<br /> tion 6 Health Hazard Data
<br /> edlcal Conditions Aggravated by Long Term Exposure Alcoholism and CN5,kidney Ari.or Inver discaic Target Organs CNS, liver,
<br /> kidney skit Primary Entry Routes Inhalation skin contact/absorption Acute Effects Vapor inhalation cause rcsptratnry tract irritation, fatigue,
<br /> weakness confusion,dizziness,headache,ddaiad pupds watering eyes nervousness,insomnia,parasthests,and verugo progressing to narcotic coma
<br /> th may result frost cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation with catecholamines loss Liquid splashed in the eye causes conjunctival i ritatiom
<br /> hent corneal damage and possible burrs Prolonged skit contact leads to drying and fissured dermiautis Ingestion causes GI tract imtation and
<br /> orris associated with inhalation Cbronic Effects Symptoms include mucous membrane urination headache,vertigo,nausea appetite loss and
<br /> I intolerance Repeatod heavy exposure may result in encephalopathies(cerebellar ataxia and cognitive dysfuncuon),liver enlargement,and
<br /> drncy dystrophy(wasting away) Symptoms usually appear at workdays end,worsen at weeks end and decrease or disappear over the weekend
<br /> RST AID Eyes Do not allow victim to rub or keep eyes tightly shut.Gently lift eyelids and flush immediately and continuously with flooding
<br /> amounts of water until transported to an emergency medical facility Consult an ophthalmologist immediately SkLn Qrsrcltfy 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 person to
<br /> sh au and support breathing as needed Ingestion Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person Contact a poison control
<br /> m"and unless otherwise advised.,have that conscious and alert person drink 1 to 2 glasses of water to dilute Do not induce vorruting because of
<br /> ager of aspiration into the lungs Gastric lavage may be indicated if large amounts are swallowed,potential toxicity needs to be weighed against
<br /> a rpuration risk when deciding for or against gastric lavage.Note to Physk-Laos. Monitor cardiac function U indicated,use epinephrine and other
<br /> techolamines carefully,because of the possibility of a lowered myocardial threshold to the arrhythmogenic effects of such substances Obtain CBC,
<br /> krtrolytes,and urinalysis Monitor arwrnal blood gases If toluene has>0 02%(200 ppm)berizem evaluate for potential benzene tonicity 13EI
<br /> ppunc acid in urine,sample at shift end(2.5 gig creattune),Toluene in venous blood,sample at shift end(1 0 mg/L)
<br /> itan 7. Spill,Leak,and Disposal Procedures
<br /> pWIL eak Notify safety personnel,isolate and ventilate area,deny entry,and stay upwind Cleanup personnel protect against inhalation and skinleye
<br /> intact.Use water spray to cool and dispme vapors but it may not prevent ignition in closed spaces Cellosolve,hycar absorbent materials,and
<br /> fluorocarbon water can also be used for vapor suppress torilcontalnment.Take up small spin with earth,sand,vermiculite,or other absorbent,
<br /> noncombustible material Like far ahead of large spills for later reclamation or disposal For water spills,(10 ppm or greater)apply activated carbon at
<br /> OX the spilled amount and remove trapped material with suction hoses or use mechanical dredges/lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants
<br /> precipitates Toluene can undergo fluidized bed incuncration at 842 to 1796'F(450 to 990'C),rotary kiln incineration at 1508 to 2912'F(820 to
<br /> 600'C) or liquid injection incineration at 1202 to 2912'F(650 to 1600'C) Follow applicable OSHA regulations(29 CFR 1910 120) Erotoxlclt7

<br /> biodegrades with a Half-life of days to several weeks In ear,toluene degrades by reaction with photechemucally produced hydroxyl radicals
<br /> posal.Treat conumurated water by gravity separation of solidsmss
<br /> ,followed by sbming of surface.Pathrough dual media filtration and carbon
<br /> orption units(carbon ratio l kg to 10 kg soluble material) Return waste water from backwash to gravity separator Contact your supplier or a
<br /> ised contractor for detalled recommendations Follow applicable Federal,state,and local regulations
