BENZENE
Chemical Stability : Stable
Incompatibility with other material: Oxidizing agents, acids.
Reactivity : Benzene vapors + chlorine and light causes explosion. Reacts explosively with bromine
pentafluoride, chlorine, chlorine trifluoride, diborane, nitric acid, nitryl perchlorate,
liquid oxygen, ozone, silver perchlorate. Benzene + pentafluoride and methoxide (from
arsenic pentafluoride and potassium methoxide) in trichlorotrifluoroethane causes
explosion. Interaction of nitryl perchlorate with benzene gave a slight explosion and
flash. The solution of permanganic acid (or its explosive anhydride, dimanganese
heptoxide) produced by interaction of permanganates and sulfuric acid will explode on
contact with benzene. Peroxodisulfuric acid is a very powferful oxidant. Uncontrolled
contact with benzene may cause explosion. Mixtures of peroxomonsulfuric acid with
benzene explodes

5. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
BENZENE
Routes of entry: Inhalation, Ingestion, Eyes and Skin
Effects of Exposure / Symptoms:
Short Term Exposure - Inhalation of Benzene may produce both nerve and blood effects. Irritation of the nose,
throat, and lungs may occur (3000 ppm may be tolerated for only 3060 min). Lung congestion may occur.
Nerve effects may include an exaggerated feeling of well-being, excitement, headache, dizziness, and slurred
speech. At high levels, slowed breathing and death may result. Death has occurred at 20,000 ppm for 5-10 min
or 7500 ppm for 30 min. Skin contact: Irritation may occur, with redness and blistering if not promptly
removed. Benzene is poorly absorbed. Whole body exposure for 30 min has been reported with no health
effects. Eye contact may cause severe irritation. Ingestion may cause irritation of mouth, throat, and stomach.
Symptoms are similar to those listed under inhalation. One tablespoon may cause collapse, bronchitis,
pneumonia, and death. Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect.
Long Term Exposure - Benzene is a known human carcinogen. Exposure has been linked to increased risk of
several forms of leukemia. The liquid defats the skin. The substance may have effects on the blood forming
organs, liver and immune system. It may cause loss of appetite, nausea, weight loss, fatigue, muscle weakness,
headache, dizziness, nervousness and irritability. Mild anemia has been reported from exposures of 25 ppm for
several years and 100 ppm for 3 months. At levels between 100 and 200 ppm for periods of 6 months, or more,
severe irreversible blood changes and damage to liver and heart may occur. Temporary partial paralysis has
been reported.
Emergency Treatment:
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action
has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility.
Skin : Remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention
immediately.
Eyes : Remove contact lens, if any. Wash with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical aid.
Ingestion : Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting. Seek medical aid.
Conversion factor: 1 ppm = 3.19 mg/m3 at 25OC & 1 atm
STEL: Confirmed human carcinogen. Limit exposure to lowest feasible level.
Odour Threshold: 4.9 mg/m3 in air; 2.0 mg/l in water.

Vapours irritate eyes and upper respiratory tract. It causes dizziness, headache, anesthesia, respiratory arrest.
Liquid irritates eyes and causes drying of skin. If aspirated, causes coughing, gagging, distress and rapidly
developing pulmonary edema. If ingested, causes vomiting, griping, diarrhea, depressed respiration.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
aid. Do not use mouth-to-mouth respiration.
Skin : Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Eyes : Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk orwater. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. It is a possible aspiration hazard. Get medical aid
immediately.

XYLENES
Short Term Exposure - Exposure to vapor can be irritating to the nose and throat. Inhalation of vapor at
concentrations above 200 ppm or 3-5 min can lead to xylene intoxication. Symptoms include headache,
dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. If exposure continues, central nervous system depression characterized
by shallow breathing and weak pulse can occur. Levels of 230 ppm for 15 min may cause lightheadedness
without loss of equilibrium. Reversible liver and kidney damage in humans has followed exposure to
sudden high concentrations of vapor. Such high levels may also give rise to lung congestion. Exposure to
extremely high concentrations (10,000 ppm or more) of xylene vapors can lead to a strong narcotic effect
with symptoms of slurred speech, stupor fatigue, confusion, unconsciousness, coma, and possible death.
Skin: Contact with vapor or liquid can cause defatting which may lead to irritation, drying, and cracking.
Eyes: Vapor and liquid may be irritating to the eye and eyelids at levels of 100 ppm for 15 min. Ingestion:
Swallowing liquid xylene will bring about an immediate burning sensation in the mouth and throat.
Irritation of the stomach and intestine can give rise to sharp stomach pains. Symptoms are the same as
inhalation, except that lung congestion will not usually develop.
Long Term Exposure - Inhalation of xylene vapor and skin contact with liquid are the two most probable
routes of long-term exposure. Symptoms of inhalation are dizziness, headache, and nausea. Long-term
exposure has been associated with liver and kidney damage, intestinal tract disturbances, and central
nervous system depression. Prolonged contact with skin can lead to irritation, dryness, and cracking.
Repeated exposure can cause poor memory, difficulty in concentration, and other brain effects. It can also
cause damage to the eye surface.

GLOSSARY
ACGIH The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Inc., is an organization open to all practitioners in industrial
hygiene, occupational health, environmental health or safety. Their website is http://www.acgih.org/.
Asphyxiant An asphyxiant is a substance that can cause unconsciousness or death by suffocation (asphyxiation). Asphyxiants which
have no other health effects and are sometimes referred to as simple asphyxiants. Asphyxiants work by displacing so much
oxygen from the ambient atmosphere that the hemoglobin in the blood cannot pick up enough oxygen from the lungs to
fully oxygenate the tissues. As a result, the victim slowly suffocates.
O
C degree Celsius. It is a measure of temperature.
CAS Chemical Abstracts Service. It assigns a unique identification number in the format XXX-XX-X to all compounds registered
with it. The number allows one to identify a chemical regardless of the naming system.
CC Closed Cup
Chemical Classification (Hazardous) The chemicals hazard classification as per the CREFT (corrosive, reactive, explosive, flammable,
toxic) classification.
Codes/Label/Class The classifications identified are those adopted by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, and are as follows:
Class 1: Explosives
Class 2: Gases
Gases which are compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure or refrigerated as detailed below. Some gases have
subsidiary risk classes; poisonous or corrosive.
2.1 Flammable Gas: Gases which ignite on contact with an ignition source, such as acetylene and hydrogen.
2.2 Non-Flammable Gases: Gases which are neither flammable nor poisonous. Includes the cryogenic gases/liquids
(temperatures of below -100 OC) used for cryopreservation and rocket fuels, such as nitrogen and neon.
2.3 Poisonous Gases: Gases liable to cause death or serious injury to human health if inhaled; examples are fluorine,
chlorine, and hydrogen cyanide.
Class 3: Flammable Liquids
Flammable liquids included in Class 3 are included in one of the following packing groups:
Packing Group I, if they have an initial boiling point of 35 OC or less at an absolute pressure of 101.3 kPa and any flash point,
such as diethyl ether or carbon disulfide etc.
Packing Group II, if they have an initial boiling point greater than 35 OC at an absolute pressure of 101.3 kPa and a flash point
less than 23 OC, such as gasoline (petrol) and acetone etc.; or
Packing Group III, if the criteria for inclusion in Packing Group I or II are not met, such as kerosene and diesel.
Class 4: Flammable, Others
4.1 Flammable Solids: Solid substances that are easily ignited and readily combustible (nitrocellulose, magnesium, safety or
strike-anywhere matches
4.2 Spontaneously Combustible: Solid substances that ignite spontaneously (aluminium alkyls, white phosphorus
Class 5: Oxidizing Agents and Organic Peroxides
5.1 Oxidizing agents other than organic peroxides (calcium hypochlorite, ammonium nitrate, hydrogen peroxide, potassium
permanganate).
5.2 Organic peroxides, either in liquid or solid form (benzoyl peroxides, cumene hydroperoxide).
5.3 Dangerous when wet: Solid substances that emit a flammable gas when wet or react violently with water (sodium,
calcium, potassium, calcium carbide).
Class 6: Toxic and Infectious Substances
6.1 Toxic substances which are liable to cause death or serious injury to human health if inhaled, swallowed or by skin
absorption (potassium cyanide, mercuric chloride).
6.2 Bio hazardous substances; the World Health Organization (WHO) divides this class into two categories: Category A:
Infectious; and Category B: Samples (virus cultures, pathology specimens, used intravenous needles
Class 7: Radioactive Substances
Class 8: Corrosive Substances
Class 9: Miscellaneous

cP centi Poise. It is a measure of viscosity.
Flammable Limits Flammable limits apply generally to vapours and are defined as the concentration range in which a flammable
substance can produce a fire or explosion when an ignition source (such as a spark or open flame) is present. The
concentration is generally expressed as percent fuel by volume.
a. Above the upper flammable limit (UFL) the mixture of substance and air is too rich in fuel (deficient in oxygen) to
burn. This is sometimes called the upper explosive limit (UEL).
b. Below the lower flammable limit (LFL) the mixture of substance and air lacks sufficient fuel (substance) to burn.
This is sometimes called the lower explosive limit (LEL).
Any concentration between these limits can ignite or explode -- use extreme caution! Being above the upper limit is
not particularly safe, either. If a confined space is above the upper flammable limit and is then ventilated or opened to an air
source, the vapor will be diluted and the concentration can drop into the flammable limit range.
Flash Point The flash point of a volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air in
the presence of an ignition source. Depending on the test method used, the values given are either Tag closed cup (C.C.)
(ASTM D56) or Cleveland open cup (O.C.) (ASTM D93). The values give an indication of the relative flammability of the
chemical. In general, the open cup value is about 5.5 O to 8.5OC higher than the closed cup value.
Hazchem Code Emergency Action Codes (EACs), also known as Hazchem, are for the use of the emergency services in conjunction
with Emergency Action Code Cards. EACs indicate to the emergency services actions that may be necessary, during the first
few minutes of an incident involving dangerous goods, should the officer in charge of the incident deem it necessary to take
immediate actions. The code uses one of the numerals 1, 2, 3 or 4 followed by one or two letters.
