|
|
Signs and Symptoms
|
Eye irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blurred vision. Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blisters. If material enters lungs, signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, shortness of breath, and/or fever. The onset of respiratory symptoms may be delayed for several hours after exposure. Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light- headed ness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death. Auditory system effects may include temporary hearing loss and/or ringing in the ears.

Advice to Physician |
Potential for chemical pneumonitis. Consider: gastric lavage with protected airway, administration of activated charcoal. Potential for cardiac sensitisation, particularly in abuse situations. Hypoxia or negative inotropes may enhance these effects. Consider: oxygen therapy. Call a doctor or poison control center for guidance. |
Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel.
Specific Hazards :The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and distant ignition is possible. Will float and can be reignited on surface water. Carbon monoxide may be evolved if incomplete combustion occurs.
Extinguishing Media :Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Unsuitable Extinguishing :Do not use water in a jet.
Media Protective Equipment for :Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Firefighters Additional Advice :Keep adjacent containers cool by spraying with water.
Protective measures : Isolate hazard area and deny entry to necessary or unprotected personnel. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risks. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Use appropriate containment (of product and fire fighting water) to avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or entering drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Attempt to disperse the vapour or to direct its flow to a safe location for example by using fog sprays. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment. Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly.
Clean Up Methods : For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or safe disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely. For small liquid spills ( 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means to a labelled, sealable container for product recovery or safe disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
Additional Advice : Notify authorities if any exposure to the general public or the environment occurs or is likely to occur. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and distant ignition is possible. Vapour may form an explosive mixture with air.

Handling
|
Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid breathing vapor. Use non-sparking type tools and equipment. Since emptied containers retain product residue(vapor, liquid, solid) follow all MSDS and label warnings even after container is emptied. Operators should wear antistatic footwear and clothing. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace
|
|
Storage |
Store and use with adequate ventilation. There must be no sources of ignition. All electrical equipment in storage areas must be explosion-proof. Save in cool, dry and well ventilated place. Check regularly for leaks. Prevent static electricity and keep away from combustible materials or heat sources. By specifying a storage area for carcinogenic substances. |
A. Exposure limit value :
1) ACGIH :
- TLV-TWA : 100ppm(Xylene)
- TLV-STEL : 150ppm (Xylene)
2) OSHA : Not available
B. Engineering control : Adequate ventilation(localize ventilation) should be provided in workplaces. Use non sparking tools. A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures above the Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the source
C. Personal protective equipment
1) Respiratory protection : If required to control exposure, use only suitable respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH. Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, Respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider warning properties before use. Any chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s). Any chemical cartridge respirator with a full facepiece and organic vaporcartridge(s). Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor canister. For Unknown Concentration or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health : Any supplied-air respirator with full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece.
2) Eye protection - Wear approved chemical safety glasses or goggles where eye exposure is reasonably probable. Eye wash fountain is recommended.
3) Hand protection - Butyl rubber gloves are recommended.
4) Skin / Body protection - Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing.
