FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR AT SEVERAL MINUTES, HOLDING THE EYELIDS APART. IF
IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS, CALL A PHYSICIAN.
SKIN:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. WASH EXPOSED AREA THOROUGHLY WITH
SOAP AND WATER. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.

REPEAT DOSE TOXICITY:
IN REPEATED DOSE STUDIES, THE PRINCIPLE EFFECTS OF XYLENES WERE ADAPTIVE
CHANGES IN THE LIVER, BODY WEIGHT CHANGES, ORGAN WEIGHT CHANGES AND ALTERED
MOTOR COORDINATION. AVAILABLE CASE REPORTS, OCCUPATIONAL STUDIES, AND
STUDIES ON HUMAN VOLUNTEERS SUGGEST THAT BOTH SHORT-AND LONG-TERM
EXPOSURES RESULT IN A VARIETY OF ADVERSE NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS THAT
INCLUDE HEADACHE, MENTAL CONFUSION, NARCOSIS, EQUILIBRIUM, IMPAIRED
SHORT-TERM MEMORY, DIZZINESS AND TREMORS. REPORTS HAVE ASSOCIATED REPEATED
AND PROLONGED OVEREXPOSURE TO PETROLEUM DISTILLATES WITH ADVERSE LIVER,
KIDNEY AND BONE MARROW EFFECTS AND WITH PERMANENT BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM
DAMAGE. INTENTIONAL MISUSE BY DELIBERATELY CONCENTRATING AND INHALING THE
PRODUCT MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL. STODDARD SOLVENT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE
KIDNEY AND LIVER DAMAGE IN REPEAT DOSE ANIMAL STUDIES.
CARCINOGEN STATUS:
ETHYLBENZENE IS LISTED BY IARC AS "POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP
2B) AND AS A "CONFIRMED ANIMAL CARCINOGEN WITH UNKNOWN RELEVANCE TO HUMANS
(A3) BY ACGIH. NTP CONDUCTED A TWO YEAR CARCINOGENICITY STUDY WITH STODDARD
SOLVENT IN RATS AND MICE. THE STUDIES INDICATED THERE WAS SOME EVIDENCE OF
CARCINOGENIC ACTIVITY IN MALE RATS BUT NONE IN FEMALE RATS. IN MICE THERE
IS EQUIVOCAL EVIDENCE IN FEMALE MICE FOR CARCINOGENIC ACTIVITY BUT NO
EVIDENCE IN MALE MICE. IARC HAS CLASSIFIED PETROLEUM SOLVENTS "NOT
CLASSIFIABLE AS TO THEIR CARCINOGENICITY TO HUMANS. NONE OF THE OTHER
COMPONENTS ARE LISTED AS CARCINOGENS BY IARC, NTP, ACGIH, OSHA OR THE CLP
REGULATION (EC) NO 1272/2008.
GERM CELL MUTAGENICITY:
ETHYLBENZENE WAS NEGATIVE IN THE AMES TEST, CHROMOSOME ABERRATION ASSAY,
SISTER CHROMATID EXCHANGE AND IN VIVO MICRONUCLEUS ASSAY. IT WAS POSITIVE
IN A MOUSE LYMPHOMA ASSAY. AVAILABLE DATA FROM BOTH IN VITRO AND IN VIVO
STUDIES SUGGEST THAT XYLENES ARE NOT GENOTOXIC. STODDARD SOLVENT WAS
NEGATIVE IN THE AMES TEST, N A MOUSE LYMPHOMA ASSAY AND IN AN IN VIVO BONE
MARROW ASSAY.
TOXICITY FOR REPRODUCTION:
ETHYLBENZENE:
IN A DEVELOPMENTAL STUDY, RATS WERE EXPOSED TO 100 TO 1000 PPM FOR 1-19
DAYS AFTER GESTATION. AT 1000 PPM MATERNAL TOXICITY AND LIMITED
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY WAS OBSERVED. NOEAL (MATERNAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL)
WAS CONSIDERED TO BE 100 PPM.
XYLENE:
INHALATION EXPOSURE OF RATS FROM GESTATION DAY 6-20 FOR 6H/DAY PRODUCED
MATERNAL TOXICITY AT 100 PPM AND FETAL TOXICITY EFFECTS AT 500 PPM. NOEAL
FOR MATERNAL TOXICITY WAS CONSIDERED TO BE 500 PPM AND DEVELOPMENTAL
TOXICITY WAS 100 PPM.
