TOLUENE IS A COLORLESS LIQUID WITH A STRONG HYDROCARBON ODOR. TOLUENE IS A
VOLATILE AND EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRES. KEEP
AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS OR FLAME. NEVER SIPHON THIS PRODUCT BY MOUTH. IF
SWALLOWED, TOLUENE MAY GET SUCKED INTO THE LUNGS (ASPIRATED) AND CAUSE
LUNG DAMAGE OR EVEN DEATH.
OSHA WARNING LABEL:
DANGER!
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
ASPIRATION (INADVERTENT SUCTION) OF LIQUID INTO THE LUNGS
CAN PRODUCE CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA OR EVEN DEATH.
EYE IRRITATION MAY RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID OR EXPOSURE TO VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE THE TLV.
PROLONGED OR REPEATED LIQUID CONTACT CAN DEFAT THE SKIN AND LEAD TO IRRITATION AND/OR DERMATITIS.
OVEREXPOSURE OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOWER CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. GROSS OVEREXPOSURE CAN CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, PRODUCING SYMPTOMS OF NAUSEA, NARCOSIS, INCOORDINATION, DISTURBANCE OF VISION AND LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. EXCESSIVE TOLUENE EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE CARDIAC SENSITIZATION.
LIQUID INGESTION CAUSES GASTROINTESTINAL PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. ASPIRATION (INADVERTENT SUCTION) OF VOMITUS INTO THE LUNGS MUST BE AVOIDED AS EVEN SMALL QUANTITIES IN THE LUNGS CAN PRODUCE CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS, PULMONARY EDEMA/HEMORRHAGE AND EVEN DEATH.
THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAS CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF TOLUENE IN EITHER HUMANS OR ANIMALS (GROUP 3).
PRE-EXISTING EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY DISORDERS (E.G. ASTHMA) MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO TOLUENE.
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF SYMPTOMS OR IRRITATION OCCUR, CALL A PHYSICIAN.
WASH WITH SOAP AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF SYMPTOMS OR IRRITATION OCCUR, CALL A PHYSICIAN.
IF AFFECTED, MOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, ADMINISTER OXYGEN. IF NOT BREATHING OR IF NO HEARTBEAT, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION OR CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR). IMMEDIATELY CALL A PHYSICIAN.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DO NOT GIVE LIQUIDS. IMMEDIATELY CALL A PHYSICIAN.

THIS MATERIAL HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A FLAMMABLE LIQUID. VAPORS MAY TRAVEL ALONG THE GROUND OR BE MOVED BY VENTILATION AND IGNITED BY MANY SOURCES SUCH AS PILOT LIGHTS, SPARKS, ELECTRIC MOTORS, STATIC DISCHARGE, OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES AT LOCATIONS DISTANT FROM MATERIAL HANDLING. FLASHBACK MAY OCCUR ALONG VAPOR TRAIL. FOR ADDITIONAL FIRE RELATED INFORMATION, SEE NFPA 30 OR NORTH AMERICAN EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDE 130.
FOR SMALL FIRES, CLASS B FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SUCH AS CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM (AFFF/ATC) OR WATER SPRAY CAN BE USED. FOR LARGE FIRES, WATER SPRAY, FOG OR FOAM (AFFF/ATC) CAN BE USED. FIRE FIGHTING SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED ONLY BY THOSE WHO ARE ADEQUATELY TRAINED AND EQUIPPED WITH PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
AVOID USE OF STRAIGHT WATER STREAMS. WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE IN EXTINGUISHING LOW FLASH POINT FIRES, BUT CAN BE USED TO COOL EXPOSED SURFACES. AVOID EXCESSIVE WATER SPRAY APPLICATION. WATER SPRAY AND FOAM (AFFF/ATC) MUST BE APPLIED CAREFULLY TO AVOID FROTHING AND FROM AS FAR A DISTANCE AS POSSIBLE. KEEP RUN-OFF WATER OUT OF SEWERS AND WATER SOURCES.
ISOLATE AND EVACUATE AREA. SHUT OFF SOURCE IF SAFE TO DO SO. ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. ADVISE NATIONAL RESPONSE CENTER (800-424-8802) IF PRODUCT HAS ENTERED A WATERWAY. NOTIFY LOCAL HEALTH AND POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCIES, IF APPROPRIATE. CONTAIN LIQUID WITH SAND OR SOIL. RECOVER AND RETURN FREE LIQUID TO PROPER CONTAINERS. USE SUITABLE ABSORBENT MATERIALS SUCH AS VERMICULITE, SAND OR CLAY TO CLEAN UP RESIDUAL LIQUIDS.
COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE OSHA, NFPA AND CONSISTENT LOCAL REQUIREMENTS. USE APROPRIATE GROUNDING AND BONDING PRACTICES. STORE IN PROPERLY CLOSED CONTAINERS THAT ARE APPROPRIATELY LABELED AND IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT EXPOSE TO HEAT, OPEN FLAME, STRONG OXIDIZERS OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. DO NOT CUT, DRILL, GRIND OR WELD ON EMPTY CONTAINERS SINCE THEY MAY CONTAIN EXPLOSIVE RESIDUES. AVOID REPEATED AND PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT. EXERCISE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE INCLUDING REMOVAL OF SOILED CLOTHING AND PROMPT WASHING WITH SOAP AND WATER. NEVER SIPHON THIS PRODUCT BY MOUTH. HYDROCARBON LIQUIDS ARE BASICALLY NON-CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY AND CAN BECOME ELECTROSTATICALLY CHARGED DURING MIXING, FILTERING OR PUMPING AT HIGH FLOW RATES. IF THIS CHARGE REACHES A SUFFICIENTLY HIGH LEVEL, SPARKS CAN FORM THAT MAY IGNITE THE VAPORS OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. SUDDEN RELEASE OF HOT ORGANIC CHEMICAL VAPORS OR MISTS FROM PROCESS EQUIPMENT OPERATING AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE, OR SUDDEN INGRESS OF AIR INTO VACUUM EQUIPMENT, MAY RESULT IN IGNITIONS WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF OBVIOUS IGNITION SOURCES.
LOCAL OR GENERAL EXHAUST REQUIRED IN AN ENCLOSED AREA OR WITH INADEQUATE VENTILATION.
APPROVED ORGANIC VAPOR CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE OR SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATORS SHOULD BE WORN FOR EXPOSURES EXCEEDING THE TLV OR STEL. OBSERVE RESPIRATOR PROTECTION FACTOR CRITERIA CITED IN ANSI Z88.2. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE USED FOR FIRE FIGHTING.
USE VITON OR VITON/NEOPRENE GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT.
NO SPECIAL EYE PROTECTION IS NORMALLY REQUIRED. WHERE SPLASHING IS POSSIBLE, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS.
USE EXPLOSION-PROOF EQUIPMENT.

DELIBERATE INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF TOLUENE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE LIVER, KIDNEY AND BRAIN DAMAGE AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS (INCOORDINATION, LASSITUDE AND MEMORY LOSS) IN INDIVIDUALS ABUSING TOLUENE FOR ITS EUPHORIC EFFECTS. EXPOSURE OF PREGNANT RATS AND MICE DURING GESTATION TO TOLUENE PRODUCED SOME MATERNAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY (DECREASED FETAL WEIGHT AND INCREASED SKELETAL VARIATIONS). TOLUENE PRODUCED A MID FREQUENCY HEARING LOSS IN RATS SUBCHRONICALLY EXPOSED TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF TOLUENE. DECREASED LEARNING CAPABILITY AND DEFICITS IN OPERANT BEHAVIOR HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN ANIMALS SUBJECTED TO EXPOSURE REGIMENS THAT GENERALLY EXCEED ESTABLISHED TLV'S.
TOLUENE IS TOXIC TO MANY AQUATIC ORGANISMS. THE AQUATIC 96 HOUR TLM IS 10- 100 PPM. THERE IS NO POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATION IN THE FOOD CHAIN.
THIS PRODUCT AS SUPPLIED IS NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED AS AN EPA RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE ACCORDING TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS (40 CFR 261-271). HOWEVER, WHEN DISCARDED, SPILLED OR DISPOSED OF, IT MAY MEET THE CRITERIA OF RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE (U220). THIS MATERIAL MAY ALSO MEET THE CRITERIA OF AN "IGNITABLE" HAZARDOUS WASTE (D001). THIS PRODUCT COULD ALSO CONTAIN BENZENE AT >0.5 PPM AND COULD EXHIBIT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF "TOXICITY" (D018) AS DETERMINED BY THE TOXICITY LEACHING PROCEDURE (TCLP). THIS MATERIAL COULD ALSO BECOME A HAZARDOUS WASTE IF MIXED OR CONTAMINATED WITH A LISTED HAZARDOUS WASTE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO DETERMINE IF DISPOSAL MATERIAL IS HAZARDOUS ACCORDING TO FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
