Health hazards
DATA The major effect of exposure to this product is that it may cause giddiness, headache, central nervous system depression; possible irritation of eyes, nose, and lungs; and dermal irritation. Signs of kidney and liver damage may be delayed. Pulmonary irritation secondary to exhalation of solvent. HAZARDS OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can be found in engine exhaust and other forms of hydrocarbon combustion. Carbon Monoxide in moderate concentrations can cause symptoms of headache, nausea, vomiting, increased cardiac output, and confusion. Exposure to higher concentrations of carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness, heart damage, brain damage, and/or death. Exposure to high concentrations of carbon dioxide can cause simple asphyxiation by displacing available oxygen. Combustion of this and other similar materials should only be carried out in well ventilated areas.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Medical conditions which have the same symptoms and effects as those outlined under the health hazard information section can be aggravated by exposure to this product. MEDICAL LIMITATION: N/A
Principle Routes of Exposure
INHALATION: Irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, with possible euphoria, dizziness, headache, discoordination, ringing in the ears, convulsions, coma, and respiratory arrest. SKIN CONTACT: Defatting of the skin may occur with prolonged or repeated contact. Irritation and burning sensation may occur on exposure to the liquid or mists. SKIN ABSORPTION: Not significant. EYE CONTACT: Severe burning sensation with temporary irritation and swelling of lids. INGESTION: Irritation of the mucous membranes of throat, esophagus and stomach which may result in nausea and vomiting; central nervous system depression may occur, if absorbed (see Inhalation above). If aspirated, chemical pneumonitis may occur with potentially fatal results. Possible kidney and liver damaged may be delayed. (See Notes to Physician in Section 5) CARCINOGENICITY INFORMATION #2 Diesel Fuel is not listed as a human carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH. MUTAGENICITY/TERATOGENICITY/ REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION Mutagenicity: Positive results at 2.0 ml/kg and 6.0 ml/kg noted in mutagenesis studies via in-vivo bone marrow cytogenetics assay in rats.
Teratogenic Effects
No teratogenic effects are observed Reproductive Toxicity: No reproductive effects observed. FIRST AID MEASURES EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amount of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the entire eye surface. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: Wash contaminated areas with plenty of soap and water. A soothing ointment may be applied to irritated skin after thoroughly cleansing. Remove contaminated clothing and footwear. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: Get person out of contaminated area to fresh air. If breathing has stopped resuscitate and administer oxygen if readily available.

SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Do not induce vomiting, use gastric lavage only. Aspiration of liquid into the lungs could result in Chemical Pneumonitis. Use of Adrenaline is not advised. Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
