2.5.2 Spills & Leaks

Because ethylbenzene is slightly soluble in water and extremely flammable at ambient temperatures, spills and leaks require prompt response to minimize the risk of fire and/or explosion, as well as to limit fugitive emissions. Ethylbenzene is considered toxic to aquatic organisms and therefore surface waters and sewage systems should be protected from spills.
