3 - Hazards Identification
SPECIAL INDICATION OF HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water, liberating
extremely flammable gases. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with
skin and if swallowed. Causes burns.
4 - First Aid Measures
AFTER INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
AFTER EYE CONTACT
Assure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids
with fingers.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is
conscious. Call a physician.
5 - Fire Fighting Measures
CONDITIONS OF FLAMMABILITY
Catches fire if exposed to air. Reacts with water to liberate
flammable and/or explosive gas.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Suitable: Dry chemical powder.
Unsuitable: Do not use water.
Explosion Hazards: Container explosion may occur under fire
conditions.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
6 - Accidental Release Measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTION PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF LEAK OR SPILL
Evacuate area. Shut off all sources of ignition.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
Cover with dry-lime, sand, or soda ash. Place in covered
containers using non-sparking tools and transport outdoors.
Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is
complete.
7 - Handling and Storage
HANDLING
Directions for Safe Handling: Do not breathe vapor. Do not get
in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated
exposure.
STORAGE
Conditions of Storage: Keep tightly closed. Keep away from
combustible materials, heat, sparks, and open flame. Store in a
cool dry place.
Incompatible Materials: Do not allow contact with water
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: May develop pressure. Open carefully. Air
sensitive. Handle and store under inert gas.
8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use only in a chemical fume hood. Safety shower and eye bath.
GENERAL HYGIENE MEASURES
Remove and wash contaminated clothing promptly. Wash thoroughly
after handling.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Special Protective Measures: Wear appropriate government approved
respirator, chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, other
protective clothing. Faceshield (8-inch minimum).

11 - Toxicological Information
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Inhalation studies on toluene have demonstrated the development
of inflammatory and ulcerous lesions of the penis, prepuce, and
scrotum in animals. Exposure can cause: Nausea, headache, and
vomiting.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Multiple Routes: Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed
through skin. Causes burns. High concentrations are extremely
destructive to tissues of the mucous membranes and upper
respiratory tract, eyes, and skin.
TARGET ORGAN INFORMATION
Brain. Liver. Kidneys. Bladder.
CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
May cause nervous system disturbances.
12 - Ecological Information
No data available.
13 - Disposal Considerations
SUBSTANCE DISPOSAL
Under an inert atmosphere, cautiously add the material to dry
butanol in an appropriate solvent. The chemical reaction may be
vigorous and/or exothermic. Provisions must be made for the
ALDRICH - 256870 www.sigma-aldrich.com Page 3
venting of large volumes of highly flammable hydrogen and/or
hydrocarbon gases. Neutralize the solution with aqueous acid.
Filter off any solid residues for disposal as hazardous waste.
Burn the liquid portion in a chemical incinerator equipped with an
afterburner and scrubber. Observe all federal, state, and local
environmental regulations.
