Pyroil 0 ENGINE FLUSH

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance: liquid, clear CAUTION! COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. MAY AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM CAUSING DIZZINESS, HEADACHE OR NAUSEA. MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. MAY BE HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. MAY CAUSE SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY DRY SKIN AND CAUSE DERMATITIS AND BURNS. MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye Contact, Ingestion Eye contact Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Skin contact Can cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness and burning of skin, and other skin damage. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and drying and cracking of skin, skin burns, and other skin damage. Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible, and may add to toxic effects from breathing or swallowing. Ingestion Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and other lung injury. Inhalation It is possible to breathe this material under certain conditions of handling and use (for example, during heating, spraying, or stirring). Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful. Symptoms are not expected at air concentrations below the recommended exposure limits, if applicable (see Section 8.).

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material:, Skin, Upper respiratory tract, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), Liver, Kidney, urinary system, Exposure to this material may aggravate any preexisting condition sensitive to a decrease in available oxygen, such as chronic lung disease, coronary artery disease or anemias., Individuals with erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are particularly susceptible to hemolytic agents and rapidly develop hemolytic anemia from ingestion or inhalation of this material (or a component). Symptoms Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, and/or passage of the material through the skin may include:, sweating, Fever, stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), Lung irritation, central nervous system excitation (giddiness, liveliness, light-headed feeling) followed by central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness) and other central nervous system effects, Lowered blood pressure, Abdominal pain, Lack of coordination, confusion, Difficulty in breathing, Bloody urine, blood abnormalities (breakage of red blood cells), kidney damage, liver damage, lung damage, coma Target Organs Acute lethal exposure to ethylene glycol monobutyl ether in animal studies has resulted in congestion of organs including kidney, spleen, and lung., Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals:, mild, reversible spleen effects, blood abnormalities, cataracts, anemia, nasal damage, eye damage, kidney damage, liver damage, Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans:, cataracts, eye damage Carcinogenicity Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. In a National Toxicology Program (NTP) study, lifetime inhalation exposure to naphthalene resulted in increases in tumors of the nose in rats. In a previous NTP study, lifetime exposure to naphthalene caused lung tumors in female mice. Male mice with the same exposure did not develop tumors. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. Naphthalene is listed as carcinogenic by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) and the National Toxicology Program (NTP). Reproductive hazard This material (or a component) causes harm to the fetus.

Further information

Infants are more sensitive than adults to the toxic effects of naphthalene. Diapers or cloths stored with mothballs and used directly on infants have caused skin rashes and illness. Naphthalene vapors from clothing or blankets that had been stored in or near the infant's room have caused illness and death.
