EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: yellow liquid. Flash Point: 4 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and
vapor. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. Breathing vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. May
be absorbed through intact skin. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can
enter lungs and cause damage. Possible risk of harm to the unborn
child. May cause central nervous system depression.
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. Vapors may cause eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin. Repeated
or prolonged exposure may cause drying and cracking of the skin. Not
expected to cause an allergic skin reaction.
Ingestion:
May cause effects similar to those for inhalation exposure.
Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May cause central nervous system
depression.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of high
concentrations (>200 ppm) of toluene are clearly associated with CNS
encephalopathy, headache, depression, lassitude (weakness,
exhaustion), impaired coordination, transient memory loss, and
impaired reaction time.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Repeated exposure in combination with constant, loud
noise can produce hearing loss and dizziness. Chronic hydrocarbon
abuse (for example, sniffing glue or light hydrocarbons such as
contained in this material) has been associated with irregular heart
rhythms and potential cardiac arrest. Toluene abuse has been linked
with kidney disease, as evidenced by blood, protein, & pus in the
urine, accompanied by elevated serum creatinine, decreased urinary
output, & metabolic & renal tubular acidosis. Although kidney
toxicity has not been common in cases of occupational toluene
exposure, there has been at least one report of renal toxicity
following a 40-year occupational toluene exposure. Toluene does not
cause the severe injury to the bone marrow that is characteristic of
benzene poisoning.
Intentional abuse of toluene vapors has been linked to damage of the
brain, liver, kidney and to death. Repeated inhalation exposure of
toluene to animals causes histological changes in the brain,
degeneration of the heart tissue, and possible immune
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a
t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately.
Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If
vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Causes cardiac sensitization to endogenous catelcholamines which may
lead to cardiac arrhythmias. Do NOT use adrenergic agents such as
epinephrine or pseudoepinephrine.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective. Material is
lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of water.
Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier than air and may
travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread
along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. This liquid
floats on water and may travel to a source of ignition and spread
fire. May accumulate static electricity.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Solid streams of water may be ineffective and spread material.
Flash Point: 4 deg C ( 39.20 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 480 deg C ( 896.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.2%
Upper: 7.1%
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 3; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition.
Provide ventilation. Use only non-sparking tools and equipment.
Control runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal.
Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors and protect personnel.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not pressurize, cut,
weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to
heat, sparks or open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Separate from oxidizing materials.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits. Ventilation fans and other electrical
service must be non-sparking and have an explosion-proof design.

Epidemiology:
No information available.
Teratogenicity:
In an epidemiologic study of toluene and pregnancy,
occupational exposures to toluene were said to be
associated with an increased incidence of renal, urinary,
gastrointestinal, and cardiac anomalies.Fetotoxicity
(reduced fetal weight), behavioural effects (effects on
learning and memory) and hearing loss (in males) were
observed in the offspring of rats exposed by inhalation to
toluene, in the absence of maternal toxicity.
Reproductive Effects:
Many reports of reproductive effects of toluene abuse or
heavy occupational exposure are confounded by mixed
solvent exposure or fetal alcohol syndrome. Women exposed
to toluene in lab work had a 4.7-fold increased risk of
spontaneous abortions.
