Section 4: First-aid measures ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
INGESTION:
Moderately Toxic. May cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Symptoms may include irritation, nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea. Exposure may cause symptoms similar to those listed under "Inhalation" (see
Inhalation section).

SKIN:
Moderately Irritating. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause reddening, inflammation or
blistering. May cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Contact with heated material may
cause thermal burns. Exposure may cause symptoms similar to those listed under "Inhalation" (see
Inhalation section).

EYE:
Moderately Irritating. Direct contact may cause temporary corneal lesions. Contact with heated
material may cause thermal burns.

INHALATION:
SLIGHTLY TOXIC. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause harmful central nervous system
effects. Effects may include drowsiness, impaired balance, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and
general weakness-- "Styrene Sickness". May cause blood changes and liver damage. The
disagreeable odor and irritation of this material make inhalation of acutely toxic concentrations
unlikely.

SPECIAL TOXIC EFFECTS:
Carcinogenic determinations: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified
styrene in Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic
to humans). This classification is not based on any significant new evidence that styrene may be
carcinogenic, but rather on a revised definition for group 2B and consideration of new data on
styrene oxide.
A number of lifetime animal studies with styrene including those conducted in the NCI bioassay
program have not shown styrene to be carcinogenic.
Pre-existing medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure include, but are not limited
to, chronic respiratory and skin disease and central nervous system disorders.

******* EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID **********

INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING BECAUSE OF DANGER OF ASPIRATING LIQUID INTO LUNGS BURNING (IRRITATING)
ESOPHAGUS AGAIN.
If spontaneous vomiting monitor for breathing difficulty. Keep affected person warm and at rest.
Get immediate medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT:
Wash area of contact thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing immediately.
Place contaminated clothing in closed container for storage until laundered or discarded. If
clothing is to be laundered, inform person performing operation of contaminant's hazardous
properties. Get medical attention if irritation persists.

EYE CONTACT:
Flush immediately with large amounts of water for 20-30 minutes. Eye lids should be held away from
the eyeball to insure thorough rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation persists.

INHALATION:
Remove affected person from source of exposure. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Keep
affected person warm and at rest. Get immediate medical attention.

Section 5: Fire-fighting measures

FLASH POINT ᵒC (ᵒF): 30-35(87-95) FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION: CLASS 1C AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE,
ᵒC (ᵒF): 490 (914)
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS IN AIR (% by volume): LOWER: 1.1 UPPER: 6.1

BASIC FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Use dry chemical, all purpose or polar AFFF foam or water spray to extinguish fire. Water or foam
may cause frothing, with further application leading to boilover. Foam may have limited
effectiveness on three dimensional fires.
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers, structures and to protect personnel. Use water to
flush spills away from source of ignition. Do not flush down public sewers.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Fire may produce poisonous or irritating gas, fumes or vapor. Excessive heat may trigger
polymerization of confined material. Containers may explode in heat of fire. Styrene vapors are
uninhibited and may form polymers in vents or flame arrestors of storage tanks, resulting in
stoppage of vents. Exposed firefighters should wear MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing
apparatus, with full face mask and full protective equipment.

Section 6. Accidental release measures

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
No flares, smoking, flames, sparks & other sources of ignition in hazardous area. Stop leak if you
can do it without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors.

SMALL SPILLS--Take up with sand or other noncombustible absorbent material or other sorbent known
to be compatible, then flush area with water.
LARGE SPILLS--Dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Incinerate in an approved incinerator or dispose of in a chemical dump in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Section 7. Handling and storage
Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry, isolated, well-ventilated area away from heat,
sources of ignition and incompatibles.

"Empty" containers may contain toxic, flammable/combustible or explosive residue or vapors. Do not
cut, grind, drill, weld or reuse containers unless adequate precautions are taken against these
hazards.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection EYE PROTECTION:
Wear safety glasses or chemical goggles to prevent eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses when
working with this substance. Have eye baths readily available where eye contact can occur.

SKIN PROTECTION:
Wear impervious gloves and protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Suggested protective
materials are: Polyvinyl alcohol, Polyethylene and Viton. Provide safety showers at any location
where skin contact can occur.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Use NIOSH or MSHA approved equipment when airborne exposure limits are exceeded. NIOSH/MSHA
approved breathing equipment may be required for non-routine and emergency use. Ventilation may be
used to control or reduce airborne concentrations.

Section 10. Stability and reactivity STABILITY/INCOMPATIBILITY:
Stable under normal conditions of use. Avoid contact with strong oxidizers.

HAZARDOUS REACTIONS/DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Thermal decomposition products may be hazardous. Reacts vigorously with oxidizing agents. "Empty"
containers may contain toxic, flammable/combustible or explosive residue or vapors. Do not cut,
grind, drill, weld or reuse containers unless adequate precautions are taken against these hazards.
