Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rest.
Exposure Routes: inhalation, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: irritation eyes, skin, respiratory system; skin burns; in animals: central nervous system depressant/depression Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system (NIOSH, 2016)
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Aromatic hydrocarbons and related compounds
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fight fire from protected lequipmentor maximum possible distance. Use remote equiment wherever possible.
This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Use powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Stop or control the leak, if this can be done without undue risk. Adsorb in noncombustible material (e.g., sand) for proper disposal. Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors and protect personnel. Control runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal.
NO open flames. Above 76°C use a closed system and ventilation. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Separated from oxidants. Cool. Store only if stabilized.Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Outside or detached storage is preferred.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Wear safety spectacles.
Protective gloves.
Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.

The substance may polymerize due to heating. This generates fire or explosion hazard. Reacts violently with oxidants.
no data available
Combustible. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting.DIVINYL BENZENE may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. Can react exothermically with reducing agents (such as alkali metals and hydrides) to release gaseous hydrogen. May react exothermically with both acids and bases. May in the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators undergo exothermic polymerization. Inhibited by presence of an additive. When uninhibited violent polymerization may occur (NTP, 1992). Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction.
no data available
Reacts with acids, oxidizing materials, peroxides, metal salts such as iron chloride or aluminum chloride, or polymer initiators.
When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
No indication can be given about the rate at which a harmful concentration of this substance in the air is reached on evaporation at 20°C.
In a 4-week biodegradation screening test (MITI test) using vinylstyrene (100 mg/l) and an activated sludge inoculum (30 mg/l), 0% of BOD was removed(1). Data regarding the biodegradation of vinylstyrene in either soil or aquatic systems were not available(SRC).
A BCF range of 206-444 was measured for vinylstyrene(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for vinylstyrene can be estimated to be 1,700(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that vinylstyrene is expected to have low mobility in soil.

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

The commercial form of vinylbenzene contains the three isomeric forms but the meta isomer predominates.Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken.An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert.See ICSC 0073.
