This ciossification is <br />not based on any Significant new evidenco that styrene can be carcinogenic, but rather on 0 rev- <br />ised definition for group 213 and consideration of new data on styrene oxide. A number of life time <br />animal studies with styrene including those conducted in the NCI bioassay Program have not <br />shown styrene to be carcinogenic. <br />SENSITIZING CAPABILITY. None Known. <br />CARCINOGENICITY NTP CARCINOGEN: No. IARC MONOGRAPHS. No. OSHA REGULATED: No. <br />TERATOGENIC17Y AND EMBRYOTO)UCITY., Not Available. <br />REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: Not Available, <br />MUTAGENICITY: Not Available. <br />TOXICOLOGICALLY SYNERGISTIC PRODUCTS., None Known. <br />MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE, Anesthesia, respiratory tract <br />Irritation, dermatitis, nausea and vomiting. <br />STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Eliminate ignition sources. Provide <br />good ventilation or wear appropriate breathing apparatus. Absorb small spills with nonflammable <br />absorbent. Contain spills by diking with nontiammable absorbent. Notify environmental agency. <br />WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Reclaim or dispose of through a licensed waste disposal company acc-- <br />ording to Federal, Provincial and Local regulations, <br />PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING.
