<br /> Flash Point:40'F(4 4'C) CC Autolgnition Temperature:896'F(480"C) LEL: 127%v/v UEL:7 096 v/v
<br /> Extinguishing Media:Toluene is a Class 1B flammable liquid.To fight fire,use dry chemical carbon dioxide,or'alcohol-resrstant'foam.Water
<br /> spray may be ineffective as toluene floats on water and may actually spread fire Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards:Concentrated vapors an
<br /> heavier than air and may travel to an ignition source and flash back.Container may explode in heat of fire.Toluenes'burning rata a 5.7 mmhmn
<br /> and its flame speed=37 cm/sec Vapor poses an explosion hazard indoors,outdoors,and in sewers May accumulate static electricity.Special
<br /> Fire-fighting Procedures:Because fue may produce toxic thermal decomposition products.wear a self-contained breathing apparatus(SOBA)
<br /> with a full facepiece operated in pressure-demaid or positive-pressure mode.Strucutral firefighter's protective clothing provides only limited
<br /> protection.Apply cooling water to sides of umits until well after fire is ouL Stay away form ends of tanks.For massive fue in cargo weak use '
<br /> monitor nozzles or unmanned hose holden,of impossible,withdraw from fine and let bum.Withdraw mrmehately if you hear a rising sound from
<br /> venting safety device or notice any tank discoloration due to fin because a BLEVE(boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion)may be m nn unt.
<br /> Do not release runoff from fit control methods to sewers or waterways
<br /> Section 5. Reactivity Data
<br /> StabWty/Polymerization:Toluene is stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling cordrtiasis Hazardous
<br /> polymerization can't occur Chemical Incompatibilities- Strong oxidizers,concentrated nitric aced.mitre acrd+sulfuric acrd,dimtrogen tetroxide.
<br /> i silver perchlorate.bromune trifluande,tetranetromethane,and 1.3-de Jdm-5.5-dimethyl-2,4-urudawhdedione.Conditions to Avoid:Contact with
<br /> heat.ignition sourest,or uhvornpaubles Hazardous Products of Decomposition*Thermal oxidative decomposition of toluenacan produce carbon
<br /> dioude,and&and.uretatirig smoke.
<br /> Section 6. Health'Hazard Data z F
<br /> Carcinogenicity:The IARC,t 60 NTP 6%and OSHAtt")do not list toluene as&carcinogen.Summary of Risks.Toluene it moung to the eym
<br /> rom and rrspirateay tract Inhalation of lugh concentrations produces a narcotic effect sometimes leading to�coma cos well as liver and kidney
<br /> damage.93%of inhaled toluene is retained in the body of which 80%is metabolized to benzoic acid.then to htppu`ic acid and excreted in mine.
<br /> I The reminder is metabolized to o-cresolland'excreted or exhaled unchanged.Toluene metabohsin,is inhibited by alcohol ingestion and u syuergta-
<br /> tic with benzene.asphalt fumes,or chlorinated hydrocarbons(i e.pexchloroethyleoe)`Toluene is readily absorbed through the skin at 14 to 23 mg/
<br /> . ` cmz/lir Toluene is absorbed quicker during exercise than at rest and appears to be retained longer in obese versus thin victims;presmriably due to us
<br /> hpid solubility.There is inconsistent data on toluenes ability to damage baric marrow;chronic poisoning has resulted in anemia and leucopenia with
<br /> I biopsy showing Ione marrow hypo-plasm.These reports are few and some authorities argue that the effects may have beau due to beirmne,ountarm
