Hazard statements

EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE. CAUSES EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. MAY BE HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. CAN ENTER LUNGS AND CAUSE DAMAGE. CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT CAN CAUSE TARGET ORGAN DAMAGE. CANCER HAZARD - CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH CAN CAUSE CANCER. POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTAL HAZARD - CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH MAY CAUSE ADVERSE DEVELOPMENTAL EFFECTS, BASED ON ANIMAL DATA.

Precautionary statements

Extremely flammable. Material can release vapors that readily form flammable mixtures. Vapor accumulation could flash and/or explode if ignited. Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an incendiary electrical discharge. Irritating to skin. If swallowed, may be aspirated and cause lung damage. May be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. May cause central nervous system depression. High-pressure injection under skin may cause serious damage. Prolonged and repeated exposure to benzene may cause serious injury to blood forming organs and is associated with anemia and to the later development of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).

Potential Acute Health Effects

Inhalation : Minimally Toxic. Elevated temperatures or mechanical action may form vapors, mist, or fumes which may be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, or lungs. Ingestion : Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. May be harmful if swallowed. Skin : Moderately irritating to skin with prolonged exposure. May be harmful in contact with skin. Eyes : May cause mild, short-lasting discomfort to eyes. Potential chronic health effects

Potential chronic health

Contains material that can cause target organ damage. Carcinogenicity : Contains material which can cause cancer. Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of exposure. Mutagenicity : No known significant effects or critical hazards.

Teratogenic Effects

No known significant effects or critical hazards. Developmental effects : Contains material which may cause developmental abnormalities, based on animal data. Fertility effects : No known significant effects or critical hazards. Target organs : Contains material which may cause damage to the following organs: blood, kidneys, the reproductive system, liver, gastrointestinal tract, upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes, bone marrow, central nervous system (CNS). Over-exposure signs/symptoms Inhalation : Adverse symptoms may include the following: respiratory tract irritation coughing Ingestion : No specific data. Skin : Adverse symptoms may include the following: irritation redness Eyes : Adverse symptoms may include the following: pain or irritation watering redness Medical conditions aggravated by over- exposure : For the product itself: Laboratory animal studies have shown that prolonged and repeated inhalation exposure to light hydrocarbon vapors in the same boiling range as this product can produce adverse kidney effects in male rats. However, these effects were not observed in similar studies with female rats, male and female mice, or in limited studies with other animal species. Additionally, in a number of human studies, there was no clinical evidence of such effects at normal occupational levels. In 1991, The U.S. EPA determined that the male rat kidney is not useful for assessing human risk. Vapor concentrations above recommended exposure levels are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract, may cause headaches and dizziness, are anesthetic and may have other central nervous system effects. Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis or pulmonary edema. Gasoline unleaded: Caused cancer in animal tests. Chronic inhalation studies resulted in liver tumors in female mice and kidney tumors in male rats. Neither result considered significant for human health risk assessment by the United States EPA and others. Did not cause mutations In Vitro or In Vivo. Negative in inhalation developmental studies and reproductive tox studies.Inhalation of high concentrations in animals resulted in reversible central nervous system depression, but no persistent toxic effect on the nervous system. Non-sensitizing in test animals. Caused nerve damage in humans from abusive use (sniffing). See toxicological information (section 11)
