<br /> SECTION 6. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION ITI,V
<br /> l olucnc is not consiacreo a carcinogen by = Ni r,IARC, or WriA. SL �"�"" �~ 'vapors o" toluene may cause
<br /> irritation of the eyes, nose, upper respiratory tract, and skin. Exposure to 207 ppm for 8 hours causes mild fatigue,
<br /> weakness, confusion, lacrimation (tearing) and paresthesia(a sensation of prickling, tingling,or crisping on the skin that
<br /> has no objective cause). Exposure to higher concentrations may cause headache, nausea, dizziness,dilated pupils, and
<br /> euphoria, and, in severe cases,may cause uuconsciousuess and death. The liquid is irritating to the eyes and skin. Contact
<br /> with the eves may cause transient conical damage, conjunctival irritation, and burns if not promptly removed. Repeated
<br /> and/or prolonged contact with the skin may cause drying and cracking. It may be absorbed through the skin in toxic
<br /> amounts. Ingestion causes irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and may cause effects resembling those from inhalation of
<br /> the vapor. Chronic overexposure to toluene may cause reversible kidney and liver injury. FIRST AID: EYE M. NTACL:
<br /> Immediately flush eyes, including under eyelids,with running water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation
<br /> persists.* SKIN CANT--ACT: Immediately flush skin (for at least 15 minutes)while removing contaminated shoes and
<br /> clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists or if a large area has been
<br /> exposed." INHA.ATION: Remove victim to fresh air. Restore and/or support breathing as required.Keep victim warm and
<br /> quiet. Get medical help.' INGESTION: Give victim I to 2 glasses of water or milk. Contact a poison control center. Do not
<br /> induce vomiting unless directed to do so.Transport victim to a medical facility. Never give anything by mouth to a person
<br /> who is unconscious or convulsing. ' GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE = In plant,paramedic,community. Get medical help
<br /> for further treatment, observation, and support after first aid, if indicated.
<br /> SECTION 7. SPILL, LEAK. AND TISP.OS L1 P . OCEDURES
<br /> 211111YAK: Notify safety personnel of large spills or leaks. Remove all sources of heat and ignition. Provide maximum
<br /> explosion-proof ventilation. Limit access to spill area to necessary personnel only. Remove leaking containers to safe
<br /> place if feasible. Cleanup personnel need protection against contact with liquid and inhalation of vapor(see secL 8),
<br /> W Absorb small spills with paper towel or vermiculite. Contain large spills and collect if feasible,or
<br /> absorb with vermiculite or sand. Place waste solvent or absorbent into closed containers for disposal using nonsparking
<br /> tools. Liquid can be flushed with water to an open holding area for handling. Do not flush to sewer, watershed, or waterway.
<br /> CMME.NTS: Place in suitable container for disposal by a licensed contractor or burn in an approved incinerator.Consider
<br /> reclaiming by distillation.Contaminated absorbent can be buried in a sanitary landfill. Follow all Federal, state, and local
<br /> regulations. TLm 96: 100-10 ppm Toluene is designated as a hazardous waste by the EPA. The RPA(RCRA) HW No. is
<br /> U220 (40 CFR 261). The reportable quantity(RQ)is IOW lb.V454 kg(40 CFR 117).
<br /> SECTION S. SPECIAL PROTECTION`LNFORMATION
<br /> Provide general and local exhaust ventilation to meet TLV requirements.Ventilation fans and other electrical service must be
<br /> nonsparking and have an explosion-proof design. Exhaust hoods should have a face velocity of at least 100 Ifm(linear feet
<br /> per minute) and be designed to capture heavy vapor. For emergency or nonroutine exposures where the TLV may be exceeded,
<br /> use an organic chemical cartridge respirator if concentration is less than 207 ppm and an approved canister gas mask or self-
<br /> contained breathing apparatus with full facepiecc if concentration is greater than 200 ppm.
<br /> Safety glasses or splash goggles should be worn in all work areas. Neoprene gloves, apron, face shield, boots, and other
<br /> appropriate protective clothing and equipment should be available and wom as necessary to prevent skin and eye contact
<br /> Remove contaminated clothing immediately and do not wear it until it has been properly laundered.
<br /> Eyewash stations and safety showers should be readily available in use and handling areas.
<br /> Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate them
<br /> SECTION 9. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND COMMENTS
<br /> STORAGE SEGREGATION: Stort in a cool, dry,well-ventilated area away from oxidizing agents, heat, sparks, or open flame.
<br /> Storage areas must meet OSHA requirements for class IL3 flammable liquids.Use metal safety cans for handling small amounts.
<br /> Protect containers from physical damage. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Do
<br /> not inhale or ingest- Use caution when handling this compound because it can be absorbed through intact skin in toxic
<br /> amounts. ,S°r-CIA,J V N—MI–IINGIST_OR_AGE: Ground and bond metal containers and equipment to prevent static sparks when
<br /> making transfers. Do not smoke in use or storage areas. Use nomparking tools. EN'G1NEERiNG COI.TROIS: Preplacement
<br /> and periodic medical exams emphasizing the liver, kidneys, nervous system lungs, heart, and blood should be provided.
<br /> Workers exposed to concentrations greater than the action level (50 ppm) should be examined at least once a year. Use of
<br /> alcohol can aggravate the toxic effects of toluene.
<br /> COMMxNTS: Emptied containers contain product residues. Handle accordingly!
<br /> Toluene is designated as a hazardous substance by the EPA (40 CFR 116). DOT Class cation: Flzmmable liquid. UN1294.
