H224

Extremely flammable liquid and vapour

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Flammable Liquids - Category 2 Acute Toxicity – Inhalation, Category 2 * Germ Cell Mutagenicity – Category 1B Carcinogenicity - Category 1A Toxic to Reproduction, Category 2 Specific Target Organ Toxicity Single Exposure - Category 3 – Narcotic Effects Specific Target Organ Toxicity Repeat Exposure - Category 2 Aspiration Hazard, Category 1 * Classification is due to the potential for Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) accumulation

Signal word

Danger

Physical hazards

H224: Extremely flammable liquid and vapor.

Environmental hazards

H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

Health hazards

H225: Highly flammable liquid and vapor. H304: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. H315: Causes skin irritation. H319: Causes serious eye irritation. H330: Fatal if inhaled. H340: May cause genetic effects. H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness. H350: May cause cancer. H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child. H373: May cause damage to organs or organ systems through prolonged or repeated exposure. EUH066: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Hydrogen sulphide is highly toxic and may be fatal if inhaled. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S), an extremely flammable and toxic gas, and other hazardous vapors may evolve and collect in the headspace of storage tanks, transport vessels and other enclosed containers. May dull the sense of smell, so do not rely on odor as an indication of hazard. H2S has a broad range of effects dependent on the airborne concentration and length of exposure: 0.02 ppm odor threshold, smell of rotten eggs; 10 ppm eye and respiratory tract irritation; 100 ppm coughing, headache, dizziness, nausea, eye irritation, loss of sense of smell in minutes; 200 ppm potential for pulmonary edema after >20-30 minutes; 500 ppm loss of consciousness after short exposures, potential for respiratory arrest; >1000ppm immediate loss of consciousness, may lead rapidly to death, prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation may be required. Do not depend on sense of smell for warning. H2S causes rapid olfactory fatigue. There is no evidence that H2S will accumulate in the body tissue after repeated exposure. Fumes from heated product may cause eye and lung irritation. Hot product can cause thermal burns. On rare occasions, Hydrogen Sulphide may be present which can accumulate to hazardous levels in enclosed spaces.

Prevention
