Sec. 8
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
PRIMARY ENTRY ROUTES: Inhalation of fumes, skin contact, eye contact.
TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, and kidneys.
CARCINOGENICITY: There is inadequate evidence that bitumens alone are carcinogenic to humans. There is sufficient
evidence for the carcinogenicity of extracts of steam-refined bitumens, air-refined bitumens, and
pooled mixtures of steam- and air-refined bitumens in experimental animals. There is inadequate
evidence for the carcinogenicity of undiluted air-refined bitumens in experimental animals. There is
limited evidence for the carcinogenicity of undiluted steam-refined bitumens and for cracking-residue
bitumens in experimental animals. (bitumens) IARC-3
ACUTE EFFECTS
INHALATION: Breathing of the mists, vapors or fumes may cause irritation of respiratory tract, dizziness, headaches,
and nausea.
EYE: Exposure to the mists, vapors or fumes may cause irritation.
SKIN: Irritation and dermatitis.
INGESTION: May cause gastrointestinal disturbances, irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: Absorption from prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause systemic toxicity.
SECTION IV. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Move to fresh air. Use artificial respiration if necessary. Seek medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: DO NOT try to dissolve with solvents or thinners, wash with soap and water.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting, because of danger of aspiration into lungs, causing serious damage and chemical
pneumonitis. If spontaneous vomiting occurs keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs and monitor for
breathing difficulty. Seek medical attention.
After first aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic, or community medical support.
SECTION V. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 102癋
FLASH POINT METHOD: PMCC
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: No data
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS IN AIR: (% in volume) 0.5 ?6.0
FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION: Class II Combustible liquid
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Extinguish with dry chemical, CO2, foam and water fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool affected containers with flooding
quantities of water. Apply water from as great a distance as possible. Water or foam may cause frothing. Keep run off water out of sewers
and water sources. Minimize breathing of gases, vapor, fumes, or decomposition products. Use self-contained breathing apparatus for
enclosed or confined spaces or as otherwise needed.
UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Flammable ?Do not store near strong oxidants or open flame. Smoke from fire may be hazardous.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Under fire conditions ?May form toxic materials; carbon dioxide and monoxide, oxides of sulfur, H2S, and other decomposition products,
in the case of incomplete combustion.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use air-supplied rescue equipment. Cool exposed containers with water.
SECTION VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
"FOR CHEMICAL EMERGENCY" Spill, Leak, Fire, Exposure or Accident
CALL CHEMTREC ?Day or Night 800-424-9300
SPILL/LEAK PROCEDURES:
Shut off sources of ignition. Shut off leak, if possible without risk.
SMALL SPILLS:
Allow material to cool, and then scrape up material for disposal.
LARGE SPILLS:
Dike ahead of spill to contain, and then take up with sand or other non-combustible, absorbent material. Dispose in accordance with local,
state and federal regulations.

SECTION VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
Stay up wind to avoid vapors. Do not store near open flames. ground lines and equipment used during transfer.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
Do not store near strong oxidants and avoid water contamination.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
VENTILATION: General mechanical with local exhaust, sufficient to maintain exposure levels below recommended
ACGIH TLVs and OSHA PELs.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING/EQUIPMENT
GLOVES: Use chemical resistant gloves to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
GOGGLES: Chemical-type goggles or face shield.
RESPIRATORY: Self-contained, positive-pressure breathing apparatus when used in confined or enclosed space or
when exposure limits are exceeded or hydrogen sulfide is unknown or exceeds 20 ppm. Organic
vapor respirators can be used with good ventilation when organic vapors are less than 1000 ppm or
ten (10) times permissible exposure limit, which ever is less. For emergency or non-routine
operations (cleaning spills or storage tanks), wear a SCBA. Warning! Air-purifying respirators do
not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. If respirators are used, OSHA requires a
written respiratory protection program that includes: procedures for selecting respirators, medical
evaluations, fit testing, use in routine and emergency situations, cleaning, disinfecting, storing,
inspecting and maintaining respirators, breathing air quality, quantity and flow, training in
respiratory hazards, and evaluation of effectiveness of respiratory program.
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING: Launder or dry-clean contaminated clothing before reuse.
HYGIENE: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after using this material,
especially before eating, drinking, and smoking.
