SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA HAZARDS TO CLASSIFY：INFLAMMABLE TO THIRD CLASS 、CORRODE/ SKIN CONTACT TO SECOND CLASS 、EYE CONTACT TO SECOND CLASS、CANCER TO SECOND CLASS、BIOLOGY SYSTEM OF TOXICITY SUBSTANCE TO SECOND CLASS、 ENVIRONMENT TO THIRD CLASS

2.2 Label elements

WARN：DANGER WARN INFORMATION： EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Straw-yellow viscous liquid. Pungent styrene odor. Flammable. Reactive. Causes eye irritation. Highly toxic to fish and/or other aquatic organisms

Potential health effects

Refer to Section XI for toxicological data, Effects of Overexposure: for styrene EYE CONTACT: May cause moderate eye irritation. May cause slight corneal injury. Vapors may irritate eyes. Vapors may cause lacrimation (tears). SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation. Material may stick to skin causing irritation upon removal. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. If aspirated (liquid enters the lung), may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems. INHALATION: Excessive vapor concentrations are attainable and could be hazardous on single exposure. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects and result in injury to other body systems. SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Contains styrene, which, in animals, has been reported to cause effects on the following organs; central nervous system, kidney, liver and reparatory tract. Lung effects have been observed in mice following repeated exposure to styrene. Styrene is reported to have caused hearing loss in laboratory animals upon exposure to high concentrations (>600 ppm); however, the relevance of this to humans is unknown. Some studies in humans allege that repeated exposure to styrene may result in minor subclinical decreases in the ability to discriminate between colors.

Cancer information

This mixture contains a component (s) which are listed as potential carcinogens for hazard communication purposes under OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200. Component(s) listed by IARC; styrene. An increased incidence of lung tumors was observed in mice from a recent inhalation study on styrene. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain since data from other long-term animal studies and from epidemiology studies of workers exposed to styrene do not provide a basis to conclude that styrene is carcinogenic. TERATOLOGY: In laboratory animals, styrene did not produce birth defects or any other effects on the fetus even at exposure concentrations having an adverse effect on the mother. REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Contains component(s) which did not interfere with reproduction in animal studies. The component(s) is/are: styrene. OTHER：
