Hazard statements

Physical: H224: Extremely flammable liquid and vapour. Health: H304: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. H315: Causes skin irritation. H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness. H340: May cause genetic defects. H350: May cause cancer. H361d: Suspected of damaging the unborn child.

Environmental hazards

H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Ether oxygenates are significantly more soluble than other components of gasoline like benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes (BTEX) if released into groundwater. Ether oxygenates may also biodegrade more slowly, have the potential to move farther and faster in groundwater and have the potential to contaminate larger areas of groundwater than BTEX if released into groundwater.Material does not meet the criteria for PBT or vPvB in accordance with REACH Annex XIII.

Precautionary statements

General: P101: If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand. P102: Keep out of reach of children.

Prevention

P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P210: Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. P233: Keep container tightly closed. P240: Ground and bond container and receiving equipment. P241: Use explosion-proof electrical, ventilating, and lighting equipment. P242: Use non-sparking tools. P243: Take action to prevent static discharges. P261: Avoid breathing mist / vapours. P264: Wash skin thoroughly after handling. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P273: Avoid release to the environment. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.

Response

P301 + P310 IF SWALLOWED Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician P303 + P361 + P353 IF ON SKIN (or hair) Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water or shower. P304 + P340 IF INHALED Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing P308 + P313 IF exposed or concerned Get medical advice/ attention P312: Call a POISON CENTRE or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P331: Do NOT induce vomiting. P332 + P313 If skin irritation occurs Get medical advice/ attention P362 + P364: Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. P370 + P378 In case of fire Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish P391: Collect spillage.

Storage

P403 + P235: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool. P405: Store locked up.

Disposal

P501: Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local regulations.

Gasoline

Other physicochemical hazards

Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an ignition. Material can release vapours that readily form flammable mixtures. Vapour accumulation could flash and/or explode if ignited. Small leaks of this material can result in groundwater contamination levels above taste and odor thresholds for ether oxygenates (methyl tertiary butyl ether, ethyl tertiary butyl ether, tertiary amyl methyl ether or diisopropyl ether). Groundwater becomes unpalatable well below ether oxygenate concentrations that could affect human health.

Health hazards

High-pressure injection under skin may cause serious damage. May be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Exposure to benzene is associated with cancer (acute myeloid leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndrome), damage to the blood-producing system, and serious blood disorders (see Section 11).
