedures for risk assessment for hazard
identification and dose-response assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation
of such limits. Uncertainty factors (UFs) have also been incorporated.
