Other hazards which do not result in classification

This product contains minor amounts of materials derived from petroleum and/or coal (such as petroleum pitch and/or coal tar pitch). These materials, in turn, contain compounds, which are carcinogenic. Petroleum pitch contains poly-nuclear aromatic compounds, some of which have been identified as carcinogenic. Based on this, NIOSH has identified petroleum pitch as a carcinogenic material. IARC has reported that there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of “untreated and mildly refined mineral oils” in humans, but no adequate data is available to evaluate the carcinogenicity of “highly refined mineral oils”. Coal tars are by products of the destructive distillation of coal to produce coke and/or gas, and are believed to contain from400- 10,000 separate compounds. One important class of compounds present in coal tars is the so- called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). While not all PAHs have been determined to be human carcinogens, many have. The NTP Seventh Annual Report on Carcinogens (1994) listed 15 PAH compounds which “may reasonably be anticipated to be carcinogens”. 2.5. Unknown acute toxicity No additional information available
