action 6 Health Hazard Data
<br /> Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term posure Alcoholism and CNS,kidney,skin,or lnv ease Target Organs CNS,liver,
<br /> )adney skin Primary Entry Routes Inhalation,skin contact/absorpuon Acutt Effects.Vapor inhalation causes respiratory tract iritauon,fatigue, "
<br /> �%eaknrss confusion,dizziness, headache,dilated pupils watering eyes nervousness,insomnia.,pamsthesis,and vertigo progressing to narcotic coma
<br /> Death may result from cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation with catecholamines loss Liquid splashed in the eye causes conjunctival irritation
<br /> transient corneal damage and possible burns Prolonged sLin contact leads to drying and fissured dcrmatius Ingestion causes GI tract irritation and '
<br /> s)mptoms associated with inhalation Chronic Effects Symptoms include mucous membrane imtauon,headache,vertigo,nausea,appetite loss and
<br /> .ilcohol intolerance Repeated heavy exposure may result in encephalopathies(cerebellar ataxia and cognitive dysfunction) liver enlargement, and
<br /> kidney dystrophy(wasting away) Symptoms usually appear at workdays end;worsen at weeks end and decrease or disappear over the weekend ,
<br /> FI RST AID Eyes.Do not allow victim to rub or keep eyes lightly shut_Gently lift eyelids and flush immediately and continuously with flooding
<br /> imounts of water until transported to an emergency medical facility Consult an ophthalmologist immediately Skin Quickly remove contaminated
<br /> clothing Rinse with flooding amounts of water for at least 15 min Wash exposed area with soap and water Inhalation Remove exposed personlo
<br /> fresh air and support breathing as needed Ingestion Never give anything by mouth to an uncoriscious or convulsing person Contact a poison control e'
<br /> center and unless otherwise advised,have that conscious and alert person drink I to 2 glasses of water to dilute Do not induce vomiting because of
<br /> danger of aspiration into the lungs Gastric lavage may be indicated if large amounts are swallowed,potential toxicity needs to be weighed against
<br /> aspiration risk when deciding for or against gastric lavage Dote to Physicians Monitor cardiac function If indicated,use epinephrine and other
<br /> catecholammes carefully,because of the possibility of a lowered myocardial threshold to the arrhythmogenic effects of such substances Obtain CBC '
<br /> electrolytes,and unnalysis Monitor arterial blood gases If toluene has>0 02%(200 ppm)benzene,evaluate for potential benzene toxicity BEI
<br /> hippunc acid in urine,sample at shift end(2.5 g/g creatinine),Toluene in venous blood,trample at shift end(1 0 mg/L)
<br /> Section 7, Spill, Leak,and Disposal Procedures
<br /> Spill/Leak Notify safety personnel,isolate and ventilate area,deny entry,and stay upwind Cleanup personnel protect against inhalation and skin/eye ,
<br /> contact_Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors but it may not prevent igruuon in closed spaces Ceilosolve,hycar absorbent materials and
<br /> fluorocarbon water can also be used for vapor suppress ion/con tain men L Take up small spill with earth,sand,vermiculite,or other absorbent,
<br /> noncombustible material Dike far ahead of large spills for Iater reclamation or disposal For water spills,(10 ppm or greater)apply activated carbon at
<br /> IOX the spilled amount and remove trapped material with suction hoses or use mechanical dredges/lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants '
<br /> and precipitates Toluene can undergo fluidized bed incineration at 842 to 1796'F(450 to 980'C),rotary kiln incineration at 1508 to 2912'F(820 to
<br /> 1600 C),or liquid injection incineration at 1202 to 2912'F(650 to 1600'C) Follow applicable OSHA regulations(29 CFR 1910 120) Ecotoxicity
<br /> V.ilues Blue gill,LCso= 17 mg/L124 hr;shrimp(Crangonfracis coron), L.Cso=43 ppnv96 hr,fathead minnow(Pimephales prormlas),LCSo=36 2
<br /> mg/W6 hr Environmental Degradation If released to land,toluene evaporates and undergoes microbial degradation In water toluene volatilizes '
<br /> and biodegrades with a half-life of days to several weeks In air,toluene degrades by reaction with photocherracally produced hydroxyl radicals
<br /> Disposal Treat contaminated water by gravity separation of solids,followed by skimming of surface Pass through dual media filtration and carbon
<br /> .ibsoiption units(carbon ratio 1 kg to 10 kg soluble material) Return waste water from backwash to gravity separator Contact your supplier or a
<br /> licensed contractor for detailed recommendations Follow applicable Federal,state,and local regulations '
