Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: pale yellow liquid. Flash Point: 71.1 deg C.
Warning! May be harmful or fatal if inhaled or swallowed. Combustible liquid and vapor. Causes eye and skin irritation. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause blood abnormalities. May cause central nervous system depression. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Target Organs: Central nervous system, lungs, respiratory system, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis. May be absorbed through damaged or abraded skin in harmful amounts.
Ingestion: Aspiration hazard. May cause severe digestive tract irritation with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May cause central nervous system depression. Exposure by ingestion may also cause adverse effects in the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Exposure produces central nervous system depression. Aspiration may cause respiratory swelling and pneumonitis. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated inhalation of dusts may cause neurological damage. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis. May cause anemia and other blood cell abnormalities.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately.
Skin: Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Liquid will float and may reignite on the surface of water. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Combustible liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of water. For large fires, use water spray, fog or regular foam. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Flash Point: 71.1 deg C ( 159.98 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 210 deg C ( 410.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:0.7
Upper: 5.0
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 2; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section). Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as sawdust. Provide ventilation. Water spray may reduce vapor but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.

Carcinogenicity:
CAS# 64742-14-9: Not listed by ACGIH, IARC, NTP, or CA Prop 65.

Epidemiology: Ingestion of kerosene has been known to produce rapid death by gross aspiration and occlusion of the respiratory system. Even when death does not occur promptly, there is abundant evidence that the pneumonia commonly seen in children who swallow kerosene usually results from aspiration. The aspiration usually occurs at the moment of ingestion or as the result of vomiting within the first hour
