4. First aid measures

4.1 Description of first-aid measures General advice : Harmful by inhalation. Harmful: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Inhalation of vapors may cause signs of respiratory tract irritation (cough and difficulty breathing), CNS depression (fatigue, dizziness, headache, collapse, coma and death), possible cardiac sensitization, and irritation of the eyes, nose and throat. Aspiration into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting can cause lung damage, possibly leading to chronic lung dysfunction or death. Causes eye and skin irritation. Repeated exposures to very high concentrations of vapor may cause auditory effects. Always observe self-protection methods Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid direct contact. Move out of dangerous area. Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Get medical attention immediately. Show this material safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. If inhaled : Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Do not leave the victim unattended. Keep patient warm and at rest. Immediately seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. In the event of unconsciousness, apnea or cardiac arrest (no pulse) apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation. : Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. In case of contact, immediately flush skin with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical attention if ill effect or irritation develops. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. : In case of eye contact, remove contact lens and rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at 3 / 42

least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately. If swallowed : Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting does occur, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Get medical attention immediately. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Symptoms : Signs of eye, throat, and respiratory tract irritation (cough and difficulty breathing), CNS depression (fatigue, dizziness, headache, collapse, coma and death) and possible cardiac sensitization may occur after exposure to high vapor concentrations. : Moderate eye irritant. Causes moderate skin irritation. Aspiration may cause pulmonary edema and pneumonitis. Potential danger from aspiration must be weighed against possible oral toxicity when deciding to induce vomiting. May cause hearing loss. 4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treatment : Treat symptomatically. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Gastric lavage is indicated in those patients who require decontamination. Be sure that an endotracheal tube is in place prior to lavage; use cuffed tubes in patients over 7 years of age. Epinephrine and other sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias (irregular beating) in persons exposed to this material.

which may cause release of styrene vapors forming flammable mixtures with air. Liquid normally inhibited but not vapors. Vapors may condense as solids, plugging pressure relief devices, causing overpressure/rupture of storage containers during runaway polymerization. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. Always stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Sustained fire attack on vessels may result in a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. 5.3 Precautions for fire-fighters Special protective equipment for fire-fighters : Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters protective clothing will only provide limited protection.
6. Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas. Enter area only if strictly necessary. A combustible gas detector can be used to check for flammable gas or vapors.
6.2 Environmental precautions Environmental precautions : Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities. If necessary, all contaminated waste water must be treated in a municipal or industrial wastewater treatment plant before release to surface water. 5 / 42

STYRENE MONOMER
Chemical removal by air and water pollution control devices must meet the minimum efficiency requirements needed to reduce exposures to an acceptable level. The discharge of treatment plant effluent to rivers and oceans must achieve the dilution ratio needed to reduce exposures to an acceptable level. The size and capacity of wastewater treatment plants must meet the minimum requirements needed to reduce exposures to an acceptable level. Waste management practices such as incineration, recycling, reuse must be enforced as needed to reduce exposures to an acceptable level. External treatment and disposal of waste should comply with applicable local and/or national regulations. The maximum allowable site tonnage and the days of use should be below the number needed to maintain exposures at an acceptable level. 6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Methods for cleaning up : Flammable liquid. Release will cause immediate fire/explosion. Eliminate all sources of ignition. All equipment used when handling this product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
7. Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling Advice on safe handling : May autopolymerize if uninhibited, heated or involved in a fire. Autopolymerization will be accompanied by evolution of heat, which may cause release of styrene vapors forming flammable mixtures with air. Do not handle near heat, sparks, or flame. Avoid contact with incompatible agents. Use only with adequate ventilation/personal protection. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not enter storage area unless adequately ventilated. Metal containers involved in the transfer of this material should be grounded and bonded. Containers that have held styrene monomer must be thoroughly cleaned, drained and dried to prevent fire hazard from residue. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge 6 / 42

11. Toxicological information

11.1 Information on toxicological effects Acute toxicity Acute oral toxicity Styrene
: LD50 (Oral): ~ 5,000 mg/kg Species: rat Remarks: This substance is of low acute toxicity when administered orally. Ingestion may cause discomfort and irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, effects on lungs and kidneys, and CNS depression (fatigue, dizziness and possibly loss of concentration, with collapse, coma and death in cases of severe overexposure) Aspiration into the lung may cause fatal chemical pneumonitis. May increase the sensitivity of the heart to endogenous catecholamines leading to potentially fatal cardiac sensitization.
Acute inhalation toxicity Styrene
: LC50 (Inhl): 11.8 mg/l Exposure time: 4 HOURS Species: rat Remarks: Vapors are toxic when inhaled. Vapors may cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat as well as CNS depression (primarily fatigue, dizziness and loss of concentration, with collapse, coma and death in cases of severe over-exposure) May increase the sensitivity of the heart to endogenous catecholamines leading to potentially fatal cardiac sensitization.
Acute dermal toxicity Styrene
: LD50 (Skin): > 2,000 mg/kg Species: rat Method: OECD Test Guideline 402
Skin corrosion/irritation Skin irritation Styrene
: Classification: Irritating to skin.
Serious eye damage/eye irritation Eye irritation Styrene
: Classification: Irritating to eyes.
Respiratory or skin sensitization 12 / 42

STYRENE MONOMER
Sensitization Styrene Germ cell mutagenicity Remarks Styrene
: Classification: Not sensitizing
: Styrene does possess some genotoxic potential in vitro presumably reflecting conversion to styrene oxide. There is no convincing evidence from available animal and human data that styrene possesses significant mutagenic/clastogenic potential in vivo.
Carcinogenicity Remarks Styrene : Chronic inhalation resulted in hyperplasia and fibrosis and an increased incidence of late onset lung tumors in mice, which are believe to have arisen through a non-genotoxic mechanism. Tumor incidence in rats was unaffected after chronic inhalation exposure. there is no convincing evidence that styrene possesses significant carcinogenic potential in humans.
Reproductive toxicity Remarks Styrene
: Results from reproductive toxicity studies in animals exposed via drinking water or inhalation have shown no evidence of selective toxicity to the testis or ovary or adverse effects on fertility.
Teratogenicity Remarks Styrene : Results from animal studies demonstrate that styrene is not a teratogen, nor is it fetotoxic at sub-maternally-toxic treatment levels. No selective effects on nervous system development have been reported. Some indication of developmental delay was observed in pups from dams exposed to high dose levels (500 ppm) however these findings were attributed to decreased pup body weight rather than a selective effect on the offspring.
Target Organ Systemic Toxicant - Repeated exposure Styrene : Remarks: Results from repeat-dose toxicity studies demonstrate that the mouse is highly sensitive to styreneinduced toxicity, with hyperplasia and fibrosis in lung tissue and atrophy and degeneration of nasal olfactory epithelium after chronic exposure. Mild nasal changes were also observed in the rat. Mechanistic studies demonstrate greater formation of locally toxic products in mouse nose and lung, and provide a metabolic basis for these species differences in 13 / 42

STYRENE MONOMER
susceptibility (negligible metabolism likely in human respiratory tract). There is clear evidence that styrene causes a specific adverse effect on hearing in laboratory animals after long-term exposure; additionally there is an indication for styrene-induced hearing losses in humans. Minor impairment of color discrimination has been reported in workers occupationally exposed to styrene, however the magnitude of the change is small suggesting it is of negligible toxicological or clinical significance.
