Speedway E85

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW DANGER! FUMES MAY CAUSE EYE AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE OVEREXPOSURE MAY CAUSE CNS DEPRESSION BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE IRREGULAR HEARTBEATS WHICH MAY BE FATAL DANGER - CONTAINS BENZENE - MAY CAUSE CANCER POTENTIAL REPRODUCTIVE HAZARD SEE TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE OR EXPLOSION MATERIAL MAY ACCUMULATE STATIC CHARGE STABLE Inhalation: Breathing high concentrations may be harmful. May cause central nervous system depression or effects. Symptoms may include headache, excitation, euphoria, dizziness, incoordination, drowsiness, light-headedness, blurred vision, fatigue, tremors, convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest and death, depending on the concentration and duration of exposure. Breathing high concentrations of this material, for example, in a confined space or by intentional abuse, can cause irregular heartbeats which can cause death. See Toxicological Effects (Section 11) for more information. Ingestion: Swallowing this material may be harmful. May cause irritation of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract. May cause central nervous system depression or effects. Symptoms may include salivation, pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Exposure may also cause central nervous system symptoms similar to those listed under "Inhalation" (see Inhalation section). Skin contact: Contact may cause reddening, itching and inflammation. Skin contact may cause harmful effects in other parts of the body. Eye contact: Contact may cause pain and severe reddening and inflammation of the conjunctiva. Effects may become more serious with repeated or prolonged contact. Carcinogenic Evaluation: Product information: Name IARC NTP ACGIH - OSHA - Select Carcinogens: Speedway E85 NE Mixture Notes: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that there is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of gasoline in humans. IARC determined that limited evidence of carcinogenicity in animals exists. IARC`s overall evaluation of gasoline, in spite of limited carcinogenicity evidence, has resulted in the IARC designation of gasoline as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) because gasoline contains benzene. IARC has determined that there is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of gasoline engine exhaust in humans or animals. However, IARC`s overall evaluation on gasoline engine exhaust, in spite of the absence of carcinogenicity data, has resulted in the IARC designation of gasoline engine exhaust as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) because of the presence of certain engine exhaust components.

The International Agency for Reasearch on Cancer (IARC) has determined that there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of alcoholic beverages (ethanol) in humans (Group 1). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that ethyl benzene is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have determined that naphthalene is a possible human carcinogen.
