WARNING

Hazard statements

H333 - May be harmful if inhaled. Vapors containing hydrogen sulfide may accumulate during storage or transport. High level (700 ppm) acute exposure can result in sudden death. H226 - Flammable liquid and vapor H313 - May be harmful in contact with skin H320 - Causes eye irritation

Precautionary statements

P202 - Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P280 - Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P210 - Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. No smoking

2.3 Other hazards

Page 2 of 7 Inhalation: Breathing vapors, fumes, or mists may cause irritation to nasal and respiratory tract and central nervous system effects. Symptoms may include labored breathing, sore throat, coughing, wheezing, headache, and nausea. Some asphalts may contain sulfur compounds, which may form Hydrogen Sulfide when heating. At normal temperatures and pressures, this product is not likely to present an inhalation hazard. However, when heated, high concentrations of vapor may irritate the respiratory tract and hydrogen sulfide, a highly toxic gas, may be present. Inhaling hydrogen sulfide released from hot products in enclosed areas may cause unconsciousness, convulsions, suffocation, coma, and death. Signs and symptoms of overexposure to hydrogen sulfide include respiratory and eye irritation, dizziness, nausea, coughing, a sensation of dryness and pain in the nose, and loss of consciousness. Hydrogen Sulfide effects: 0.02 ppm Odor threshold. 10 ppm 8-hour per day exposure limit to Hydrogen Sulfide. 10-20 ppm Borderline concentration for eye irritation. 10-100 ppm Leads to eye damage. 100-150 ppm Olfactory nerve paralyzed after a few minutes, sense of smell disappears, and often awareness of danger. 320-530 ppm Leads to pulmonary edema with the possibility of death. 530-1,000 ppm Causes strong stimulation of central nervous system and rapid breathing. 800 ppm Lethal concentration of 50% of humans for a 5-minute exposure (LC50). >1,000 ppm Immediate collapse with loss of breathing, even after inhalation of a single breath. Do not depend on sense of smell for warning. Hydrogen Sulfide causes rapid olfactory fatigue (deadens sense of smell). Skin Contact: Contact with hot CM Multigrade asphalt can cause thermal burns. Prolonged exposure to vapors, fumes, or mists may cause irritation and redness. Eye Contact: Contact with hot CM Multigrade asphalt can cause thermal burns to the eyes. Prolonged exposure to vapors, fumes, or mists may cause irritation, redness, and tearing.
