|
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.
Use a spark-proof tool. Do not expose spill to water.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not breathe
dust, mist, or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only in a
chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area. Corrosives
area. Water free area. Store under nitrogen.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:

Epidemiology:
No data 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.
Mutagenicity:
No data available.
Neurotoxicity:
No data available.
