Ingestion
Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to
cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can get
into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and
other lung injury.
Inhalation
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing small amounts of this material
during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts
may be harmful. Symptoms are not expected at air concentrations below the
recommended exposure limits, if applicable (see Section 8.).
Aggravated Medical Condition
Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be
aggravated by exposure to this material:, skin, lung (for example, asthma-like
conditions), liver, kidney, central nervous system, blood-forming system, male
reproductive system, auditory system, Individuals with preexisting heart disorders maybe
more susceptible to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) if exposed to high concentrations
of this material.
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing,
and/or passage of the material through the skin may include:, mouth and throat irritation
(soreness, dry or scratchy feeling, cough), stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), tight feeling in the chest, central nervous
system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache,
unconsciousness), loss of appetite, respiratory depression (slowing of the breathing rate),
shortness of breath, loss of coordination, confusion, irregular heartbeat, narcosis (dazed
or sluggish feeling), coma, and death
Target Organs
Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether has been found to cause breakage of red blood
cells following ingestion in rats. Injury to other organs including liver and kidneys was
considered secondary to the effect on the blood., Overexposure to this material (or its
components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory
animals:, cardiac sensitization, testis damage, damage to the blood-forming system,
kidney damage, liver damage, male and female reproductive fertility effects, effects on
hearing, Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause
of the following effects in humans:, central nervous system effects

VV069
Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The
relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. The International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) has classified ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen.
Reproductive hazard
This material (or a component) has been shown to cause birth defects in
laboratory animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the
pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain., Diethylene
glycol monobutyl ether did not cause harm to the fetus when given orally or when
applied to the skin in laboratory animal studies.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into
fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids
apart; seek immediate medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with large amounts of water.
If skin is damaged, seek immediate medical attention. If skin is not damaged and
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.

Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give
anything by mouth; place individual on the left side with the head down. Contact a
physician, medical facility, or poison control center for advice about whether to induce
vomiting. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.
Notes to physician
Hazards: Inhalation of high concentrations of this material, as could occur in
enclosed spaces or during deliberate abuse, may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias.
Sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons exposed to this
material. This material is an aspiration hazard. Potential danger from aspiration must be
weighed against possible oral toxicity (See Section 2 - Swallowing) when deciding
whether to induce vomiting. Diglycol ethers may cause acidosis.
Treatment: No information available.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media
Water mist, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical
Hazardous combustion products
May form:, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbons
Precautions for fire-fighting
Material is volatile and readily gives off vapors which may travel along the
ground or be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, flames, sparks, heaters,
smoking, electric motors, static discharge or other ignition sources at locations near the
material handling point. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty)
because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively.Wear full firefighting turn-out
gear (full Bunker gear), and respiratory protection (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire
exposed containers and structures until fire is out if it can be done with minimal risk.
Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling purposes.

Personal precautions
For personal protection see section 8. Persons not wearing protective equipment
should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed.
Environmental precautions
Prevent run-off to sewers, streams or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs,
notify proper authorities as required, that a spill has occurred.
Methods for cleaning up
Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent material.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied
containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions
given in the data sheet must be observed. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact. Static
ignition hazard can result from handling and use. Electrically bond and ground all
containers, personnel and equipment before transfer or use of material. Special
precautions may be necessary to dissipate static electricity for non-conductive containers.
Use proper bonding and grounding during product transfer as described in National Fire
Protection Association document NFPA 77.
Storage
Do not store near extreme heat, open flame, or sources of ignition.

General advice
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product.
Personal protective equipment should be selected for individual applications and should
consider factors which affect exposure potential, such as handling practices, chemical
concentrations and ventilation. It is ultimately the responsibility of the employer to
follow regulatory guidelines established by local authorities.
Exposure controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to
maintain exposure below TLV(s).
Eye protection
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised;
however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Consult your safety
representative.
Skin and body protection
Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier).
To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory protection
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see
exposure guidelines), a NIOSH-approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of
proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH respirators
(negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your industrial hygienist).
Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
