2.3 Other hazards

All components listed for this product are bound within the product. When handled as intended and under normal conditions of use, this product is not expected to create any physical hazards or health risks to humans. Due to product form, exposure to dusts and fumes is not expected to occur. Effect of Acute Exposure to Product/or the Raw Materials: This manufactured article as produced and when used under ambient conditions poses no health hazard. However, if the product is heated beyond 200°C or if it catches fire, then the major constituent asphalt emanates slightly irritating fumes. Melted asphalt (bitumen) from the product and the kraft paper could act as a fuel and contribute to fire. NIOSH has found that studies of workers exposed to asphalt fumes have repeatedly found irritation of the serous membranes of the conjunctivae (eye irritation) and the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract (nasal and throat irritation). Eyes: Asphalt fumes are moderately irritating to the eyes. Skin: Exposure to hot material causes thermal burns. Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely. Inhalation: Prolong inhalation of fumes from hot asphalt causes nausea, headache and dizziness. Carcinogenicity: NIOSH has concluded that the collective data from human, animal, genotoxicity and exposure studies provide sufficient evidence that roofing asphalt fumes are a potential occupational carcinogen. 2 HAZARD RATING (NFPA) HAZARD RATING (HMIS) HEALTH 1 HEALTH 1 FLAMABILITY 1 FLAMABILITY 1 REACTIVITY 0
