3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EYE: Contact may cause mild eye irritation including stinging, watering and
redness.
SKIN: Skin irritant. Contact may cause redness, itching, burning and skin damage.
Prolonged or repeated contact can worsen irritation by causing drying and
cracking of the skin, leading to dermatitis (inflammation). Not acutely
toxic by skin absorption, but prolonged or repeated skin contact may be
harmful (see Section 11).
INHALATION (BREATHING): Low to moderate degree of toxicity by inhalation.
INGESTION (SWALLOWING): Low degree of toxicity by ingestion. ASPIRATION HAZARD ?br>
This material can enter lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung
inflammation and damage.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Effects of overexposure may include nausea, vomiting, flushing,
transient excitation followed by signs of nervous system depression (e.g.
headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, disorientation and
fatigue), blurred vision, tremors, respiratory failure, unconsciousness,
convulsions and death.
CANCER: Possible cancer hazard (see Sections 11 and 15).
TARGET ORGANS: Inadequate evidence available for this material. See Section 11 for
target-organ toxicity information of individual components, if any.
DEVELOPMENTAL: No harm to the fetus was observed in laboratory animal studies.
OTHER COMMENTS: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational
overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage
(sometimes referred to as Solvent or Painters' Syndrome). Intentional misuse
by deliberately concentrating and inhaling this material may be harmful or
fatal.
PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS: Conditions aggravated by exposure may include
skin disorders and respiratory (asthma-like) disorders.
Exposure to high concentrations of this material may increase the sensitivity
of the hart to certain drugs. Persons with pre-existing heart disorders may
be more susceptible to this effect (see Section 4 ?Note to Physicians).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EYE: If irritation or redness develops, move victims away from exposure and into
fresh air. Flush eyes with clean water. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention.
SKIN: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing, and flush affected area(s) with
large amounts of water. If skin surface is damaged, apply a clean dressing
and seek medical attention. If skin surface is not damaged, cleanse affected
Page 3 of 12
area(s) thoroughly by washing with mild soap and water. If irritation or
redness develops, seek medical attentions.
INHALATION (BREATHING): If respiratory symptoms or other symptoms of exposure
develop, move victim away from source of exposure and into fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek immediate medical attention. If victim is not
breathing, clear airway and immediately begin artificial respiration. If
breathing difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified
personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
INGESTION (SWALLOWING): Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vomiting or give anything
by mouth because this material can enter the lungs and cause severe lung
damage. If victim is drowsy or unconscious and vomiting, place on the left
side with the head down. If possible, do not leave victim unattended and
observe closely for adequacy of breathing. Seek medical attention.
NOT TO PHYSICIANS: Epinephrine and other sympathomimetic drugs may initiate
cardiac arrhythmias is personal exposed to high concentrations of hydrocarbon
solvents (e.g., in enclosed spaces or with deliberate abuse). The use of
other drugs with less arrythmogenic potential should be considered. If
sympathomimetic drugs are administered, observe for the development of
cardiac arrhythmias.
Federal regulations (29 CFR 1910.1028) specify medical surveillance programs
for certain exposures to benzene above the action level or PEL (specified in
Section (i)(1)(i) of the Standard). In addition, employees exposed in an
emergency situation shall, as described in Section (i)(4)(i), provide a urine
sample at the end of the shift for measurement of urine phenol.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: Flash Point: -49癋/-45癈
OSHA Flammability Class: Flammable Liquid
LEL%: 1.4 / UEL%: 7.6
Autoignition Temperature: 833癋/444癈
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This material is extremely flammable and can be
ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition (e.g. static
electricity, pilot lights, mechanical/electrical equipment, and electronic
devices such as cell phones, computers, calculators, and pagers which have
not been certified as intrinsically safe). Vapors may travel considerable
distances to a source of ignition where they can ignite, flash back, or
explode. May create vapor/air explosion hazard indoors, in confined spaces,
outdoors, or in sewers. Vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in
low areas. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat
of a fire.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam is recommended. Water
spray is recommended by cool or protect exposed materials or structures.
Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide
in confined spaces. Water may be ineffective for extinguishment, unless used
under favorable conditions by experienced fire fighters.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: For fires beyond the incipient stage emergency
responders in the immediate hazard area should wear bunker gear. When the
potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, or when
Page 4 of 12
explicitly required by DOT, a self contained breathing apparatus should be
worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions
warrant (see Section 8).
Isolate immediate hazard area, keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop
spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Move undamaged containers
from immediate hazard area if it can be done with minimal risk.
Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors and to protect
personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done with
minimal risk. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling
purposes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. Keep all sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces away from
spill/release. The use of explosion-proof equipment is recommended.
Stay upwind and away from spill/release. Notify persons down wind of the
spill release, isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel
out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Water
appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as
conditions warrant (see Section 8.)
Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other
unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways. Dike far ahead of
spill for later recovery or disposal. Use foam on spills to minimize vapors
(see Section 5). Spilled material may be absorbed into an appropriate
absorbent material.
Notify fire authorizes and appropriate federal, state and local agencies.
Immediate cleanup of any spill is recommended. If spill of any amount is
made into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining
shorelines, notify the National Response Center (phone number 800-424-8802).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING: Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. Bond and ground all
equipment when transferring from one vessel to another. Can accumulate
static charge by flow or agitation. Can be ignited by static discharge. The
use of explosion-proof equipment is recommended any may be required (see
appropriate fire codes.
Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper
entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR 1910.146. The use of
appropriate respiratory protection is advised when concentrations exceed any
established exposure limits (see Sections 2 and 8).
Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes.
Keep contaminated clothing away from sources of ignition such as sparks or
open flames. Use good personal hygiene practices.
High pressure injection of hydrocarbon fuels, hydraulic oils or greases under
the skin may have serious consequences even though no symptoms or injury may
Page 5 of 12
be apparent. This can happen accidentally when using high pressure equipment
such as high pressure grease guns, fuel injection apparatus or from pinhole
leaks in tubing or high pressure hydraulic oil equipment.
"Empty" containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize,
cut, weld, braze, solder drill, grind, or exposure such containers to heat
flame, sparks or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause
injury or death. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly
bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All
containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in
accordance with governmental regulations.
Before working on or in tanks which contain or have contained this material,
refer to OSHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1 and other referenced pertaining to
cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations.
STORAGE: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool,
dry, well-ventilated areas away from heat, direct sunlight, hot metal
surfaces, and all sources of ignition. Post area "No Smoking or Open Flame."
Store only in approved containers. Keep away from any incompatible material
(see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage. Outdoor or
detached storage is preferred. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and
appropriate fire codes.
PORTABLE CONTAINERS: Static electricity may ignite gasoline vapors when filling
portable containers. To avoid static buildup do not use a nozzle lock open
device. Use only approved containers for the storage of gasoline. Place the
container on the ground before filling. Keep the nozzle in contact with the
container during filling.
Do not fill any portable container in or on a vehicle or marine craft.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to
maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure limits (see
Section 2), additional engineering controls may be required. Where explosive
mixtures may be present, electrical systems safe for such locations must be
used (see appropriate electrical codes).
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):
RESPIRATORY: A NIOSH certified air purifying respirator with an organic
vapor cartridge may be used under conditions where airborne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits (see Section 2).
Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited (see
manufacturer's respirator selection guide). Use a NIOSH approved self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or equivalent operated in a
pressure demand or other positive pressure mode if there is potential
for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any
other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
Page 6 of 12
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and
ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions
warrant a respirator's use.
SKIN: The use of gloves impervious to the specific material handled is
advised to prevent skin contact, possible irritation, and skin damage.
Examples of approved materials are nitrile, or Viton?(see glove
manufacturer literature for information on permeability). Depending on
conditions of use, apron and/or arm covers may be necessary.
EYE/FACE: Approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye
contact, irritation, or injury is recommended. Depending on conditions
of use, a face shield may be necessary.
OTHER PROTECTION EQUIPMENT: A source of clean water should be available in
the work area for flushing eyes and skin. Impervious clothing should
be worn as needed.
Suggestions for the use of specific protective materials are based on
readily available published data. Users should check with specific
manufacturers to confirm the performance of their products.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GASOLINE (CAS# NONE)
CARCINOGENICITY: Two year inhalation studies of wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline
produced increased incidences of kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors
in female mice. Follow-up studies suggest that occurrence of the kidney
tumors may be linked to alpha-2-uglobulin nephropathy, and most likely unique
to the male rat. Epidemiology data collected from study or more than 18,000
petroleum marketing and distribution workers showed no increased risk of
leukemia, multiple myeloma, or kidney cancer from gasoline exposure.
Unleaded gasoline has been identified as a possible carcinogen by IARC.
Because solvent extracts of gasoline exhaust particulates caused skin cancer
in laboratory animals, IARC has categorized gasoline engine exhaust as a
possible human cancer hazard.
TARGET ORGAN(S): A two year inhalation study of wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline
produced nephropathy in male rats, characterized by the accumulation of
alpha-2-u globulin in epithelial cells of the proximal tubules, and necrosis
and hyperplasia of surrounding cells. Follow-up studies have demonstrated
that these changes are unique to the male rat.
Although prolonged exposure to n-hexane, a component of gasoline, has
resulted in adverse male reproductive effects in experimental animal studies,
no averse male reproductive effects ere found in studies conducted with
gasoline.
DEVELOPMENT: No evidence of developmental toxicity was found in pregnant
laboratory animals (rats and mice) exposed to up to 9,000 ppm vapor of
unleaded gasoline via inhalation.
XYLENES (CAS#1330-20-7)
TARGET ORGAN(S): A six week inhalation study with xylene produced hearing loss in
rats.
DEVELOPMENTAL: Exposure to toluene during pregnancy has demonstrated limited
evidence of developmental toxicity in laboratory animals. The effects seen
include decreased fetal body weight and increased skeletal variations in both
inhalation and oral studies.
BENZENE (CAS#71-43-2
CARCINOGENICITY: Benzene is an animal carcinogen and is known to product acute
Page 8 of 12
myelogenous leukemia (a form of cancer) in humans. Benzene has been
identified as a human carcinogen by NTP, IARC and OSHA.
TARGET ORGAN(S): Prolonged or repeated exposures to benzene vapors has been lined
to bone marrow toxicity which can result in blood disorders such as
leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, and aplastic anemia. All of these diseases can
be fatal.
DEVELOPMENTAL: Exposure to benzene during pregnancy demonstrated limited evidence
of developmental toxicity in laboratory animals. The effects seen include
decreased body weight and increased skeletal variations in rodents.
Alternations in hematopoeisis have been observed in the fetuses and offspring
of pregnant mice.
MUTAGENICITY: Benzene exposure has resulted in chromosomal aberrations in human
lymphocytes and animal bone marrow cells, and DNA damage in mammalian cells
in vitro.
ETHYL BENZENE (CAS@ 100-41-4)
CARCINOGENICITY: Rats and mice exposed to 0, 75, 250, 750 ppm ethyl benzene in a
two year inhalation study demonstrated limited evidence of kidney, liver and
lung cancer. Ethyl benzene has been listed as a possible human carcinogen by
IARC. Ethyl benzene has not been listed as a carcinogen by NTP or OSHA.
TARGET ORGAN(S): In rats and mice exposed to 0, 75, 250, 750 ppm ethyl benzene in
a two year inhalation study there was mild damage to the kidney (tubular
hyperplasia), liver (eosinophillio foci, hypertrophy, necrosis), thyroid
(hyperplasia) and pituitary (hyperplasia).
n-HEXANE (CAS#110-54-3)
TARGET ORGAN(S): Excessive exposure to n-hexane can result in peripheral
neuropathies. The initial symmetrical sensory numbness and parasthesias of
distal portions of the extremities. Motor weakness is typical observed in
muscles of the toes and fingers but may also involve muscles of the arms,
thighs and forearms. The onset of these symptoms may be delayed for several
months to a year after the beginning of exposure. The neurotoxic properties
of n-hexane are potentiated by exposure to methyl ethyl ketone and methyl
isobutyl ketone.
Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of n-hexane (>1,000 ppm) has
resulted in decreased sperm count and degenerative changes in the testes of
rats but not those of mice.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spilling of gasoline can result in environmental damage.
Gasoline floats on water and evaporates rapidly from water or soil surfaces.
However, spilled gasoline may penetrate soil and could contaminate groundwater.
Gasoline is biodegradable but in situations of low oxygen, such as in soil below
grade or in groundwater, may persist for many years.
Gasoline does not readily dissolve in water but will be adsorbed to soils.
Gasoline in the environment can be toxic to plants and animals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This materials, if discarded as produced, would be a RCRA "characteristic"
hazardous waste due to the characteristic(s) of ignitability (D001) and benzene
(D018). If the spilled or released material impacts soil, water, or other media,
characteristic testing of the contaminated materials may be required prior to their
disposal. Further, this material, once it becomes a waste, is subject to the land
disposal restrictions in 40 CFR 268.40 and may require treatment prior to disposal
to meet specific standards. Consult state and local regulations to determine
whether they are more stringent than the federal requirements.
Page 10 of 12
Container contents should be completely used and containers should be emptied prior
to discard. Container rinsate could be considered a RCRA hazardous waste and must
be disposed of with care and in full compliance with federal, state and local
regulations. Larger empty containers, such as drums, should be returned to the
distributor or to a drum reconditioner. To assure proper disposal of smaller empty
containers, consult with state and local regulations and disposal authorities.
