SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Also see Emergency Overview and Hazard Ratings on the top of Page 1 of this MSDS.
Major Route(s) of Entry Skin contact. Inhalation.
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure
Inhalation Breathing mist or vapors concentrations well above occupational exposure levels can irritate the mucous
membranes of the nose, throat, bronchi, and lungs, and may cause transient central nervous system (CNS)
depression. CNS symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, intoxication, blurred vision, slurred speech,
flushed face, confusion, weakness, fatigue, loss of consciousness, convulsions, coma, and death, depending
on the concentration and/or duration of exposure.
Eye Contact This product can cause eye irritation with short-term contact with liquid, mists or vapor. Symptoms include
stinging, watering, redness, and swelling. In severe cases, permanent eye damage can result.
Skin Contact Animal test results on similar materials suggest that this product can cause moderate to severe skin irritation.
Short-term contact symptoms include redness, itching, and burning of the skin. Also, certain components of
this material may be absorbed through the skin and produce CNS depression effects (see "Inhalation" above).
If the skin is damaged, absorption increases. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause severe dermatitis
and/or more serious skin disorders. Chronic symptoms may include drying, swelling, scaling, blistering,
cracking, and/or severe tissue damage.
Ingestion If swallowed, this material may irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus. It can be
readily absorbed by the stomach and intestinal tract. Symptoms include a burning sensation of the mouth and
esophagus, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, staggering gait, drowsiness, loss of consciousness, and delirium, as
well as additional central nervous system (CNS) effects (see "Inhalation" above).
Due to its light viscosity, there is a danger of aspiration into the lungs during vomiting. Aspiration of a small
amount of liquid can cause severe pulmonary edema and lipoid or chemical pneumonia which can result in
death. Progressive CNS depression, respiratory insufficiency, and ventricular fibrillation may also result in
death.
Chronic Health Effects Secondary effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration into the lungs may cause pneumatocele (lung cavity)
Summary formation and chronic lung dysfunction.
This product contains petroleum middle distillates similar to those shown to produce skin tumors on laboratory
rodents following repeated application. All tumors appeared during the latter portion of the typical 2-year
lifespan of the animals. Certain studies have shown that washing the animal's exposed skin with soap and
water between treatments greatly reduces the potential tumorigenic effects. These effects are unlikely to occur
if good personal hygiene is practiced.
This material and/or its components have been associated with developmental and/or reproductive toxicity,
genotoxicity, immunotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. Refer to Section 11 of this MSDS for additional health-related
information.
Conditions Aggravated Medical conditions aggravated by exposure to this material may include skin disorders, chronic respiratory
by Exposure diseases, neurological conditions, liver or kidney dysfunction.
Target Organs This material may cause damage to the following organs: kidneys, liver, upper respiratory tract, skin.
Carcinogenic Potential This material may contain ethylbenzene and naphthalene at concentrations above 0.1%. IARC has
identified ethylbenzene and naphthalene as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) based on
laboratory animal studies.

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting rescue or providing first aid. For more specific
information, refer to Exposure Controls and Personal Protection in Section 8 of this MSDS.
Inhalation Move victim to fresh air. If victim is not breathing, immediately begin rescue breathing. If breathing is
difficult, 100 percent humidified oxygen should be administered by a qualified individual. Seek medical
attention immediately. Keep the affected individual warm and at rest.
Eye Contact Check for and remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with cool, clean, low-pressure water for at least 15
minutes while occasionally lifting and lowering eyelids. Do not use eye ointment unless directed to by
a physician. Seek medical attention if excessive tearing, irritation, or pain persists.
Skin Contact Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Flush affected area with large amounts of water. If skin
surface is damaged, apply a clean dressing and seek medical attention. Do not use ointments. If skin
surface is not damaged, clean affected area thoroughly with mild soap and water. Seek medical
attention if tissue appears damaged or if pain or irritation persists.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. If spontaneous vomiting is about to occur, place victim's head below knees. If
victim is drowsy or unconscious, place on the left side with head down. Never give anything by mouth
to a person who is not fully conscious. Do not leave victim unattended. Seek medical attention
immediately.
Notes to Physician Inhalation overexposure can produce toxic effects. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or
difficulty in breathing develops, evaluate for upper respiratory tract inflammation, bronchitis, and
pneumonitis. Vigorous anti-inflammatory/steroid treatment may be required at first evidence of upper
airway or pulmonary edema. Administer 100 percent humidified supplemental oxygen with assisted
ventilation, as required.
If ingested, this material presents a significant aspiration/lipoid or chemical pneumonitis hazard. As a
result, induction of emesis is not recommended. Consider administration of an aqueous slurry of
activated charcoal followed by a cathartic such as magnesium citrate or sorbitol. Also, treatment may
involve careful gastric lavage if performed soon after ingestion or in patients who are comatose or at
risk of convulsing. Protect the airway by placement in Trendelenburg and left lateral decubitus position
or by cuffed endotracheal intubation. If vital signs become abnormal or symptoms develop, obtain a
chest x-ray and liver function tests. Antibiotics are indicated if pulmonary bacterial infection occurs.
Monitor for cardiac function and arterial blood gases in severe exposure cases.

weather conditions. Always bond receiving containers to the fill pipe before and during loading. Always
keep nozzle in contact with the container throughout the loading process. Do not fill any portable
container in or on a vehicle. Special precautions, such as reduced loading rates and increased
monitoring, must be observed during "switch loading" operations (i.e., loading this material in tanks or
shipping compartments that previously containing gasoline or similar low flash point products).
Fire hazard increases as product temperature approaches its flash point. Use non-sparking tools.
Keep container closed and drum bungs in place. Remove spillage immediately from walking areas. Do
not handle or store near heat, sparks or other potential ignition sources. Do not handle or store with
oxidizing agents. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Never siphon by mouth. Do not taste or swallow.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use gloves constructed of impervious materials and
protective clothing if direct contact is anticipated. Provide ventilation to maintain exposure potential
below applicable exposure levels. Avoid water contamination. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Prevent contact with food or tobacco products.
Cutting or welding of empty containers can ignite residues with explosive force. Do not pressurize or
expose empty containers to flames, sparks or heat. Observe all label warnings and precautions.

Middle distillates, petroleum:
The products represented by this MSDS contain a mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons commonly
referred to as "middle distillates." Laboratory data have associated some middle distillates with skin
cancer when the material is applied repeatedly over the lifetime of the test animal. Middle distillates
similar to the products represented by this MSDS have been associated with liver and kidney damage
in subchronic (90-day) inhalation studies of male rats. The relevance of these findings to human health
is unclear.
SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity Ecotoxicity data are not available for this product. Based on data from similar products, this material is
toxic to aquatic organisms.

CITGO Low Sulfur Kerosene, All Grades
Environmental Fate If spilled, this material will normally evaporate. Hydrocarbon components may contribute to
atmospheric smog. If released to the subsoils, petroleum middle distillate fuels will strongly adsorb to
soils. Groundwater should be considered as an exposure pathway. Liquid and vapor can migrate
through the subsurface and preferential pathways (such as utility line backfill) to downgradient
receptors.
Middle distillates are potentially toxic to freshwater and saltwater ecosystems. Distillate fuels will
normally float on water. In stagnant or slow-flowing waterways, a hydrocarbon layer can cover a large
surface area. As a result, this oil layer can limit or eliminate natural atmospheric oxygen transport into
the water. With time, if not removed, oxygen depletion in the waterway can cause a fish kill or create an
anaerobic environment. Also, this coating action can also kill plankton, algae, and water birds.
SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Hazard characteristic and regulatory waste stream classification can change with product use. Accordingly, it is the responsibility
of the user to determine the proper storage, transportation, treatment and/or disposal methodologies for spent materials and
residues at the time of disposition.
Conditions of use may cause this material to become a hazardous waste, as defined by Federal or
State regulations. It is the responsibility of the user to determine if the material is a hazardous waste
at the time of disposal. Potential treatment and disposal methods include land farming and
incineration. Transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of waste material must be conducted in
accordance with RCRA regulations (see 40 CFR 260 through 40 CFR 271). State and/or local
regulations may be more restrictive. Contact the RCRA/Superfund Hotline at (800) 424-9346 or your
