Potential health effects

Inhalation of fumes or vapors from heated product may cause skin, eye and respiratory tract irritation. Skin contact may cause skin irritation with discomfort or rash. MULTI FUNCTIONAL DIESEL FUEL TREATMENT Minute amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possible death. Individuals with preexisting diseases of the kidneys or liver may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures. Prolonged or repeated exposure to Ethylene Glycol N-Butyl Ether may cause skin irritation which may be slow to heal. A single prolonged exposure may result in the material being absorbed in harmful amounts. Excessive exposure may cause hemolysis, thereby impairing the blood’s ability to transport oxygen. Repeated minor exposure may result in absorption of harmful amounts. May cause moderate eye irritation which may be slow to heal. May cause moderate corneal injury. Effects may be slow to heal. Vapors of Ethylene Glycol N-Butyl Ether may irritate eyes. A single prolonged excessive inhalation exposure may cause adverse effects. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Observations in animals include blood and kidney effects. Single dose oral toxicity of Ethylene Glycol N-Butyl Ether is considered to be moderate. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. One case of Massive Ingestion (i.e. attempted suicide) reported blood (hemolysis) and kidney effects. Inhalation or ingestion of Heavy Aromatic Naphtha may cause central nervous system depression with anesthetic effects, such as dizziness, headache, confusion, in coordination and loss of consciousness. Higher exposures may result in fatality from gross overexposure. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Aspiration hazard! Small amounts aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause lung injury, possibly leading to death. Symptoms of aspiration into the lungs include coughing, gasping, choking, shortness of breath, bluish discolored skin, rapid breathing and heart rate. Chemical pneumonitis from aspiration may result in fever. Pulmonary edema or bleeding, drowsiness, confusion, coma and seizures may occur in more serious cases. Symptoms may develop immediately or as late as 24 -1- hours after the exposure, depending on how much chemical entered the lungs. Xylene can penetrate the skin in amounts capable of causing systemic toxicity. Eye contact may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing or blurring of vision. Inhalation of Ethylbenzene may cause irritation of the upper respiratory passages with coughing and discomfort. Inhalation or ingestion of Xylene or Ethylbenzene may cause nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache, or weakness; or temporary nervous system depression with anesthetic effects such as dizziness, headache, confusion, in coordination, and loss of consciousness. Inhalation or ingestion of Ethylbenzene may cause abnormal liver or kidney function. Aspiration of Ethyl benzene into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may lead to chemical pneumonitis. Ingestion of Xylene or Ethylbenzene may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation. Higher exposure to Xylene may lead to cardiac stress; anemia and other blood changes; respiratory effects; possible liver and kidney damage; or fatality from gross overexposure. Inhalation or ingestion of 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate may initially cause nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache, or weakness. Exposed workers reported throbbing headaches and heart palpitations. Data to evaluate the skin permeation hazard of this compound are insufficient. There are no reports of human sensitization. No adequate epidemiologic studies are available for this compound. Carcinogenicity Information: Vinyl Acetate Monomer, Naphthalene and Ethylbenzene have been classified by the Internal Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). This IARC classification was based upon limited evidence of carcinogenicity to animals and inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity to humans.
