SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Emergency Overview COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION.

Aspiration hazard

IF SWALLOWED. CAN ENTER LUNGS AND CAUSE DAMAGE if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. Local irritation, burning sensation in mouth, esophagus, and stomach. Vomiting, belching, and diarrhea with blood- tinged feces. Drowsiness.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Dermal contact. Eye contact. Inhalation. Ingestion.

Potential Acute Health Effects

Eyes May cause eye irritation. Skin May cause skin irritation. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering. Inhalation May cause respiratrory tract irritation. Intoxication, dizziness, drowsiness, headache and nausea, weakness and fatigue. Burning sensation in chest, possible asphyxiation and unconsciousness. Inhalation of Hydrogen Sulfide can be extremely hazardous. Headache, dizziness, fatigue, upper respiratory irritation at low levels. Possible unconsciousness, respiratory failure, or DEATH can occur at higher levels. 800 ppm fatal in 30 minutes. Ingestion

Potential chronic health

Signs and symptoms of chronic exposure are similar to those of acute exposure. Skin: Effects dermatitis. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A3 (Proven for animals.) by ACGIH, Classified None. by OSHA [fuel, diesel no. 2]. Classified 3 (Not classifiable for humans.) by IARC [fuel, diesel no. 2]. Classified 2B (Possible for humans.) by IARC, 3 (Possible for humans.) by European Union. Classified 2 (Reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens.) by NTP. A4 (Not classifiable for humans or animals.) by ACGIH [for naphthalene]. Lifetime skin painting studies conducted by the American Petroleum Institute and others have shown that similar products boiling between 175-370 C (350-700 F) usually produce skin tumors and/or cancer in mice. The degree of carcinogenic response was weak to moderate with a relatively long latent period. The implications of these results for humans have not been determined. _
