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 usually occur at the air concentrations higher than the recommended exposure limits. REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: This material (or a component) may cause harm to the human fetus based on tests with laboratory animals. CARCINOGENICITY: Ethylene Benzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. IARC has classified ethyl benzene as a possible human carcinogen.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing 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, CNS, blood- forming system, male reproductive system, auditory system. Individuals with pre-existing heart disorders maybe more susceptible to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) if exposed to high concentrations of this material. TARGET ORGAN STATEMENT: May worsen or shorten the time of onset liver and kidney damage induced by other chemicals. Exposure to MEK increases onset of peripheral neuropathy caused by exposure to MBK. Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to damage to: CNS, vision, hearing, liver, kidneys, heart and blood.
