Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, skin contact Signs and Symptoms of Eye contact may cause moderate eye irritation, redness, Exposure: tearing and blurred vision. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation, dermatitis and drying of the skin.

May cause unconsciousness if exposure is excessive.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Pre-existing lung, skin or nervous system disorders may be Exposure: aggravated by exposure to this material.

Potential chronic health

May cause kidney, ureter, bladder and blood damage based upon animal studies. Carcinogenicity: Animal inhalation studies have not yielded sufficient evidence of asphalt induced lung cancer and only limited investigation has been done on the chemical properties and the metabolic changes caused by petroleum asphalt fumes. A roofing petroleum asphalt proved non-carcinogenic to the skin of mice and rabbits, although the condensates of coal tar fumes proved highly carcinogenic. Petroleum asphalt is listed by IARC as a class 3, unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans.
