HAZARDS IDENTIFICATIONE mergency OverviewFLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. MAY BE HARMFUL IF DAMAGE TO THE FOLLOWING ORGANS: KIDNEYS, LIVER, HEART, RESPIRATORY TRACT, SKIN, EYES,CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD, LUNGS, HAZARD. CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH CAN CAUSE OF ENTRYABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. EYE CONTACT. INHALATION. INGESTIONPOTENTIAL ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:Eyes May cause eye May cause skin irritation.

2 Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening or, occasionally, or repeated contact can defat the skin and lead to irritation, cracking and/or May cause respiratrory tract irritation. Can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression. Symptoms and signs includeheadache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness. Excessive exposure maycause cardiac (heart) sensitization, which can be potentially fatal. May have an effect on your brain and may impair your ability tothink clearly. May cause neuromuscular effects and impairment of speech, color vision and hearing at moderate/high Aspiration hazard if swallowed.

[ TOLUENE ]Classified 2B (Possible for human.) by IARC, Classified A3 (Animal Carcinogen) by ACGIH [ Ethylbenzene].

4 Benzene is a known human EFFECTS: Studies suggest that TOLUENE may cause developmental toxicity (may damage the developing fetus).However, studies are not conclusive due to many confounding variables. Increased rates of spontaneous abortion have been reportedin several studies related to TOLUENE Reproductive system/toxin/female, Reproductive system/toxin/male [PROVEN] [ Benzene].Medical Conditions Aggravated by OverexposurePre-existing disorders involving any target organs mentioned in this MSDS as being at risk may be aggravated by over-exposure tothis /Signs/ SymptomsSkin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening or, occasionally, blistering.
