<br /> organs are the eyes, upper respiratory system, skin, and the CNS.
<br /> Toluene
<br /> Toluene is a colorless, aromatic liquid. Toluene may create an explosion hazard. Toluene
<br /> is incompatible with strong oxidizers. Prolonged exposure may result in fatigue, confusion,
<br /> euphoria, dizziness, headache, dilation of pupils, lacrimation, insomnia, dermatitis, or
<br /> photophobia. Routes of entry are inhalation,absorption,ingestion,and skin or eye contact.
