Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin if product is in liquid state PPE† †Sec. 8 Inhalation: Inhalation of mists, vapors or fumes may cause headache, nausea, and dizziness. Prolonged exposure to hot asphalt fumes may produce respiratory irritation, pulmonary edema and hypoxia. Eyes: Exposure to mists, vapors or fumes may cause irritation. Direct contact with hot material will cause thermal burns and possible blindness. Crafco Roadsaver, etc. Skin: Direct contact with hot material will cause thermal burns. Prolonged exposure may cause dermatitis, drying or irritation. Ingestion: None expected. Ingestion of hot material will cause thermal burn. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, irritation, nausea, vomiting, blockage and diarrhea. Carcinogenicity: There is inadequate evidence that bitumens alone are carcinogenic to humans. There is sufficient evidence for the extracts of steam-refined bitumens, air-refined bitumens and pooled mixtures of steam- and air-refined bitumens in experimental animals. There is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of undiluted air-refined bitumens in experimental animals. There is limited evidence for the carcinogenicity of undiluted steam-refined bitumens and for cracking residue bitumens in experimental animals.
