<br /> EuitingulsbIng Nacres:Toluene is a Class l H flammable liquid.To fight fire,use dry chemical carbon dioxide,or'akohol-resistant'foam Water

<br /> damage-93%of inhaled toluene is reuCwed in the body of which 80%is metabolized to benzoic acid,then to hippuria acid and excreted in urine.
<br /> The remainder is metabolized to o�esol and excreted or exhaled unchanged.Toluene metabolism is inhibited by alcohol ingestion and is synexgis'

<br /> Toluene is absorbed quicker during exercise than at rest and appears to be retained longer in obese versus thin victims;presumably due to r
