Section 6. Accidental Release, Spill, Leak Procedures

T h i s product is a “Hazardous Waste” because of its inherent characteristics and ignitability. In the
advent of any spill or leak of this material, Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area. Prevent
the spilt material from entering drains or waterways. Remove personnel form the area. Absorb the spill
using Vermiculite, Dry Sand, or Earth.

Spill/Leak Procedures
Small Spill or Leak
Soak up the spill with absorbent material and place into drums for later disposal.

Large Spill or Leak

Dike area with sand and pump or scoop the spilt material into drums for later disposal. Treat the
residual spilt material as for small spill or leak.

Waste Management/Disposal
Dispose of the waste material in accordance with Local, State, and or Federal regulations.

Containers
Emptied containers retain vapour and residual material and therefore entail an explosion and toxic
vapour hazard. All hazard precautions given in this data sheet must be observed until the container is
cleaned, reconditioned, or destroyed.

Handling Procedures
As with all chemicals, good industrial hygiene practices should be followed when handing this
material. When the container(s) is empty it may retain product residue including vapors which could
accumulate. therefore, do not cut drill, grind, or weld empty containers. Additionally, do not conduct
such activity(ies) near full, partially full, or empty product containers without appropriate workplace
safety authorization(s) or permit(s).

Storage Procedures
Protect container from physical abuse. Keep the container tightly closed. Keep this material in a cool,
well-ventilated place. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Bond and ground containers when transferring
material. Keep separate from incompatibles. Do not handle or store near an open flame heat or other
sources of ignition. Do not cut, weld, solder, drill, grind, or expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, or
other sources of ignition.

Section 8. Exposure Control / Personal Protection

Eye
Do not get in eyes. Wear chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields

Skin
Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wear protective clothing and gloves.

Inhalation
Use with adequate ventilation. If ventilation is inadequate, use NIOSH certified respirator that will
protect against organic vapor and dust/mist.

Engineering Controls
Control airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines.

Exposure Guidelines

Section 10. Stability & Reactivity

Stability
The product has limited storage life at ambient temperatures due to the depletion of polymerization
inhibitor. Use within six(6)months of delivery. Excessive heat will accelerate inhibitor depletion, and
allow spontaneous polymerization to begin.

Other toxicity data

Epidemiology studies involving workers in the styrene, polystyrene, and reinforced plastics industries
do not show increased cancer risk from occupational exposure to styrene. A recent, well-conducted
chronic study show no incidence of cancer in rats from styrene exposure. In another recently , well-
conducted chronic study, an increased of lung cancer was observed in mice. The relevance of the
mouse lung cancers to humans is uncertain. Earlier studies in which rats and mice were exposed to
styrene by inhalation or ingestion are considered inadequate for assessing human cancer risk
because of deficiencies in design, conduct, or interpretation.

Repeated exposures to styrene vapor in animal studies have resulted in liver toxicity in mice at levels
above 100 ppm. Also, nasal lesions were observed at 50 ppm or higher in rats and 20 ppm or higher
in mice.

Some evidence of hearing loss was observed in rats exposed to 800 ppm styrene vapor, but not at
200 ppm. No significant hearing loss is expected to occur in humans occupationally exposed to
styrene. In addition it has been reported that some workers, primarily those with mean exposure levels
greater than 50 ppm., develop small decreases in the ability to discriminate between colors. These
effect were very subtle and not likely to be noticed.

Styrene did not cause birth defects in laboratory animal studies, although other developmental effects
have been reported. It should be noted that these developmental effect occurred at exposure levels
that were matemally toxic. Human studies do not show any significant risk of reproductive toxicity or
birth defects from styrene exposure.

Mixed results have been reported for styrene in vitro genotoxicity tests. However, there is no
convincing evidence of cytogenic damage in laboratory animals exposed to styrene. Some cytogenetic
studies on peripheral blood lymphocytes of workers exposed to styrene have reported increases in
chromosomal damage, although there is no clear dose response relationship.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC) has evaluated styrene and has classified it
as possibly carcinogenic to humans(Group 2B)
