112 Octane Leaded Racing Gasoline

Potential health effects

Eye: Eye irritant. Contact may cause stinging, watering, redness, and swelling. Skin: Skin irritant. Contact may cause redness, itching, burning, and skin damage. Prolonged or repeated contact can worsen irritation by causing drying and cracking of the skin, leading to dematitis (inflammation). Contact may result in skin absorption but symptoms of toxicity are not anticipated by this route alone under normal conditions of use. Inhalation (Breathing): Low to moderate degree of toxicity by inhalation. Ingestion (Swallowing): Low to moderate degree of toxicity by ingestion. ASPIRATION HAZARD- This material can enter lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation and damage. Signs and Symptoms: Effects of overexposure may include irritation of the nose and throat, irritation of the digestive tract, coughing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, transient excitation followed by signs of nervous system depression (e.g., headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, disorientation and fatigue), Cancer: Inadequate evidence available to evaluate the cancer hazard of this material. See Section 11 for carcinogenic- ity information of individual components, if any. Target Organs: No data available for this material. There is limited evidence from animal studies that overexposure to a component may cause injury to the central nervous system, kidney, liver and sense of hearing (see Section 11). Developmental: No data available for this material. A component is a potential hazard to the fetus ( see Section 11). Other Comments: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with per- manent brain and nervous system damage (somtimes referred to as Solvent or Painter’s Syndrome). Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling this material may be harmful or fatal. Pre-Existing Medical Conditions: Conditions aggravated by exposure may include skin disorders, respiratory (asthma-like) disorders, kidney disorders and liver disorders. Exposure to high concentrations of this material may increase the sensitivity of the heart to certain drugs. Persons with pre-existing heart disorders may be more susceptible to this effect (see Section4- Note to Physicians).
