SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of first aid measures
Eye Contact
If this product comes in contact with the eyes: Wash out immediately with fresh running water. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
Skin Contact
If skin contact occurs:Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
Inhalation
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR ifnecessary. Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
Ingestion
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Observe the patient carefully. Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. Seek medical advice.

Avoid giving milk or oils. Avoid giving alcohol.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means should be used if it is considerednecessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these include gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be monitored fordifficult breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours.Followed acute or short term repeated exposures to ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers and their acetates:
Hepatic metabolism produces ethylene glycol as a metabolite. Clinical presentation, following severe intoxication, resembles that of ethylene glycol exposures. Monitoring the urinary excretion of the alkoxyacetic acid metabolites may be a useful indication of exposure.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]For acute or short term repeated exposures to xylene:
Gastro-intestinal absorption is significant with ingestions. For ingestions exceeding 1-2 ml (xylene)/kg, intubation and lavage with cuffed endotracheal tube is recommended. The use ofcharcoal and cathartics is equivocal. Pulmonary absorption is rapid with about 60-65% retained at rest. Primary threat to life from ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure. Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidal volumes orpoor arterial blood gases (pO2 < 50 mm Hg or pCO2 > 50 mm Hg) should be intubated. Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous lines and cardiac monitors shouldbe established in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves clearance. A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax. Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g.Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred agents, with aminophylline a second choice.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Safe handling
Containers, even those that have been emptied, may contain explosive vapours. Do NOT cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers.
Contains low boiling substance:Storage in sealed containers may result in pressure buildup causing violent rupture of containers not rated appropriately.
Check for bulging containers. Vent periodically Always release caps or seals slowly to ensure slow dissipation of vapours DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skinElectrostatic discharge may be generated during pumping - this may result in fire. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment. Restrict line velocity during pumping in order to avoid generation of electrostatic discharge (<=1 m/sec until fill pipe submerged to twice its diameter,then <= 7 m/sec). Avoid splash filling. Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. Wear protective clothing when risk of overexposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.
Other information
Store in original containers in approved flammable liquid storage area. Store away from incompatible materials in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store in pits, depressions, basements or areas where vapours may be trapped. No smoking, naked lights, heat or ignition sources.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Suitable container
Packing as supplied by manufacturer. Plastic containers may only be used if approved for flammable liquid. Check that containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks. For low viscosity materials (i) : Drums and jerry cans must be of the non-removable head type. (ii) : Where a can is to be used as an inner package, thecan must have a screwed enclosure. For materials with a viscosity of at least 2680 cSt. (23 deg. C) For manufactured product having a viscosity of at least 250 cSt.

Odour threshold: 0.25 ppm.The TLV-TWA is protective against ocular and upper respiratory tract irritation and is recommended for bulk handling of gasoline based on calculations of hydrocarbon content of gasoline vapour.A STEL is recommended to prevent mucous membrane and ocular irritation and prevention of acute depression of the central nervous system. Because of the wide variation in molecular weights ofits components, the conversion of ppm to mg/m3 is approximate.For ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2-butoxyethanol)Odour Threshold Value: 0.10 ppm (detection), 0.35 ppm (recognition)Although rats appear to be more susceptible than other animals anaemia is not uncommon amongst humans following exposure. The TLV reflects the need to maintain exposures below levels foundto cause blood changes in experimental animals. It is concluded that this limit will reduce the significant risk of irritation, haematologic effects and other systemic effects observed in humans andanimals exposed to higher vapour concentrations. The toxic effects typical of some other glycol ethers (pancytopenia, testis atrophy and teratogenic effects) are not found with this substance.for xylenes:IDLH Level: 900 ppmOdour Threshold Value: 20 ppm (detection), 40 ppm (recognition)NOTE: Detector tubes for o-xylene, measuring in excess of 10 ppm, are available commercially. (m-xylene and p-xylene give almost the same response).Xylene vapour is an irritant to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin and causes narcosis at high concentrations. Exposure to doses sufficiently high to produce intoxication and unconsciousnessalso produces transient liver and kidney toxicity.NOTE M: The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance contains less than 0.005% w/w benzo[a]pyrene (EINECS No 200-028-5).

Exposure controls
Appropriate engineeringcontrols
CARE: Use of a quantity of this material in confined space or poorly ventilated area, where rapid build up of concentrated atmosphere may occur, couldrequire increased ventilation and/or protective gearEngineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can behighly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.The basic types of engineering controls are:Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and"removes" air in the work environment.
Personal protection
Eye and face protection
Safety glasses with side shields.Chemical goggles.Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearingof lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task.
Skin protection See Hand protection below
Hands/feet protection
Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC. Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to bechecked prior to the application.The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed when making a finalchoice.Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.
Body protection See Other protection below

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Information on toxicological effects
Inhaled
Evidence shows, or practical experience predicts, that the material produces irritation of the respiratory system, in a substantial number of individuals,following inhalation. In contrast to most organs, the lung is able to respond to a chemical insult by first removing or neutralising the irritant and thenrepairing the damage. The repair process, which initially evolved to protect mammalian lungs from foreign matter and antigens, may however, producefurther lung damage resulting in the impairment of gas exchange, the primary function of the lungs. Respiratory tract irritation often results in aninflammatory response involving the recruitment and activation of many cell types, mainly derived from the vascular system.Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by narcosis, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of coordinationand vertigo.The acute toxicity of inhaled alkylbenzenes is best described by central nervous system depression. As a rule, these compounds may also act as generalanaesthetics.Systemic poisoning produced by general anaesthesia is characterised by lightheadedness, nervousness, apprehension, euphoria, confusion, dizziness,drowsiness, tinnitus, blurred or double vision, vomiting and sensations of heat, cold or numbness, twitching, tremors, convulsions, unconsciousness andrespiratory depression and arrest. Cardiac arrest may result from cardiovascular collapse.Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
High inhaled concentrations of mixed hydrocarbons may produce narcosis characterised by nausea, vomiting and lightheadedness. Inhalation of aerosolsmay produce severe pulmonary oedema, pneumonitis and pulmonary haemorrhage. Inhalation of petroleum hydrocarbons consisting substantially of lowmolecular weight species (typically C2-C12) may produce irritation of mucous membranes, incoordination, giddiness, nausea, vertigo, confusion,headache, appetite loss, drowsiness, tremors and anaesthetic stupor. Massive exposures may produce central nervous system depression with suddencollapse and deep coma; fatalities have been recorded.Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include nonspecific discomfort, symptoms of giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects,slowed reaction time, slurred speech and may progress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may result in respiratory depression and may be fatal.Acute effects from inhalation of high concentrations of vapour are pulmonary irritation, including coughing, with nausea; central nervous system depression- characterised by headache and dizziness, increased reaction time, fatigue and loss of co-ordinationEthylene glycol monobutyl ether (2-butoxyethanol) and its metabolite butoxyacetic acid are haemolytic agents, causing red blood cell destruction.On the basis of industrial experience and volunteer short-term exposure humans are shown to be less susceptible than experimental animals to exposure. In8-hour exposures at concentrations of 200 or 100 ppm no objective effects were seen other than raised urinary excretion of the metabolite butoxyacetic acid.No increased osmotic fragility of the red blood cell is observed.Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be harmful.
Ingestion
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce seriousdamage to the health of the individual.Ingestion of petroleum hydrocarbons may produce irritation of the pharynx, oesophagus, stomach and small intestine with oedema and mucosal ulcerationresulting; symptoms include a burning sensation in the mouth and throat. Large amounts may produce narcosis with nausea and vomiting, weakness ordizziness, slow and shallow respiration, swelling of the abdomen, unconsciousness and convulsions. Myocardial injury may produce arrhythmias,ventricular fibrillation and electrocardiographic changes. Central nervous system depression may also occur.Severe acute exposure to ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, by ingestion, may cause kidney damage, haemoglobinuria, (blood in urine) and is potentially fatal.Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments The liquid may produce considerable gastrointestinal discomfort and may beharmful or toxic if swallowed. Ingestion may result in nausea, pain and vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by aspiration may cause potentially lethalchemical pneumonitis
Skin Contact
Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may result following absorption.The material produces moderate skin irritation; evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material either
produces moderate inflammation of the skin in a substantial number of individuals following direct contact, and/or produces significant, but moderate, inflammation when applied to the healthy intact skin of animals (for up to four hours), such inflammation being presenttwenty-four hours or more after the end of the exposure period.
Skin irritation may also be present after prolonged or repeated exposure; this may result in a form of contact dermatitis (nonallergic). The dermatitis isoften characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which may progress to blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of theepidermis. At the microscopic level there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer of the skin (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of theepidermis.Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal handling and use.Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this materialThe material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis conditionEntry into the blood-stream through, for example, cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examinethe skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2-butoxyethanol) penetrates the skin easily and toxic effects via this route may be more likely than by inhalation.Percutaneous uptake rate in the guinea pig was estimated to be 0.25 umole/min/cm2.Aromatic hydrocarbons may produce skin irritation, vasodilation with erythema and changes in endothelial cell permeability. Systemic intoxication, resultingfrom contact with the light aromatics, is unlikely due to the slow rate of permeation. Branching of the side chain appears to increase percutaneousabsorption.
Eye
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause severe eye irritation in a substantial number of individuals and/or may producesignificant ocular lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more after instillation into the eye(s) of experimental animals. Eye contact may causesignificant inflammation with pain. Corneal injury may occur; permanent impairment of vision may result unless treatment is prompt and adequate. Repeatedor prolonged exposure to irritants may cause inflammation characterised by a temporary redness (similar to windburn) of the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis);temporary impairment of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may occur.
Petroleum hydrocarbons may produce pain after direct contact with the eyes. Slight, but transient disturbances of the corneal epithelium may also result.The aromatic fraction may produce irritation and lachrymation.

When instilled in rabbit eyes ethylene glycol monobutyl ether produced pain, conjunctival irritation, and transient corneal injury.
The liquid produces a high level of eye discomfort and is capable of causing pain and severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possiblepermanent impairment of vision, if not promptly and adequately treated.
Chronic
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related systemic problems.Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemicalsystems.There is some evidence that human exposure to the material may result in developmental toxicity. This evidence is based on animal studies where effectshave been observed in the absence of marked maternal toxicity, or at around the same dose levels as other toxic effects but which are not secondarynon-specific consequences of the other toxic effects.Exposure to the material may cause concerns for human fertility, on the basis that similar materials provide some evidence of impaired fertility in theabsence of toxic effects, or evidence of impaired fertility occurring at around the same dose levels as other toxic effects, but which are not a secondarynon-specific consequence of other toxic effects..Repeated or prolonged exposure to mixed hydrocarbons may produce narcosis with dizziness, weakness, irritability, concentration and/or memory loss,tremor in the fingers and tongue, vertigo, olfactory disorders, constriction of visual field, paraesthesias of the extremities, weight loss and anaemia anddegenerative changes in the liver and kidney. Chronic exposure by petroleum workers, to the lighter hydrocarbons, has been associated with visualdisturbances, damage to the central nervous system, peripheral neuropathies (including numbness and paraesthesias), psychological andneurophysiological deficits, bone marrow toxicities (including hypoplasia possibly due to benzene) and hepatic and renal involvement. Chronic dermalexposure to petroleum hydrocarbons may result in defatting which produces localised dermatoses. Surface cracking and erosion may also increasesusceptibility to infection by microorganisms.On the basis, primarily, of animal experiments, concern has been expressed that the material may produce carcinogenic or mutagenic effects; in respect ofthe available information, however, there presently exists inadequate data for making a satisfactory assessment.Prolonged or repeated contact with xylenes may cause defatting dermatitis with drying and cracking. Chronic inhalation of xylenes has been associated withcentral nervous system effects, loss of appetite, nausea, ringing in the ears, irritability, thirst anaemia, mucosal bleeding, enlarged liver and hyperplasia.Exposure may produce kidney and liver damage. In chronic occupational exposure, xylene (usually mix ed with other solvents) has produced irreversibledamage to the central nervous system and ototoxicity (damages hearing and increases sensitivity to noise), probably due to neurotoxic mechanisms.Exposure to the material for prolonged periods may cause physical defects in the developing embryo (teratogenesis).Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver and blood changes.

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known asreactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for thediagnosis of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptomswithin minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severebronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been includedin the criteria for diagnosis of RADS.for petroleum:This product contains benzene which is known to cause acute myeloid leukaemia and n-hexane which has been shown to metabolize to compounds whichare neuropathic.This product contains toluene. There are indications from animal studies that prolonged exposure to high concentrations of toluene may lead to hearingloss.This product contains ethyl benzene and naphthalene from which there is evidence of tumours in rodentsCarcinogenicity: Inhalation exposure to mice causes liver tumours, which are not considered relevant to humans.The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis isoften characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis. Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer(spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.

For trimethylbenzenes:Absorption of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene occurs after oral, inhalation, or dermal exposure. Occupationally, inhalation and dermal exposures are the mostimportant routes of absorption although systemic intoxication from dermal absorption is not likely to occur due to the dermal irritation caused by thechemical prompting quick removal. Following oral administration of the chemical to rats, 62.6% of the dose was recovered as urinary metabolites indicatingsubstantial absorption . 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene is lipophilic and may accumulate in fat and fatty tissues.For C9 aromatics (typically trimethylbenzenes - TMBs)

Acute ToxicityAcute toxicity studies (oral, dermal and inhalation routes of exposure) have been conducted in rats using various solvent products containing predominantlymixed C9 aromatic hydrocarbons (CAS RN 64742-95-6). Inhalation LC50’s range from 6,000 to 10,000 mg/m 3 for C9 aromatic naphtha and 18,000 to24,000 mg/m3 for 1,2,4 and 1,3,5-TMB, respectively. A rat oral LD50 reported for 1,2,4-TMB is 5 grams/kg bw and a rat dermal LD50 for the C9 aromaticnaphtha is >4 ml/kg bw. These data indicate that C9 aromatic solvents show that LD50/LC50 values are greater than limit doses for acute toxicity studiesestablished under OECD test guidelines.Inhalation (rat) TCLo: 1320 ppm/6h/90D-I * [Devoe]
ETHYLENE GLYCOLMONOBUTYL ETHER
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis isoften characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling epidermis. Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis)and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.For ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers and their acetates (EGMAEs):Typical members of this category are ethylene glycol propylene ether (EGPE), ethylene glycol butyl ether (EGBE) and ethylene glycol hexyl ether (EGHE)and their acetates.EGMAEs are substrates for alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme ADH-3, which catalyzes the conversion of their terminal alcohols to aldehydes (which aretransient metabolites). Further, rapid conversion of the aldehydes by aldehyde dehydrogenase produces alkoxyacetic acids, which are the predominanturinary metabolites of mono substituted glycol ethers.Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 values in rats for all category members range from 739 (EGHE) to 3089 mg/kg bw (EGPE), with values increasing withdecreasing molecular weight.For ethylene glycol:Ethylene glycol is quickly and extensively absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. Limited information suggests that it is also absorbed through therespiratory tract; dermal absorption is apparently slow. Following absorption, ethylene glycol is distributed throughout the body according to total bodywater. In most mammalian species, including humans, ethylene glycol is initially metabolised by alcohol.NOTE: Changes in kidney, liver, spleen and lungs are observed in animals exposed to high concentrations of this substance by all routes. ** ASCC (NZ)SDS

Exposure of pregnant rats to ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2-butoxyethanol) at 100 ppm or rabbits at 200 ppm during organogenesis resulted in maternaltoxicity and embryotoxicity including a decreased number of viable implantations per litter. Slight foetoxicity in the form of poorly ossified or unossifiedskeletal elements was also apparent in rats. Teratogenic effects were not observed in other species.At least one researcher has stated that the reproductive effects were less than that of other monoalkyl ethers of ethylene glycol.

Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste sites.When spilled this product may act as a typical oil, causing a film, sheen, emulsion or sludge at or beneath the surface of the body of water. The oil film on water surface may physically affect theaquatic organisms, due to the interruption of theoxygen transfer between the air and the waterOils of any kind can cause:
drowning of water-fowl due to lack of buoyancy, loss of insulating capacity of feathers, starvation and vulnerability to predators due to lack of mobilitylethal effects on fish by coating gill surfaces, preventing respirationasphyxiation of benthic life forms when floating masses become engaged with surface debris and settle on the bottom andadverse aesthetic effects of fouled shoreline and beaches
In case of accidental releases on the soil, a fine film is formed on the soil, which prevents the plant respiration process and the soil particle saturation. It may cause deep water infestation.Within an aromatic series, acute toxicity increases with increasing alkyl substitution on the aromatic nucleus. For example, there is an increase in toxicity as alkylation of the naphthalene structureincreases. The order of most toxic to least in a study using grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) and brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) was dimethylnaphthalenes > methylnaphthalenes>naphthalenes.Studies conclude that the toxicity of an oil appears to be a function of its di-aromatic and tri-aromatic hydrocarbons, which includes three-ring hydrocarbons such as phenanthrene.For ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers and their acetates:Members of this category include ethylene glycol propyl ether (EGPE), ethylene glycol butyl ether (EGBE) and ethylene glycol hexyl ether (EGHE)Environmental fate:The ethers, like other simple glycol ethers possess no functional groups that are readily subject to hydrolysis in the presence of waters. The acetates possess an ester group that hydrolyses inneutral ambient water under abiotic conditions.Level III fugacity modeling indicates that category members, when released to air and water, will partition predominately to water and, to a lesser extent, to air and soil. Estimates of soil andsediment partition coefficients (Kocs ranging from 1- 10) suggest that category members would exhibit high soil mobility.For xylenes :log Koc : 2.05-3.08Koc : 25.4-204Half-life (hr) air : 0.24-42Half-life (hr) H2O surface water : 24-672Half-life (hr) H2O ground : 336-8640Half-life (hr) soil : 52-672Henry's Pa m3 /mol: 637-879Henry's atm m3 /mol: 7.68E-03BOD 5 if unstated: 1.4,1%COD : 2.56,13%ThOD : 3.125BCF : 23log BCF : 1.17-2.41Environmental FateTerrestrial fate:: Measured Koc values of 166 and 182, indicate that 3-xylene is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. Volatilisation of p-xylene is expected to be important from moist soilsurfaces given a measured Henry's Law constant of 7.18x10-3 atm-cu m/mole. The potential for volatilisation of 3-xylene from dry soil surfaces may exist based on a measured vapor pressure of8.29 mm Hg. p-Xylene may be degraded during its passage through soil).For glycol ethers:Environmental fate:Ether groups are generally stable to hydrolysis in water under neutral conditions and ambient temperatures. OECD guideline studies indicate ready biodegradability for several glycol ethersalthough higher molecular weight species seem to biodegrade at a slower rate. No glycol ethers that have been tested demonstrate marked resistance to biodegradative processes. Upon releaseto the atmosphere by evaporation, high boiling glycol ethers are estimated to undergo photodegradation (atmospheric half lives = 2.4-2.5 hr).DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.

SECTION 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste treatment methods
Product / Packaging disposal
Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty. Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible.
Otherwise:If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not remain or if the container cannot be used to store the same product, thenpuncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill. Where possible retain label warnings and SDS and observe all notices pertaining to the product.
Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their area. Insome areas, certain wastes must be tracked.A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
