# First Discove

Precautionary Measures: Do not taste or swallow, Do not breathe vapor or fumes from heated material. Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive force. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 85F. Do not get In eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not breathe vapor or fumes. General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and drainage systems Md bodies of water. Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating an accumulation of electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (Including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 

### 77, 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 

### 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents', General Storage Information: DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks or open flames. USE AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep contoiner closed when not in use. Container Warnings: Container Is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it may rupture

**wit~** explosive force, Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of Ignition. They may explode and cause Injury or death. Empty containers should 

### be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly retumed to a drum reconditioner

This suggests the carcinogenicity of this chemical is due to**D~A.** Mechanisms of DEA carcinogenicity are under investigation. DEA is not genotoxic but appears to Interfere with normal phospholipid metabolism. Current hypotheses suggest the carcinogenicity of DEA is tied to this interference. Because phospholipid metabolism varies widely between species, the relevonce of these findings

### (44% mortality, decreased body weight gain, clinical signs of toxicity) and developmental toxicity (decreased number of live fetuses per litter, increased postimplantation losses per dam, decreased fetal body weights, delayed ossification, cleft palate) were observed at 1500 ppm. In a rat inhalation study using dose levels of 600, 1000, and 2000 rng/m3 for 24 hours/day on gestation days 7·15, signs of maternal toxicity (d.,creased body weight gain) were observed at 0111 dose levels.

### a rat 3·generation inholation study using dose levels of 0, 

### 100, 500, and 1500 ppm 

### 6 hours/day, 

### 5 days;week, no signs of general systemic or reproductive toxicity were ooserved at 100 ppm. At 500 ppm, slight parental toxicity (decreased body weight gain) and postnatal toxicity (decreased pup body weight) were observed, but reproductive parameters were not affected. Severe parental toxicity (mortality, decreased bodyweight gain, clinical signs of toxicity) and postnatal toxicity (decreased pup body weight) were observed at 

### 1500 ppm, but reproductive parameters were not affected. This product contains xylene. ACUTE TOXICITY: The primary effects of exposure to xylene in animals and humans are on 

### the central nervous system. In addition, in some Individuals, xylene exposure can sensitize cardiac tissue to epinephrine which may precipitate fatal ventricular fibrillation. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXIC!ll': Xylene has been reported to cause developmental toxicity in rats and mice exposed by inhalation during pregnancy. The effects noted consisted of delayed development and minor skeletal**v~riations.** In addition, when pregnant mice were exposed by ingestion 

### to a level that killed nearly one-third 

### of the test group, lethality (resorptions) and malformations (primarily cleft palate) occurred. Since xylene can cross the placenta, it may be appropriate to prevent exposure during pregnancy. GENETIC TOX!Cill'/CARClNOGENlClll': Xylene was not genotoxic in several mutagenicity testing assays including the Ames test. In 

### a cancer study sponsored by the National Toxicology Program (NTP),technical grade xylene gave no evidence of carcinogenicity In rats or mice dosed daily for two years. HEARING: Mixed xylenes have been shown to cause measurable hearing loss in rats exposed to 

### soo ppm in the air for 14 hours per day for six weeks. Exposure to 1450 ppm xylene for 

### 8 hours caused hearing loss while exposure to 1700 ppm for 

### 4 hours did not. Although no information is available for lower concentrations, other chemicals that cause hearing loss in rats at relatively high concentrations do not cause hearing loss in rats at low concentrations. Worker exposure to xylenes at the permissible exposure limit (100 ppm, time-weighted average) is not expected to cause hearing loss.
