    environment must be avoided.
  Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
    Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and
    place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Do not flush with water.
  Reference to other sections
    For disposal see section 13.

    charge.
    For precautions see section 2.2.
  Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
    Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are
    opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
  Control parameters
  Components with workplace control parameters
  Exposure controls
  Appropriate engineering controls
    Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and
    at the end of workday.
  Personal protective equipment
  Eye/face protection
    Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under
    appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
  Skin protection
    Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique
    (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of
    contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
    Wash and dry hands.
    The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and
    the standard EN 374 derived from it.
  Body Protection
    Complete suit protecting against chemicals, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing, The type
    of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the
    dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
  Respiratory protection
    Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator
    with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup
    to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air
    respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government
    standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
  Control of environmental exposure
    Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into
    the environment must be avoided.

  Additional Information
    RTECS: Not available
    Inhalation of high concentrations of benzene may have an initial stimulatory effect on the central nervous
    system characterized by exhilaration, nervous excitation and/or giddiness, depression, drowsiness, or
    fatigue. The victim may experience tightness in the chest, breathlessness, and loss of consciousness.
    Tremors, convulsions, and death due to respiratory paralysis or circulatory collapse can occur in a few
    minutes to several hours following severe exposures. Aspiration of small amounts of liquid immediately
    causes pulmonary edema and hemorrhage of pulmonary tissue. Direct skin contact may cause erythema.
    Repeated or prolonged skin contact may result in drying, scaling dermatitis, or development of secondary
    skin infections. The chief target organ is the hematopoietic system. Bleeding from the nose, gums, or
    mucous membranes and the development of purpuric spots, pancytopenia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia,
    aplastic anemia, and leukemia may occur as the condition progresses. The bone marrow may appear
    normal, aplastic or hyperplastic, and may not correlate with peripheral blood-forming tissues. The onset of
    effects of prolonged benzene exposure may be delayed for many months or years after the actual
    exposure has ceased., Material is extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membranes and upper
    respiratory tract, eyes, and skin., spasm, inflammation and edema of the larynx, spasm, inflammation and
    edema of the bronchi, pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, burning sensation, Cough, wheezing, laryngitis,
    Shortness of breath, Headache
