PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS:
Fire Fighting Instructions: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and to protect
personnel. For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space
without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Combustion Products: Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex mixture of
airborne solids, liquids, and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified
organic compounds will be evolved when this material undergoes combustion.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in the vicinity of the spill or released
vapor. If this material is released into the work area, evacuate the area immediately. Monitor area
with combustible gas indicator.
Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to
prevent further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as
possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate
techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. All equipment used
when handling the product must be grounded. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce
vapors. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Where feasible and
appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials in disposable containers and
dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guard's National Response
Center at (800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required. This material is covered by EPA's
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Petroleum
Exclusion. Therefore, releases to the environment may not be reportable under CERCLA.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautionary Measures: READ AND OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS ON PRODUCT
LABEL. This product presents an extreme fire hazard. Liquid very quickly evaporates, even at low
temperatures, and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive
violence. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot
lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
70

Use only as a motor fuel. Do not use for cleaning, pressure appliance fuel, or any other such
use. Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do
not taste or swallow. Do not breathe vapor or fumes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep out of
the reach of children.
Unusual Handling Hazards: WARNING! Do not use as portable heater or appliance fuel. Toxic
fumes may accumulate and cause death.
General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage
and drainage systems and bodies of water.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when
handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may
not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating an
accumulation of electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container
filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation,
and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For more information,
refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, `Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA 77, `Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the
American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, `Protection Against Ignitions
Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents'. Improper filling of portable gasoline containers
creates danger of fire. Only dispense gasoline into approved and properly labeled gasoline
containers. Always place portable containers on the ground. Be sure pump nozzle is in contact
with the container while filling. Do not use a nozzle's lock-open device. Do not fill portable
containers that are inside a vehicle or truck/trailer bed.
General Storage Information: DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks or open flames. USE
AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep container closed when not in use.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to
empty container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue
(solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of
ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely
drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 3), applicable exposure limits, job
activities, and other substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and
selecting personal protective equipment. If engineering controls or work practices are not
adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the personal protective equipment
listed below is recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions and limitations
supplied with the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time or under certain
circumstances.
71
Part Two
Appendix E--Sample Material Safety Data Sheets for Gasoline and No. 2 Diesel Fuel
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels below the recommended exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye/Face Protection: No special eye protection is normally required. Where splashing is
possible, wear safety glasses with side shields as a good safety practice.
Skin Protection: No special protective clothing is normally required. Where splashing is possible,
select protective clothing depending on operations conducted, physical requirements and other
substances in the workplace. Suggested materials for protective gloves include: Chlorinated
Polyethylene (or Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene), Nitrile Rubber, Polyurethane, Viton.
Respiratory Protection: Determine if airborne concentrations are below the recommended
exposure limits. If not, wear an approved respirator that provides adequate protection from
measured concentrations of this material, such as: Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors.
When used as a fuel, this material can produce carbon monoxide in the exhaust. Determine if
airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit for carbon monoxide. If not,
wear an approved positive-pressure air-supplying respirator.
Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances where air-purifying respirators
may not provide adequate protection.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS
Eye Irritation: The Draize eye irritation mean score in rabbits for a 24-hour exposure was: 0/110.
Skin Irritation: For a 4-hour exposure, the Primary Irritation Index (PII) in rabbits is: 4.8/8.0.

Acute Oral Toxicity: LD50: >5 ml/kg (rat)
Acute Inhalation Toxicity: 4 hour(s) LD50: >2000ppm (rat).
ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION:
Gasolines are highly volatile and can produce significant concentrations of vapor at ambient
temperatures. Gasoline vapor is heavier than air and at high concentrations may accumulate in
confined spaces to present both safety and heath hazards. When vapor exposures are low, or
short duration and infrequent, such as during refuelling and tanker loading/unloading, neither total
hydrocarbon nor components such as benzene are likely to result in any adverse health effects. In
situations such as accidents or spills where exposure to gasoline vapor is potentially high,
attention should be paid to potential toxic effects of specific components. Information about
specific components in gasoline can be found in Sections 2, 8 and 15 of this MSDS.
NEUROTOXICITY: Pathological misuse of solvents and gasoline, involving repeated and prolonged
exposure to high concentrations of vapor is a significant exposure on which there are many reports
in the medical literature. As with other solvents, persistent abuse involving repeated and prolonged
exposures to high concentrations of vapor has been reported to result in central nervous system
damage and eventually, death. In a study in which ten human volunteers were exposed for 30
minutes to approximately 200, 500 or 1000 ppm concentrations of gasoline vapor, irritation of the
eyes was the only significant effect observed, based on both subjective and objective
assessments. In an inhalation study, groups of 6 Fischer rats (3 male. 3 female) were exposed to
2056 ppm of wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline for 6 hours per day, 5 day per week for up to 18
months. Histopathology of the peripheral nervous system and spinal cord revealed no distal axonal
neuropthy of the type associated with exposure to n-hexane even though gasoline contained 1.9%
n-hexane. The authors concluded that gasoline treatment may have amplified the incidence and
prominence of some naturally occurring age-related (subclinical) in the nervous system.
BIRTH DEFECTS AND REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: An inhalation study with rats exposed to 0,
400 and 1600 ppm of wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline, 6 hours per day on day 6 through 16 of
gestation, showed no teratogenic effects nor indication of toxicity to either the mother or the
fetus. Another inhalation study in rats exposed to 3000, 6000, or 9000 ppm of gasoline vapor, 6
hours per day on day 6 through 20 of gestation, also showed no teratogenic effects nor indications
of toxicity to either the mother or the fetus.
74
Part Two
Appendix E--Sample Material Safety Data Sheets for Gasoline and No. 2 Diesel Fuel
CHRONIC TOXICITY/CANCER: Wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline was used in a 3 month
inhalation study. Groups of 40 rats (20 males, 20 female) and 8 squirrel monkeys (4 male, 4
female) were exposed 6 hours per day and 5 days per week for 13 weeks to 384 or 1552 ppm
gasoline. One group of each species served as unexposed controls. The initial conclusion of this
study was that inhalation of gasoline at airborne concentrations of up to 1522 ppm caused no
toxicity in rats or monkeys. However, further histopathological examination of male rat kidneys on
the highest dose group revealed an increased incidence and severity of regenerative epithelium
and dilated tubules containing proteinaceous deposits. Lifetime inhalation of wholly vaporized
unleaded gasoline at 2056 ppm has caused increased liver tumors in female mice. The
mechanism of this response is still being investigated but it is thought to be an epigenetic process
unique to the female mouse.
This exposure also caused kidney damage and eventually kidney cancer in male rats. No other
animal model studied has shown these adverse kidney effects and there is no physiological
reason to believe that they would occur in man. EPA has concluded that mechanism by which
wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline causes kidney damage is unique to the male rat. The effects
in that species (kidney damage and cancer) should not be used in human risk assessment. In their
1988 review of carcinogenic risk from gasoline, The International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC) noted that, because published epidemiology studies did not include any exposure data,
only occupations where gasoline exposure may have occurred were reviewed. These included
gasoline service station attendants and automobile mechanics. IARC also noted that there was no
opportunity to separate effects of combustion products from those of gasoline itself. Although
IARC allocated gasoline a final overall classification of Group 2B, i.e. possibly carcinogenic to
humans, this was based on limited evidence in experimental animals plus supporting evidence
including the presence in gasoline of benzene and 1, 3-butadiene. The actual evidence for
carcinogenicity in humans was considered inadequate.
MUTAGENICITY: Gasoline was not mutagenic, with or without activation, in the Ames assay
(Salmonella typhimurium), Saccharamyces cerevisesae, or mouse lymphoma assays. In addition,
point mutations were not induced in human lymphocytes. Gasoline was not mutagenic when
tested in the mouse dominant lethal assay. Administration of gasoline to rats did not cause
chomosomal aberrations in their bone marrow cells. EPIDEMIOLOGY: To explore the health
effects of workers potentially exposed to gasoline vapors in the marketing and distribution sectors
of the petroleum industry, the American Petroleum Institute sponsored a cohort mortality study
(Publication 4555), a nested case-control study (Publication 4551), and an exposure assessment
study (Publication 4552). Histories of exposure to gasoline were reconstructed for cohort of more
than 18,000 employees from four companies for the time period between 1946 and 1985. The
results of the cohort mortality study indicated that there was no increased mortality from either
kidney cancer or leukemia among marketing and marine distribution employees who were
exposed to gasoline in the petroleum industry, when compared to the general population. More
importantly, based on internal comparisons, there was no association between mortality from
kidney cancer or leukemia and various indices of gasoline exposure. In particular, neither duration
75
Part Two
Appendix E--Sample Material Safety Data Sheets for Gasoline and No. 2 Diesel Fuel
of employment, duration of exposure, age at first exposure, year of first exposure, job category,
cumulative exposure, frequency of peak exposure, nor average intensity of exposure had any
effect on kidney cancer or leukemia mortality. The results of the nested case-control study
confirmed the findings of the original cohort study. That is, exposure to gasoline at the levels
experienced by this cohort of distribution workers is not a significant risk factor for leukemia (all cell
types), acute myeloid leukemia, kidney cancer or multiple myeloma.
SECTION 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ECOTOXICITY
The 96 hour(s) LC50 for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is 2.7 mg/l.
The 48 hour(s) LC50 for water flea (Daphnia magna) is 3.0 mg/l.
The 96 hour(s) LC50 for sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) is 8.3 mg/l.
The 96 hour(s) LC50 for mysid shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia) is 1.8 mg/l.
This material is expected to be toxic to aquatic organisms. Gasoline studies have been conducted
in the laboratory under a variety of test conditions with a range of fish and invertebrate species. An
even more extensive database is available on the aquatic toxicity of individual aromatic
constituents. The majority of published studies do not identify the type of gasoline evaluated, or
even provide distinguishing characteristics such as aromatic content or presence of lead alkyls. As
a result, comparison of results among studies using open and closed vessels, different ages and
species of test animals and different gasoline types, is difficult.
The bulk of the available literature on gasoline relates to the environmental impact of
monoaromatic (BTEX) and diaromatic (naphthalene, methylnaphthalenes) constituents. In general,
non-oxygenated gasoline exhibits some short-term toxicity to freshwater and marine organisms,
especially under closed vessel or flow-through exposure conditions in the laboratory. The
components which are the most prominent in the water soluble fraction and cause aquatic toxicity,
are also highly volatile and can be readily biodegraded by microorganisms.
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
This material is expected to be readily biodegradable. Following spillage, the more volatile
components of gasoline will be rapidly lost, with concurrent dissolution of these and other
constituents into the water. Factors such as local environmental conditions (temperature, wind,
mixing or wave action, soil type, etc), photo-oxidation, biodegradation and adsorption onto
suspended sediments, can contribute to the weathering of spilled gasoline.
76
Part Two
Appendix E--Sample Material Safety Data Sheets for Gasoline and No. 2 Diesel Fuel
The aqueous solubility of non-oxygenated unleaded gasoline, based on analysis of benzene,
toluene, ethylbenzene+xylenes and naphthalene, is reported to be 112 mg/l. Solubility data on
individual gasoline constituents also available.
SECTION 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

vision, drowsiness, confusion, or disorientation. At extreme exposures, central
nervous system effects may include respiratory depression, tremors or convulsions,
loss of consciousness, coma or death.
DELAYED OR OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS:
Cancer: Prolonged or repeated exposure to this material may cause cancer. Whole
diesel engine exhaust has been classified as a Group 2A carcinogen (probably
carcinogenic to humans) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC). Diesel exhaust particulate has been classified as reasonably anticipated to
be a human carcinogen in the National Toxicology Program's Ninth Report on
Carcinogens. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has
recommended that whole diesel exhaust be regarded as potentially causing cancer.
Diesel engine exhaust is known to the State of California to cause cancer. Contains
naphthalene, which has been classified as a Group 2B carcinogen (possibly
carcinogenic to humans) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC).
See Section 11 for additional information. Risk depends on duration and level of
exposure.

vapors. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Where feasible
and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials in
disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable
regulations.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guard's National
Response Center at (800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautionary Measures: Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can
catch fire and burn with explosive force. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set
on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors
and switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 29C (85F).
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Do not breathe
vapor or fumes. Do not breathe mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep out of the
reach of children.
Unusual Handling Hazards: WARNING! Do not use as portable heater or appliance
fuel. Toxic fumes may accumulate and cause death.
General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material
into sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous
condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and
grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all
operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic
charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash
filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation,
and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For more
information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, `Flammable and Combustible
Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77, `Recommended Practice on
Static Electricity', and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended
Practice 2003, `Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray
Currents'.
General Storage Information: DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks, flames,
or hot surfaces . USE AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep
container closed when not in use.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use
pressure to empty container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers
retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat,
flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and
cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely drained, properly
closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS
Eye Irritation: The eye irritation hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar
materials or product components.
Skin Irritation: The skin irritation hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar
materials or product components.
Skin Sensitization: This material did not cause skin sensitization reactions in a
Buehler guinea pig test.
Acute Dermal Toxicity: LD50: >5ml/kg (rabbit).
Acute Oral Toxicity: LD50: > 5 ml/kg (rat)
Acute Inhalation Toxicity: 4 hour(s) LC50: > 5mg/l (rat).
ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION:
This product contains gas oils.
CONCAWE (product dossier 95/107) has summarized current health, safety and
environmental data available for a number of gas oils, typically hydrodesulfurized
middle distillates, CAS 64742-80-9, straight-run middle distillates, CAS 64741-44-2,
and/or light cat-cracked distillate CAS 64741-59-9. CARCINOGENICITY: All
materials tested have caused the development of skin tumors in mice, but all
featured severe skin irritation and sometimes a long latency period before tumors
developed. Straight-run and cracked gas oil samples were studied to determine the
influence of dermal irritation on the carcinogenic activity of middle distillates. At non-
irritant doses the straight-run gas oil was not carcinogenic, but at irritant doses, weak
activity was demonstrated. Cracked gas oils, when diluted with mineral oil,
demonstrated carcinogenic activity irrespective of the occurrence of skin irritation.
Gas oils were tested on male mice to study tumor initiating/promoting activity. The
results demonstrated that while a straight-run gas oil sample was neither an initiator
or promoter, a blend of straight-run and FCC stock was both a tumor initiator and a
promoter.
GENOTOXICITY: Hydrotreated & hydrodesulfurized gas oils range in activity from
inactive to weakly positive in in-vitro bacterial mutagenicity assays. Mouse lymphoma
assays on straight-run gas oils without subsequent hydrodesulphurization gave
positive results in the presence of S9 metabolic activation. In-vivo bone marrow
cytogenetics and sister chromatic exchange assay exhibited no activity for straight-
run components with or without hydrodesulphurization. Thermally or catalytically
cracked gas oils tested with in-vitro bacterial mutagenicity assays in the presence of
S9 metabolic activation were shown to be mutagenic. In-vitro sister chromatic
exchange assays on cracked gas oil gave equivocal results both with and without S9
metabolic activation. In-vivo bone marrow cytogenetics assay was inactive for two
cracked gas oil samples. Three hydrocracked gas oils were tested with in-vitro
bacterial mutagenicity assays with S9, and one of the three gave positive results.
87
Part Two
Appendix E--Sample Material Safety Data Sheets for Gasoline and No. 2 Diesel Fuel
Twelve distillate fuel samples were tested with in-vitro bacterial mutagenicity assays
& with S9 metabolic activation and showed negative to weakly positive results. In one
series, activity was shown to be related to the PCA content of samples tested. Two
in-vivo studies were also conducted. A mouse dominant lethal assay was negative
for a sample of diesel fuel. In the other study, 9 samples of No 2 heating oil
containing 50% cracked stocks caused a slight increase in the number of
chromosomal aberrations in bone marrow cytogenetics assays.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Diesel fuel vapor did not cause fetotoxic or
teratogenic effects when pregnant rats were exposed on days 6-15 of pregnancy.
Gas oils were applied to the skin of pregnant rats daily on days 0-19 of gestation. All
but one (coker light gas oil) caused fetotoxicity (increased resorptions, reduced litter
weight, reduced litter size) at dose levels that were also maternally toxic.
This product contains naphthalene.
GENERAL TOXICITY: Exposure to naphthalene has been reported to cause
methemoglobinemia and/or hemolytic anemia, especially in humans deficient in the
enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Laboratory animals given repeated
oral doses of naphthalene have developed cataracts.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY AND BIRTH DEFECTS: Naphthalene did not cause
birth defects when administered orally to rabbits, rats, and mice during pregnancy,
but slightly reduced litter size in mice at dose levels that were lethal to the pregnant
females. Naphthalene has been reported to cross the human placenta. GENETIC
TOXICITY: Naphthalene caused chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid
exchanges in Chinese hamster ovary cells, but was not a mutagen in several other
in-vitro tests.
CARCINOGENICITY: In a study conducted by the National Toxicology Program
(NTP), mice exposed to 10 or 30 ppm of naphthalene by inhalation daily for two years
had chronic inflammation of the nose and lungs and increased incidences of
metaplasia in those tissues. The incidence of benign lung tumors (alveolar/
bronchiolar adenomas) was significantly increased in the high-dose female group but
not in the male groups. In another two-year inhalation study conducted by NTP,
exposure of rats to 10, 30, and 60 ppm naphthalene caused increases in the
incidences of a variety of nonneoplastic lesions in the nose. Increases in nasal
tumors were seen in both sexes, including olfactory neuroblastomas in females at 60
ppm and adenomas of the respiratory epithelium in males at all exposure levels. The
relevance of these effects to humans has not been established. No carcinogenic
effect was reported in a 2-year feeding study in rats receiving naphthalene at 41 mg/
kg/day.

This product may contain significant amounts of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(PAH's) which have been shown to cause skin cancer after prolonged and frequent
contact with the skin of test animals. Brief or intermittent skin contact with this product
is not expected to have serious effects if it is washed from the skin. While skin cancer
is unlikely to occur in human beings following use of this product, skin contact and
breathing, of mists, vapors or dusts should be reduced to a minimum.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
On release to the environment the lighter components of diesel fuel will generally
evaporate but depending on local environmental conditions (temperature, wind,
mixing or wave action, soil type, etc.) the remainder may become dispersed in the
water column or absorbed to soil or sediment. Diesel fuel would not be expected to
be readily biodegradable. In a modified Strum test (OECD method 301B)
approximately 40% biodegradation was recorded over 28 days. However, it has been
shown that most hydrocarbon components of diesel fuel are degraded in soil in the
presence of oxygen. Under anaerobic conditions, such as in anoxic sediments, rates
of biodegradation are negligible.
SECTION 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Use material for its intended purpose or recycle if possible. This material, if it must be
discarded, may meet the criteria of a hazardous waste as defined by US EPA under
RCRA (40 CFR 261) or other State and local regulations. Measurement of certain
physical properties and analysis for regulated components may be necessary to
make a correct determination. If this material is classified as a hazardous waste,
federal law requires disposal at a licensed hazardous waste disposal facility.
