Carcinogenicity
A: General Product Information
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. In
testing of C-6 isomers for carcinogenicity by inhalation, there was a treatment-related increase in liver tumors (adenomas and
carinomas) in female mice at the highest dose only (9,000 ppm). There was no increase in tumor incidence in male mice or in
rats of either sex at any dose level.

Chronic Toxicity
Exposure to xylene can cause central nervous system, kidney, and liver damage. Repeated, prolonged skin contact will defat
the skin, causing drying, cracking, and dermatitis.
Neurotoxicity
Toluene is a central nervous system depressant which produces lightheadedness, nausea, headache, and ataxia at low doses
and confusion behavioral and intelligence effects, coma, and death at high doses.

Mutagenicity
Some evidence in animals exposed to toluene. Sister chromatid exchanges and chromosome aberrations were elevated in
lymphocytes from laboratory workers exposed to toluene and other solvents.
Teratogenicity
Toluene may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test results with laboratory animals. Case studies show that
prolonged intentional abuse of toluene during pregnancy can cause birth defects in humans.
