<br /> No 3I7 Toluene 9192
<br /> Section-C Health Hazard Data
<br /> Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure*Alcoholism and CNS,kidney,skin,or liver disease Target Organs:CNS,liver.
<br /> kidney,skin Primary.Entry Routes:Inhalation,skin contact/absorption Acute Effects,Vapor inhalation causes respiratory tract irritation,fatigue,-
<br /> wealrness,wnfusron,dizziness,headache,dilated pupils.watering eyes,nervousness,insomnia,parastliesis,and vertigo progressing to narcotic canna
<br /> may result from cardiac arrest doe to ventricular fibrillation with catecholamines loss Liquid splashed tit the eye causes conjunctival tmtattan.~
<br /> nt corneal damage and possible bunts.Prolonged skin contact leads to drying and Fissured dermautis Ingestion causes GI tract untauon and
<br /> symptoms associated wrath inhalation Chronic Effects:Symptoms include mucous membrane untauon,headache,vertigo,nausea,appetite lona and
<br /> alcohol
<br /> into
<br /> 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 /> FIRST 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 Skin:Quickly remove contaminated-
<br /> clothing Runse with flooding amounts of water for at least 15 nun Wash exposed area with soap and water Inhalation:Remove exposed person to
<br /> fresh air and support breathing as needed Ingestion:Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person Contact a potson control
<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.Note to Physicians:Monitor cardiac function If indicated,use epinephrine and other-
<br /> catecholamines carefully,because of the possibility of a lowered myocardia}threshold to the arrhythmogenic effects of such substances Obtain CBC,
<br /> electrolytes,and urinalysis Monitor arterial blood gases If toluene has>0 02%(200 ppm)benzene,evaluate for potential benzene toxicity BFI.

<br /> Section 7. Spill,Eeak,and Disposal Procedures
<br /> SpM(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 ignition in closed spaces Cellosolve,hycar absorbent materials,and
<br /> fluorocarbon water can also be used for vapor suppression/containment Take up small spill with earth,sand,vermiculite,or other absorbent,
<br /> noncombustible material Dike far ahead of large spills for later reclamation or disposal.For water spills,(10 ppm or greater)apply activated carbon at
<br /> 10X the spilled amount and remove trapped maternal with suction hoses or use mechanical dredges/lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants--
<br /> and precipitates Toluene can undergo fluidized bed tnctnenition at 842 to 1796'F(450 to 980 4C),rotary kiln incineration at 1508 to 2912'F(820 to
<br /> 1600'0 or liquid injection mcmeration at 1202 to 2912'F(650 to 1600'C) Follow applicable OSHA regulations(29 CFR 1910 120) Ecotoxicity
<br /> Values:Blue gill.LC50= 17 mg/Ll24 hr,shrimp(Crangonfracia coron),LC50=4 3 ppm/96 hr,fathead minnow(Prmephales promelas),use=362
<br /> mg/Q%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 photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals.
<br /> Disposal:Treat contarmiuded water by gravity separation of solids,followed by skimming of surface Pass through dual media filtration and carbon
<br /> absorption units(carbon ratio 1 kg to 10 kg soluble material) Retum 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

<br /> Section 8. Special Protection Data
<br /> Goggles:Wear protective eyeglasses with shatter-resistant glass and side-shields or chemical safety goggles,per OSHA eye-and face-protection
<br /> regulations(29 CFR 1910.133) Because contact lens use in industry is controversial,establish your own policy Respirator.Seek professional
<br /> advice prior to respirator selection and use.Follow OSHA respirator regulations(29 CFR 1910 134)and.if necessary,wear a MSHAAGOSH-
<br /> approved respirator For<1000 ppm,use any chemical cartridge respirator with appropriate organic vapor cartridges,any supplied-=sespu tar--
<br /> (SAR),or SCBA For<2000 ppm,use any SAR operated in continuous-flow mode,any SAR or SCBA with a full facepnece,or any car-punfymg
<br /> respirator with a full facepiece havmg a chin-style,front or back mounted organic vapor canister For emergency or nonroutine operations(clearang
<br /> spills,reactor vessels,or storage tanks).wear an SCBA Warning/Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficied etnmarpheres.
<br /> If respirators are used.OSHA requires a written respiratory protection program that includes at least.medical certification,training,fit-testing,
<br /> periodic environmental momtorrng,maintenance,inspection,cleaning.and convenient,sanitary storage areas Other:Wear chemically protective
<br /> gloves,boots,aprons,and gauntlets to prevent elan contact.Polyvinyl alcohol with a breakthrough time of>8 hr.Teflon and Viton are recom-
<br /> mended as suitable materials for PPE.Ventilation:Provide general and local exhaust ventilation systema to matntain airborne ooncontratmons below.-
<br /> the OSHA PEts(Sec 2) Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling n at its-
<br /> solu r (I')Safety Stations:Maltz available in the work area emergency eyewash stations,safety/quick-drench showers.and washing facilities.-
<br /> Contaminated Equipment:Separate contuniinated work clothes from street clothes and launder before reuse.Remove toluene from your shoes and
<br /> clean PPB Comments:Never eat.drink.or smoke in work arms.Practice good personal hygiene after using this rratenal,especially before eating,
<br /> drinking,smoking,using the toilet,nor applying cosmetics.

<br /> Storage Requirements:Prevent physical damage to containers Store in a cool,drywell-ventilated area away from ignition sources and>rn man
<br /> patibles Outside or detached storage n preferred.If stored inside.use a standard flammable liquids warehouse,room,or cabinet.To prevent static;.
