May cause an allergic skin reaction

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance: liquid WARNING! FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. MAY AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM CAUSING DIZZINESS, HEADACHE OR NAUSEA. MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION. MAY CAUSE SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY DRY SKIN AND CAUSE DERMATITIS AND BURNS. ASPIRATION HAZARD IF SWALLOWED - CAN ENTER LUNGS AND CAUSE DAMAGE. MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye Contact, Ingestion Eye contact Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Skin contact Can cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness and burning of skin, and other skin damage. May cause allergic skin reaction. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and drying and cracking of skin, skin burns, and other skin damage. Individuals with direct skin contact with methyl methacrylate have experienced temporary loss of feeling and mild nerve damage in the fingers. Ingestion Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and other lung injury. Inhalation Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful. Symptoms are not expected at air concentrations below the recommended exposure limits, if applicable (see Section 8.).Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Symptoms are not expected at air concentrations below the recommended exposure limits, if applicable (see Section 8.). Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material:, Skin, Upper respiratory tract, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), Liver, Kidney, Central nervous system, male reproductive system, auditory system, Individuals with preexisting heart disorders maybe more susceptible to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) if exposed to high concentrations of this material. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, and/or passage of the material through the skin may include:, metallic taste, redness of the skin, stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), Cough, central nervous system excitation (giddiness, liveliness, light-headed feeling) followed by central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness) and other central nervous system effects, effects on memory, loss of appetite, sleep disturbances, Lowered blood pressure, respiratory depression (slowing of the breathing rate), Shortness of breath, Lack of coordination, confusion, pain in the hands and feet, irregular heartbeat, narcosis (dazed or sluggish feeling), kidney damage, liver damage, coma, Exposure to this product (or a component) may cause an allergic reaction (narrowing of the air passages of the lungs resulting in difficult breathing, tightness in the chest, coughing and wheezing) in some sensitive individuals. Other symptoms of an allergic reaction may include itchy and watery eyes, runny and stuffy nose, sweating, flushing, hives, rapid heart rate, and lowered blood pressure., Difficulty in breathing, irritability Target Organs Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals:, cardiac sensitization, respiratory tract damage (nose, throat, and airways), testis damage, effects on hearing, nasal damage, kidney damage, liver damage, Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans:, mild effects on color vision, effects on hearing, respiratory tract damage (nose, throat, and airways), central nervous system effects Carcinogenicity Styrene is listed as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). Reproductive hazard This material (or a component) has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in laboratory animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain., This material (or a component) may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test results with laboratory animals.

Further information

Styrene readily reacts with low concentrations of halogens (for example, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) to forma tear-producing substance.
