(s) Skin Notation: Chemical is absorbed through the skin in liquid or vapor
phase.
C. Personal Protection Information
Ventilation: Use adequate ventilation to control below recommended
exposure levels.
Respiratory Protection: For concentrations exceeding the recommended
exposure level, use NIOSH/MSHA approved air
purifying respirator. In case of spill or leak
resulting in unknown concentration, use NIOSH/MSHA
approved supplied air respirator. If conditions
immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)
exist, use NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Eye Protection: Use safety glasses with side shields.
Skin Protection: Use neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Use
protective garments to prevent excessive skin
contact.
NOTE: Personal protection information shown in Section C is based upon
general information as to normal uses and conditions. Where special or
unusual uses or conditions exist, it is suggested that the expert
assistance of an industrial hygienist or other qualified professional
be sought.
D. Handling and Storage Precautions
Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors,
mist, fume or dust. Do not swallow, may be aspirated into lungs. Wear
protective equipment and/or garments described in Section C if exposure
conditions warrant. Immediately remove and launder contaminated
clothing before reuse. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only with
adequate ventilation.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames. Store in a well-ventilated
area. Store in a closed container. Bond and ground during transfer.
E. Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Not Established
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Oxygen and strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous Polymerization: Will Not Occur
Conditions to Avoid: Not Established
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon oxides and various hydrocarbons
formed when burned.
F. Health Hazard Data
Recommended Exposure Limits:
See Section B.
Acute Effects of Overexposure:
Eye: May be mildly irritating to eyes.
Skin: May be mildly irritating to skin.
Inhalation: May cause nausea, headache and sedation.
Ingestion: May be irritating to intestines. If swallowed, may be aspirated
resulting in inflammation and possible fluid accumulation in the
lungs.
Subchronic and Chronic Effects of Overexposure:
Jet fuel has produced kidney damage in laboratory animals. No
comparable kidney damage is known in humans. May cause blood changes
possibly leading to aplastic anemia. May cause liver damage. Repeated
or prolonged skin contact may be severely irritating to skin.
Contains a compound which has caused reproductive system and
embryo/fetal changes in laboratory animals.
Other Health Effects:
Jet Fuels generally contain Benzene has been designated as a carcinogen
by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC), and the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). Benzene may produce blood changes which include
reduced platelets, reduced red blood cells, reduced white blood cells,
aplastic anemia, and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. Benzene has
produced fetal death in laboratory animals and caused chromosome changes
in humans and mutation changes in cells of other organisms. Health
effects attributable to Benzene are not known to occur in humans exposed
to jet fuels.

First Aid and Emergency Procedures:
Eye: Flush eyes with running water for at least fifteen minutes. If
irritation or adverse symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
Skin: Immediately wash skin with soap and water for at least fifteen
minutes. If irritation or adverse symptoms develop, seek medical
attention.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
If breathing ceases, administer artificial respiration followed
by oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physician: Gastric lavage using a cuffed endotracheal tube may be
performed at your discretion.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Evacuate area of all unnecessary
personnel. Shut off source, if
possible. Wear appropriate safety
equipment for fire fighting conditions
including NIOSH/MSHA approved
self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA). Water fog or spray may be
used to cool exposed containers and
equipment. Do not spray water
directly on fire - product will float
and could be reignited on surface of
water.

Precautions Required if Material is Released or Spilled:
Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel. Wear protective equipment
and/or garments described in Section C if exposure conditions warrant.
Shut off source, if possible and contain spill. Protect from ignition.
Keep out of water sources and sewers. Absorb in a dry, inert material
(sand, clay, etc). Transfer to disposal drums using non-sparking
equipment.
Waste Disposal (Insure Conformity with all Applicable Disposal Regulations):
Incinerate or place in permitted waste management facility.
