Effects of Exposure: CANCER HAZARD. CONTAINS STYRENE WHICH IS LISTED AS A LUNG
  CARCINOGEN (FP N). EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: FOR STYRENE: EYES: CAN CAUSE
  SEVERE IRRITATION, REDNESS, TEARING, BLURRED VISION. SKIN: PROLONGEDOR
  REPEATED CONTACT CAN CAUSE MODERATE IRRITATION, DEFATTING, DERMATITIS.
  BREATHING: EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF VAPORS CAN CAUSE NASAL IRRITATION,
  DIZZINESS, WEAKNESS, FATIGUE, NAUSEA, HEADACHE, POSSIBLE  UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND
  EVEN ASPHYXIATION. SWALLOWING: CAN CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION, NAUSEA,
  VOMITING, DIARRHEA. ASPIRATION OF MATERIAL INTO THE LUNGS CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL
  PNEUMONITIS.
  IARC DETERMINATION IS BASED ON LIMITED EVIDENCE IN ANIMALS & OTHER
  "RELEVANT"  DATA. IARC CONCEDES THERE IS INADEQUATE EVIDENCE ON HUMANS FOR
  ITS FINDINGS. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE RESULTS FOR HUMANS HAS NOT BEEN

Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: REFER TO HEALTH HAZARDS ACUTE AND CHRONIC
  (FP N).
First Aid: IF ON SKIN: THOROUGHLY WASH EXPOSED AREA WITH SOAP & WATER.
  REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. IF
  IN EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER, LIFTING UPPER & LOWE R LIDS
  OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF SWALLOWED: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
  KEEP PERSON WARM, QUIET & GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. ASPIRATION OF MATERIAL
  INTO LUNGS DUE TO VOMITING CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL  PNEUMONITIS WHICH CAN BE
  FATAL. IF BREATHED: IF AFFECTED, REMOVE INDIVIDUAL TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING
  IS DIFFICULT, ADMINISTER OXYGEN. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL
  RESPIRATION. KEEP PERS ON WARM QUITE, & GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Handling and Disposal
*
Spill Release Procedures: SMALL SPILL: ABSORB LIQUID ON PAPER, VERMICULITE,
  FLOOR ABSORBENT OR OTHER ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND TRANSFER TO HOOD.  LARGE
  SPILL: ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES (FLARES, FLAMES, INCLUDING PILOT LIGHTS
  , ELECTRICAL SPARKS). PERSONS NOT WEARING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE
  EXCLUDED FROM AREA OF SPILL UNTIL CLEAN-UP HAS BEEN COMPLETED. STOP SPILL AT
  SOURCE, DIKE AREA OF SPILL TO (TRANSPORT INFO)
Neutralizing Agent: N/P.
Waste Disposal Methods: SMALL SPILL: ALLOW VOLATILE PORTION TO EVAPORATE IN
  HOOD. ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR VAPORS TO COMPLETELY CLEAR HOOD DUCT WORK.
  DISPOSE OF REMAINING MATERIAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGULATIONS.  
  LARGE SPILL: DESTROY BY LIQUID INCINERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE
  REGULATIONS. CONTAMINATED  ABSORBENT SHOULD BE DISPOSED (OTHER PRECAUTIONS)
Handling And Storage Precautions: N/P.    SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: CONTAINERS OF
  THIS MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTIED. SINCE EMPTIED CONTAINERS RETAIN
  PRODUCT RESIDUES (VAPORS, LIQUID, AND/OR SOLID), ALL HAZARD PRECAUTIONS GIVEN
   IN THIS DATA SHEET MUST BE OBSERVED.
Other Precautions: NEVER USE WELDING OR CUTTING TORCH ON OR NEAR DRUM (EVEN
  EMPTY) BECAUSE PRODUCT (EVEN JUST RESIDUE) CAN IGNITE EXPLOSIVELY.   
  WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD (CONT): OF IN ACCORDANCE WITHLOCAL, STATE AND F EDERAL
  REGULATIONS.

Flash Point Text: SEE OTHER INFO
Extinguishing Media: REGULAR FOAM OR CARBON DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures: WATER OR FOAM MAY CAUSE FROTHING WHICH CAN BE VIOLENT
  & POSSIBLY ENDANGER THE LIFE OF THE FIREFIGHTER, ESPECIALLY IF SPRAYED
  INTO CONTAINERS OF HOT BURNING LIQUID. WEAR (NIOSH APPROVED - FP N) SCBA WI
  TH A FULL FACE-PIECE OPERATED IN PRESSURE DEAMND OR OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE
  MODE WHEN FIGHTING FIRES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR & MAY TRAVEL
  ALONG THE GROUND OR MAY BE MOVED BY VENTILATION & IGNITED BY PILOT
  LIGHTS, OTHER FLAMES, SPARKS, HEATERS, SMOKING, ELECTRIC MOTORS, STATIC
  DISCHARGE, OR OTHER  IGNITION SOURCES AT LOCATIONS DISTANT FROM MATERIAL
  HANDLING POINT.

Respiratory Protection: IF TLV OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY COMPONENT IS EXCEEDED A
  NIOSH APPROVED AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR IS ADVISED IN ABSENCE OF PROPER
  ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL. OSHA REGULATIONS ALSO PERMIT OTHER NIOSH RESPIRATORS 
  UNDER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS. (SEE YOUR SAFETY EQUPMENT SUPPLIER.) ENGINEERING
  OR ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE EXPOSURE.
Ventilation: PROVIDE SUFFICIENT MECHANICAL (GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST)
  VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S).
  PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT)
  (WORK HYGENIC PRAC)
Other Protective Equipment: NORMAL WORK CLOTHING COVERING ARMS AND LEGS.

Toxicological Information: OVEREXPOSURE TO STYRENE HAS APPARENTLY BEEN FOUND TO
  CAUSE THE FOLLOWING EFFECTS IN LABORATORY ANIMALS: LIVER ABNORMALITIES,
  KIDNEY DAMAGE, AND LUNG DAMAGE.    EXPLANATION OF CARCINOGENICITY (CONT): E
  STABLISHED. STYRENE IS NOT EXPECTED TO CAUSE CANCER IN HUMANS AT
  CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE STANDARD OR WHEN APPROPRIATE
  INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PROCEDURES ARE FOLLOWED. MOREOVER, STUDIE S IN HUMANS

Ecological: N/P.      TOXICOLOGICAL INFO (CONT): THAT THE "CURRENT EVIDENCE ON
  STYRENE'S CARCINOGENICITY DOES NOT SUPPORT ITS CLASSIFICATION IN THE FINAL
  RULE AS A CARCINOGEN." IN THE SAME RULEMAKING, THE NATIONA L INSTITUTE FOR
  OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH (NIOSH) COMMENTED THAT THERE "SEEMS TO BE
  LITTLE BASIS FROM EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL INVESTIGATIONS OR EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES
  TO CONCLUDE AT THIS TIME THAT STY RENE IS CARCINOGENIC." THE NATIONAL
  TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM DOES NOT INCLUDE STYRENE ON ITS LIST OF CHEMICALS EXPECTED
  TO BE CARCINOGENIC.
