SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Emergency Overview Appearance: Liquid,Green in Color DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE. MAY AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM CAUSING DIZINESS, HEADACHE OR NAUSEA. CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE SKIN AND REPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY DRY SKIN AND CAUSE DERMATITUS AND BURNS. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin Absorbtion, Skin Contact, Eye Contact, Ingestion. Eye Contact: Can cause severe eye irritation. Symtoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Can injure eye tissue. Skin Contact: Can cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness and burning of skin, and other skin damage. 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. Ingestion: Swallowing this material 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. It is possible to breathe this material under certain conditions of handling and use (for example, during heating, spraying, or stirring). Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful. Aggravated Medical Condition 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, pancreas, Heart, blood-­‐forming system, male reproductive system, auditory system, Exposure to this material may aggravate any preexisting condition sensitive to a decrease in available oxygen, such as chronic lung disease, coronary artery disease or anemias., 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 , redness of the skin, stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), Cough, discomfort in the chest, Lung irritation, 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, temporary changes in mood and behavior, effects on memory, muscle cramps, Lowered blood pressure, pain in the abdomen and lower back, respiratory depression (slowing of the breathing rate), Blurred vision, Shortness of breath, Lack of coordination, confusion, Difficulty in breathing, irregular heartbeat, cyanosis (causes blue coloring of the skin and nails from lack of oxygen), Bloody urine, blood abnormalities (breakage of red blood cells), narcosis (dazed or sluggish feeling), lung edema (fluid buildup in the lung tissue), kidney damage, liver damage, visual impairment (including blindness), coma. Target Organs: Acute lethal exposure to ethylene glycol monobutyl ether in animal studies has resulted in congestion of organs including kidney, spleen, and lung., Exposure to this material (or a component) has been found to cause kidney damage in male rats. The mechanism by which this toxicity occurs is specific to the male rat and the kidney effects are not expected to occur in humans., Breathing isopropanol vapors has caused damage to the lining of the middle ear in experimental animals. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain., Exposure to lethal concentrations of methanol has been shown to cause damage to organs including liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart, lungs and brain. Although this rarely occurs, survivors of severe intoxication may suffer from permanent neurological damage., Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to damage to many organ systems having effects on: central and peripheral nervous systems, vision, hearing, liver, kidneys, heart and blood. Such abuse has been associated with brain damage characterized by disturbances in gait, personality changes and loss of memory. Comparable central nervous system effects have not been shown to result from occupational exposure to toluene., Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to hearing loss progressing to deafness. In addition, while noise is known to cause hearing loss in humans, it has been suggested that workers exposed to organic solvents, including toluene, along with noise may suffer greater hearing loss than would be expected from exposure to noise alone., Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals:, mild, reversible spleen effects, blood abnormalities, cardiac sensitization, anemia, effects on male fertility, nasal damage, respiratory tract damage (nose, throat, and airways), testis damage, kidney damage, liver damage, central nervous system damage, effects on hearing, central nervous system damage, Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans:, central nervous system effects, kidney damage, visual impairment Carcinogenicity: Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. n-­‐Propanol caused an increased cancer incidence in rats when administered by injection or by placing the material into the stomach. Problems with these studies, including inadequate evaluation of the data, prevent their use in evaluating n-­‐propanol for carcinogenicity. n-­‐Propanol is not listed as carcinogenic by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
