Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Danger. Suspected of causing cancer. Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated.  Extremely flammable aerosol. 
Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: Causes Serious Eye Irritation
Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation. Allergic reactions are possible.
Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Prolonged or excessive inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed.

Chronic health effects

From SDS:
May cause central nervous system disorder (e.g., narcosis involving a loss of coordination, weakness, fatigue, mental confusion, and blurred vision) and/or damage. High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis, and blurred vision) and/or damage. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Overexposure to xylene in laboratory animals has been associated with liver abnormalities, kidney, lung, spleen, eye and blood damage as well as reproductive disorders. Effects in humans, due to chronic overexposure, have included liver, cardiac abnormalities and nervous system damage. 

Carcinogenicity

IARC lists Ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B).
