Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain.
Hazardous thermal decomposition products
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon dioxide
Flammable liquid and vapor. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a
subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined
areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. This
material is harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented
from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain.
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated
in positive pressure mode.

Environmental precautions
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local
regulations (see Section 13). Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the
product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to the environment
if released in large quantities.
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble,

Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon dioxide
Flammable liquid and vapor. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a
subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined
areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. This
material is harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented
from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain.
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated

Environmental precautions
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local
regulations (see Section 13). Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the
product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to the environment
if released in large quantities.
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble,
absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof
equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

1) Negative Study A published study concluded that the mechanism for producing cancer in mice exposed to styrene
is not applicable in human metabolism. (June 2013 Pharmacology & Toxicology 66 (2013))
2) Negative Study A recent update to an extensive study of reinforced plastic workers from 1948-1977 concluded that
there was no coherent evidence that styrene exposure increased risk of cancer (March 2013 Epidemiology Vol. 24
Issue 2)
3) Positive Study Styrene induced pulmonary toxicity and carcinogenicity in mice was shown to be caused by a
metabolite of styrene, probably styrene oxide. (Dec.2001 Toxicology Vol.169 Issue 2)
Not considered to be toxic to the reproductive system.
