Explanation of Carcinogenicity:STYRENE: IARC MONOGRAPHS, SUPP, VOL 60,
PG 233, 1994: GROUP 2B.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: CNDTNS OF HNDLG & USE. INHAL: EXPOS
TO VAP/MIST IS POSS. SHORT-TERM INHAL TOX IS LOW. BRTHG SM AMTS
DURING NORM HNDLG IS NOT LIKELY TO CAUSE HARMFUL EFTS; BRTHG LG

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPS ARE HVR/AIR & MAY TRAVEL ALONG
GROUND/MAY BE MOVED BY VENT & IGNITED BY PILOT LIGHTS, OTHER
FLAMES, SPKS, HEATERS, SMKNG, ELEC MOTORS, STATIC (SUPDAT)

Spill Release Procedures:SM SPILL: ABSORB LIQ ON VERMICULITE, FLOOR
ABSORB/OTHER ABSORB MATL & TRANSFER TO HOOD. LG SPILL: ELIM ALL
IGNIT SOURCES (FLARES, FLAMES INCL PILOT LIGHTS, ELEC SPKS).
PERSONS NOT WEARING PROT EQUIP S HOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM AREA OF
SPILL UNTIL(ING 17)
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:CNTNRS OF MATL MAY BE HAZ WHEN
EMPTIED. SINCE EMPTIED CNTNRS RETAIN PROD RESIDUES (VAP, LIQ, &/OR
SOLID), ALL HAZ PREC GIVE IN MSDS MUST BE OBSERVED.
Other Precautions:EXPOS TO AEROSOLS & MISTS WHEN MATL IS SPRAYED MAY
PRESENT GREATER RISK OF INJURY FROM COMPONENTS BECAUSE HIGHER CONCS
ARE IN ATM THAN RSLT FROM VAPOR ALONE. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENT AND IF
NECESSARY, US E NIOSH APPRVD RESP PROT.

Respiratory Protection:IF WORKPLACE EXPOS LIMIT(S) OF PROD/ANY
COMPONENT IS EXCEEDED, NIOSH APPRVD AIR SUPPLIED RESP IS ADVISED IN
ABSENCE OF PROPER ENVIRONMENTAL CTL. OSHA REGS ALSO PERMIT OTHER
NIOSH APPRVD RESPS (NEG PRE SS TYPE) UNDER SPECIFIED CNDTNS (ING
22)
Ventilation:PROVIDE SUFFICIENT MECHANICAL (GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL
EXHAUST) VENT TO MANTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S).
