2.3 Other hazards
Given that the product is used hot, the main hazard for users is the possibility of burns upon contact with the molten product or its fumes. Heated bitumen will give off fumes. Even if it is assumed that these fumes do not constitute a serious health hazard, normal prudence recommends limiting exposure to the barest minimum, using correct work procedures and ensuring good ventilation of the work environment. Prolonged inhalation of the fumes produced by the hot product can irritate the respiratory tract. The fumes can contain hydrogen sulphide (a toxic, flammable gas), which can accumulate until hazardous concentrations are reached in the storage tanks. The product does not meet the PBT or vPvB classification criteria as per REACH annex XIII.
