======================SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA ======================
ROUTE OF ENTRY:Inhalation, Skin, Eyes, & Ingestion
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Irritation of eyes, skin, respiratory tract. Prolonged inhalation may lead to mucous membrane irritation, fatigue, drowsiness,
dizziness and/or lightheadedness, headache, uncoordination, nausea. Prolonged or repeated contact
can cause dermatitis, defatting, blurred vision, tearing of eyes, possible vomiting, diarrhea, central nervous system
depression, anesthetic effect or narcosis, difficulty of breathing, blood abnormalities, corneal injury, liver damage,
kidney damage.
Notice: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent
brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may
be harmful or fatal. A recent report (1991) states: "Sniffing of toluene by pregnant women has also resulted in
prenatal toluene exposure in infants, and there are a number of case reports of effects such as intrauterine growth retardation
among infants of mothers with such exposures."
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Move person to will ventilated area.
Get emergency medical attention.
Administer oxygen or artificial respiration if necessary.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush from skin with water, then wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
EYE CONTACT: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get emergency
medical attention.
INGESTION: Get emergency medical attention.

====================SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES =================
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
* Eliminate all sources of ignition.
* Ventilate area with explosion-proof equipment.
* Small spills may be collected with absorbent materials.
* Use non-sparking tools.
* Evacuate all unnecessary personnel.
* Large spills - observe steps for small spills. Shut off leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill. Pump to
storage or salvage vessels. Use absorbent material to pick up excess residue. Keep salvage material and
rinse water, cut off sewers or water courses. Comply with all applicable regulations for health and pollution
control.
