Other hazards which do not result in classification

Vapours are heavier than air. Vapours may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger. This material has the potential to be a static accumulator. Electrostatic charges may be generated during pumping. Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. High gas concentrations will displace available air; unconsciousness and death may occur sud- denly from lack of oxygen. This product contains benzene which may cause leukaemia (AML - acute myelogenous leukae- mia). May cause MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome). Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and other hazardous vapours may evolve and accumulate in the head- space of storage tanks, transport vessels and other enclosed containers
