No 317 4186 TOLUENE
<br /> SECTION 6. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION JTLV
<br /> a uene is not considered a carcinogen by the ,orapors o Glue=may cause
<br /> irritation of the eyes,nose, upper respiratory tract, and skin Exposure: to 200 ppm for 8 hours causes mild fatigue,
<br /> weakness, confusion, lacrimation (tearing) and paresthesia (a sensation of prickling, tingling,or creeping on the skin that
<br /> has no objective cause) Exposure to higher conerri tions may cause headache,nausea,dizziness, dilated pupils, and
<br /> euphoria, and, to severe cases,may cause unconsciousness and death The liquid is irritating to the eyes and skin Contact
<br /> with the eyes may cause insistent corneal damage, conjunctival rotation, and bums if not promptly removed Repeated
<br /> and/or prolonged contact with the skin may cause drying and cracking It may be absorbed through the skin in toxic
<br /> amounts Ingestion causes untation of the gastrointestinal tract and may cause effects resembling those from inhalation of
<br /> the vapor Chronic overexposure to toluene may cause reversible kidney and liver injury FIRST AID EYE CON.7. .ACT
<br /> Immediately flush eyes,including under eyelids,with running water for at least 15 minutes Get medical attention if irritation
<br /> persist• SKIN CONTACT Immediately flush skin (for at least 15 minutes) while removing contaminated shoes and
<br /> clothing Wash exposed area with soap and water Get medical attention if irritation persists or if a large arra has been
<br /> exposed• INHALATION Remove victim to fresh air Restore and/or support breathing as required Keep victim warm and
<br /> quiet.Get medical help* INGESTION Give victim 1 to 2 glasses of water or milk Contact a poison control center Do not
<br /> induce vomiting unless directed to do so Transport victim to a medical facility Never give anything by mouth to a person
<br /> who is unconscious or convulsing * GET MEDICAL.ASSISTANCE a In plant,paiarnedic,community Get medical help
<br /> for further treatment,observation, and support after first aid,if indicated
<br /> SECTION 7. SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
<br /> SPIt 1/l EAK Notify safety personnel of large spills or leaks Remove all sources of heat and ignition Provide maximum
<br /> explosion-proof ventilation Lunt access to spill arra to necessary personnel only Remove leaking containers to safe
<br /> place if feasible Cleanup personnel need protection against contact with liquid and inhalation of vapor(see sect. 8)
<br /> WASTE DISPOSAL Absorb small spills with paper towel or vermtcuhte Contain large spills and collect if feasible,or
<br /> absorb with vermiculite or sand. Place waste solvent or absorbent into closed contan ers for disposal using nonsparinag
<br /> tools Liquid can be flushed with water to an open holding arra for handling Do not flush to sewer, watershed, or waterway
<br /> QQMME S Place in suitable container for disposal by a licensed contractor or burn in an approved incinerator Consider
<br /> reclaiming by distillation Contaminated absorbent can be burred in a sanitary landfill Follow all Federal, state, and local
<br /> regulations TLm% 100-10 ppm. Toluene is designated as a hazardous waste by the EPA The EPA (RCRA) HW No is
<br /> U220 (40 CFR 261) The reportable quantity(RQ) is 10001bs/454 lig(40 CFR 117)
<br /> SECTION 8. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
<br /> Provide general and local exhaust ventilation to meet TLV requirements Ventilation fans and other electrical service must be
<br /> nonsparking and have an explosion-proof design Exhaust hoods should have a face velocity of at least 100 lfm(linear feet
<br /> per minute) and be designed to capture heavy vapor For emergency or nonroutine exposures where the TLV may be exceeded,
<br /> use an organic chemical cartridge respirator if concentration is less than 200 ppm and an approved canister gas mask or self-
<br /> contained
<br /> elfcontained breathing apparatus with full facepiece if coaccotration is greater than 200 ppm.
<br /> Safety glasses or splash goggles should be wom in all work areas Neoprene gloves, apron,face shield, boots, and other
<br /> appropriate protective clothing and equipment should be available and worn as necessary to prevent skin and eye contact.
<br /> Remove contaminated clothing immediately and do not wear it until it has been properly laundered
<br /> Eyewash stations and safety showers should be readily available in use and handling areas
<br /> Contact lenses pose a special hazard, soft lenses may absorb irritant and all lenses concentrate them.
<br /> SECTION 9. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND COMMENTS
<br /> STORAGE SEGREGATION Store in a cool,dry,well-ventilated area away from oxidizing agents,heat, sparks, or open flame
<br /> Storage areas must meet OSHA requirements for class IB flammable liquids Use metal safety cans for handling small amount
<br /> Protect containers from physical damage Use only with adequate ventilation Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing Do
<br /> not inhale or ingest. Ucc caution when handling this compound because it can be absorbed through intact slun in toxic
<br /> amounts SPECIAL 1 yNDLiNGISTORAGE Ground and bond metal containers and equipment to prevent static sparks when
<br /> making transfers Do not smoke in use or storage arras Use nonsparking tools ENGINEERING CONTROLS Preplacement
<br /> and periodic medical exams emphasizing the liver,kidneys,nervous system, lungs, heart, and blood should be provided
<br /> Workers exposed to concentrations greater than the action level (50 ppm) should be examined at least once a year Use of
<br /> alcohol can aggravate the toxic effect of toluene
<br /> CQMMENT Emptied containers contain product residues Handle accordingly'
<br /> Toluene is designated as a hazardous substance by the EPA (40 CFR 116) DOT Classification Flammable liquid UN1294
