Exposure limits are provided for information purposes only. 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE, THE PRODUCT IS NOT EXPECTED TO CREATE ANY EMERGENCY HAZARDS. INHALATION OF PRODUCT DUST MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION REMOVE AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS TO FRESH AIR. SKIN IRRITATION MAY BE TREATED BY WASHING AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. EYE IRRITATION MAY BE TREATED BY FLUSHING EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. HMIS Rating: NFPA Rating: Health - 1 Flammability - 1 Reactivity - 0 Potential Health Effects EYE CONTACT: If particles enter eye, may cause irritation resulting in tearing, stinging, redness or swelling. SKIN CONTACT: Primary route of exposure is skin contact. Repeated contact may cause skin irritation due to roughness of product. Redness, drying and cracking of the skin (dermatitis) may occur following prolonged and repeated contact. Prolonged or repeated skin contact could result in absorption of hazardous components. INGESTION: However, this product may cause irritation of the digestive tract followed by vomiting. Avoid aspiration of vomit into the lungs which can cause inflammation or pneumonitis. INHALATION: When product is heated, exposure to fumes, vapors or mists may cause irritation of the nose and throat, and possible signs of central nervous system depression (symptoms may include headache, dizziness, loss of coordination, and drowsiness). Loss of consciousness can occur in poorly ventilated or confined spaces. Additional signs and symptoms of exposure may include reduced appetite and abnormal fatigue. Use of this product in well-ventilated working conditions is not expected to cause adverse effects. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an extremely toxic gas, may be emitted from heated asphalt and may accumulate in storage tanks and other confined spaces. At low concentrations (< 1 ppm), H2S can be irritating to the eyes, nose and throat, and at high concentrations (>500 ppm) can cause rapid unconsciousness and death. The odor of H2S cannot be used as an indicator of exposure, because the gas causes rapid olfactory fatigue which deadens the sense of smell. Use this product only under well-ventilated working conditions. CHRONIC EFFECT/CARCINOGENICITY/SPECIAL TOXIC EFFECTS: This product contains petroleum asphalt. Petroleum asphalt is not listed as a carcinogen by OSHA or NTP. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined there is inadequate evidence that asphalt alone is carcinogenic to humans, and that there is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of undiluted air-refined asphalts in experimental animals. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), has concluded that at higher temperatures roofing asphalt fumes are a potential occupational carcinogen. If this product is heated or comes in contact with heated material, avoid breathing fumes. This product may contain small amounts of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH’s) which are recognized carcinogens in humans and experimental animals. This product contains small amounts of respirable crystalline silica (quartz and crystobalite). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) have determined that there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of respirable crystalline silica in experimental animals and limited evidence for its carcinogenicity in humans. Prolonged and repeated exposure to respirable silica-containing dust may have serious lung effects including silicosis, bronchitis and lung cancer. The physical nature of this product may help limit any inhalation hazard from crystalline silica during application and in its hardened state. However, physical forces such as grinding, drilling and other demolition work on the hardened product may liberate crystalline silica dust.
