SECTION 2: Hazards identification

IMMEDIATE HAZARDS DANGER HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! OSHA/NFPA Class IB flammable liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Never siphon gas by mouth. Harmful if swallowed. Contains petroleum distillates.

Aspiration hazard

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting since aspiration into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonia. Obtain prompt medical attention. Prolonged or repeated liquid contact may cause irritation. High vapor concentrations (greater than 1000 ppm) may cause irritation to eyes and respiratory system and may cause dizziness and other nervous system effects. Generally, human exposures to gasoline are considerably lower than levels which have caused adverse health effects in animal studies or human case studies of gasoline misuse or abuse (such as gasoline sniffing). Adverse This material can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and may cause acute lung inflammation and damage which in severe cases may be fatal. Ingestion may cause irritation of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract leading to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and restlessness. May cause headache, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, loss of coordination, fatigue, nausea and labored breathing. May lead to unconsciousness, convulsions, and possibly death. Print Date: 05/19/2003 MSDS No. APPC975 Ver. 1 Summary of Exposures at airborne concentrations well above the recommended exposure limits in Chronic Hazards Section 2 may aggravate medical conditions such as chronic respiratory diseases, and Special cardiovascular disease, skin diseases, or blood disorders.

Potential health effects

are not expected to occur at exposure levels typically encountered in the use of gasoline as a motor fuel. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Use only with adequate ventilation. Use as a motor fuel only. Do not use as a cleaning solvent, thinner or for other non-motor fuel use. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Prolonged/repeated exposures above the recommended exposure limits via skin contact, inhalation or ingestion of this material may result in adverse dermal or systemic effects. Avoid prolonged or repeated overexposure. Contains benzene, a chemical known to cause cancer in humans. Repeated and prolonged overexposure to benzene vapors may cause leukemia, aplastic anemia, or other blood disorders, immunotoxicity, reproductive harm or fetal toxicity. Neurotoxic effects have been associated with n-hexane, a component of this material upon prolonged or repeated overexposure. Generally, human exposures to gasoline are considerably lower than levels which have caused adverse health effects in animal studies or human case studies of gasoline misuse or abuse (such as gasoline sniffing). Adverse health effects are not expected to occur at exposure levels typically encountered in the use of gasoline as a motor fuel. See Section 11 for Additional Toxicological Information. EMERGENCY and FIRST AID Inhalation Immediately move personnel to area with fresh air. For respiratory distress, give oxygen, rescue breathing or administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Obtain prompt medical attention.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Signs and Symptoms Inhalation Exposures at airborne concentrations well above the recommended exposure limits in (Primary) Section 2 may cause irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, loss of coordination, fatigue, nausea, labored breathing and irregular heartbeats. May lead to unconsciousness, convulsions, and possibly death. Eye Contact May cause some transitory eye irritation but not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation. Skin Contact Moderate skin irritation may occur upon short-term exposure. May be absorbed and contribute to the acute inhalation health effects (see above). Ingestion
