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. Eye contact. Skin Absorption. Inhalation.
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure
Inhalation Overexposure to gasoline vapor can cause upper respiratory tract irritation, headache, nausea, vomiting
and/or central nervous system (CNS) depression. Also, effects of components of this mixture can include
euphoria, excitation, giddiness, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, muscular weakness and
staggered gait. CNS effects include dizziness, drowsiness, disorientation, vertigo, memory loss, visual
disturbances, difficulty breathing, convulsions, unconsciousness, paralysis, coma and death. High vapor
concentrations (such as in confined spaces) can displace the amount of oxygen in air available to breathe
below that level necessary to sustain life. Gasoline vapor concentrations in the range of 20,000 ppm (2%
by volume) in air can be fatal to humans in five minutes. In addition, exposures by susceptible individuals
to concentrations as low as 5,000 ppm can result in death by cardiac arrest (heart attack).
Eye Contact This material can cause mild to moderate eye irritation as a result of short-term contact with liquid, mist or
vapor. Symptoms can include stinging, watering, redness or swelling (conjunctivitis). In severe cases,
permanent eye damage can result.

CITGO Leaded Gasolines, All Grades
Skin Contact This material can cause mild to severe skin irritation with short-term exposure. The degree of irritation will
depend on the amount of material that is applied to the skin and the speed and thoroughness that it is removed.
Signs and symptoms can include pain, sensation of heat, discoloration, swelling or blistering. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact can produce moderate irritation or dermatitis. Signs and symptoms can include drying,
swelling, scaling, blistering, cracking or other skin changes. Certain components of this material can be
absorbed through the skin and produce target organ effects. If the skin is damaged, absorption increases.
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 swallowing and subsequent
vomiting. Aspiration can result in severe lung damage or death. Cardiovascular effects include shallow rapid
pulse and pallor followed by flushing. Also, progressive CNS depression, respiratory insufficiency and
ventricular fibrillation may result in death.
Chronic Health Effects Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling gasoline can be harmful or fatal. Altered mental
Summary state, drowsiness, peripheral motor neuropathy, irreversible brain damage ("Petrol Sniffers Encephalopathy"),
delirium, fetal development effects, seizures and sudden death are associated with gasoline abuse. Chronic
effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration of gasoline into the lungs has been associated with the
formation of lung cavities (pneumatoceles) and chronic lung dysfunction. Gasoline has been associated with
cancer in experimental animals, however, the data are generally not considered relevant to humans.
Prolonged or repeated overexposure to n-hexane, a component of gasoline, may cause damage to the
peripheral nervous system that is characterized by numbness, tingling or pain in the extremities. These
effects can progressively worsen to neuromuscular motor coordination difficulty or partial paralysis. Prolonged
or repeated overexposure to benzene, a potential component of gasoline, has been associated with depletion
of red blood cells (anemia), damage to white blood cells (leukopenia) and bone marrow (aplastic anemia). In
addition, long term overexposure to benzene has been associated with a cancer of the blood forming tissues
(acute myelogenous leukemia or AML). Prolonged or repeated overexposure to toluene, a component of
gasoline, has been associated with reproductive effects in experimental animals and in long-term chemical
abuse situations. Long-term overexposures to toluene and xylene have been associated with hearing
damage.
This material and/or its components have been associated with developmental toxicity, 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 central nervous system (CNS)
by Exposure disease, chronic respiratory diseases, skin disorders, blood disorders, impaired cardiovascular systems,
liver or kidney function.
Exposure to high concentrations of this material may increase the sensitivity of the heart to epinepherine
(adrenalin) and catecholamine-like drugs. Personnel with pre-existing cardiac disorders may be more
susceptible to this effect (see Section 4, "Note to Physicians").
Target Organs This material causes damage to the following organs: kidneys, lungs, heart, cardiovascular system, eyes,
central nervous system (CNS).
This material may cause damage to the following organs: blood, the reproductive system, liver, mucous
membranes, peripheral nervous system, upper respiratory tract, skin, bone marrow.
Carcinogenic Potential This material may contain benzene, ethylbenzene or styrene at concentrations above 0.1%. Benzene is
considered to be a known human carcinogen by OSHA, IARC and NTP. IARC has identified
ethylbenzene, styrene, gasoline and gasoline engine exhaust 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 Immediately move victim to fresh air. If victim is not breathing, immediately begin rescue breathing. If
heart has stopped, immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If breathing is difficult, 100
percent humidified oxygen should be administered by a qualified individual. Seek medical attention
immediately. If exposed to benzene in an emergency situation, a medical evaluation should be
completed at the end of the work-shift in accordance with OSHA requirements.
Eye Contact Check for and remove contact lenses. If irritation or redness develops, flush eyes with cool, clean,
low-pressure water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of the eye
and eyelid tissue. Do not use eye ointment. Seek medical attention immediately.
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 or 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 and chemical pneumonitis hazard.
Accordingly, 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 cuffed endotracheal intubation or by placement of the body in
a Trendelenburg and left lateral decubitus position. Obtain chest X-ray and liver function tests. Monitor
for cardiac function, respiratory distress and arterial blood gases in severe exposure cases.
Epinephrine and other sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons exposed to
high concentrations of this material (e.g., in enclosed spaces or with deliberate abuse). If used, monitor
heart action closely. Consider use of other drugs with less arrhythmogenic potential.

Special Properties Flammable Liquid! This material releases vapors at or below ambient temperatures. When mixed with
air in certain proportions and exposed to an ignition source, its vapor can cause a flash fire. Use only
with adequate ventilation. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances along the ground
to an ignition source and flash back. A vapor and air mixture can create an explosion hazard in
confined spaces such as sewers. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire.

SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, foam, water fog, or inert gas (nitrogen).
Extinguishing Media
LARGE FIRE: Use foam, water fog, or water spray. Water fog and spray are effective in cooling
containers and adjacent structures. However, water can cause frothing and/or may not extinguish the
fire. Water can be used to cool the external walls of vessels to prevent excessive pressure, autoignition
or explosion. DO NOT use a solid stream of water directly on the fire as the water may spread the fire
to a larger area.
Protection of Fire Fighters Firefighters must use full bunker gear including NIOSH-approved positive pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus to protect against potential hazardous combustion or decomposition products and
oxygen deficiencies. Evacuate area and fight the fire from a maximum distance or use unmanned hose
holders or monitor nozzles. Cover pooling liquid with foam. Containers can build pressure if exposed to
radiant heat; cool adjacent containers with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out.
Withdraw immediately from the area if there is a rising sound from a venting safety device or
discoloration of vessels, tanks, or pipelines. Be aware that burning liquid will float on water. Notify
appropriate authorities if liquid enter sewers or waterways.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting spill control or clean-up. For more specific
information, refer to the Emergency Overview on Page 1, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection in Section 8 and Disposal
Considerations in Section 13 of this MSDS.
Flammable Liquid! Release causes an immediate fire or explosion hazard. Evacuate all non-essential
personnel from immediate area and establish a "regulated zone" with site control and security. A
vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Eliminate all ignition sources. All equipment
used when handling this material must be grounded. Stop the leak if it can done without risk. Do not
touch or walk through spilled material. Remove spillage immediately from hard, smooth walking areas.
Prevent its entry into waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas. Absorb or cover with dry earth,
sand, or other non-combustible material and transfer to appropriate waste containers. Use clean,
non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
For large spills, secure the area and control access. Dike far ahead of a liquid spill to ensure complete
collection. Water mist or spray may be used to reduce or disperse vapors; but, it may not prevent
ignition in closed spaces. This material will float on water and its run-off may create an explosion or fire
hazard. Verify that responders are properly HAZWOPER-trained and wearing appropriate respiratory
equipment and fire-resistant protective clothing during cleanup operations. In an urban area, cleanup
spill as soon as possible; in natural environments, cleanup on advice from specialists. Pick up free
liquid for recycle and/or disposal if it can be accomplished safely with explosion-proof equipment.
Collect any excess material with absorbant pads, sand, or other inert non-combustible absorbent
materials. Place into appropriate waste containers for later disposal. Comply with all laws and
regulations.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling A static electrical charge can accumulate when this material is flowing through pipes, nozzles or filters
and when it is agitated. A static spark discharge can ignite accumulated vapors particularly during dry
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 contained middle distillates or similar products).
A spill or leak can cause an immediate fire or explosion hazard. Keep containers closed and do not
handle or store near heat, sparks, or any other potential ignition sources. Do not contact with oxidizable
materials. Do not breathe vapor. Use only with adequate ventilation and personal protection. Never
siphon by mouth. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Prevent contact with food and tobacco
products. Do not take internally.
When performing repairs and maintenance on contaminated equipment, keep unnecessary persons
away from the area. Eliminate all potential ignition sources. Drain and purge equipment, as necessary,
to remove material residues. Use gloves constructed of impervious materials and protective clothing if
direct contact is anticipated. Provide ventilation to maintain exposure potential below applicable
exposure limits. Promptly remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and
water after handling.

Empty containers may contain material residues which can ignite with explosive force. Misuse of empty
containers can be dangerous if used to store toxic, flammable, or reactive materials. Cutting or welding
of empty containers can cause fire, explosion, or release of toxic fumes from residues. Do not
pressurize or expose empty containers to open flame, sparks, or heat. Keep container closed and drum
bungs in place. All label warnings and precautions must be observed. Return empty drums to a
qualified reconditioner. Consult appropriate federal, state and local authorities before reusing,
reconditioning, reclaiming, recycling, or disposing of empty containers and/or waste residues of this
material.
Storage Store and transport in accordance with all applicable laws. Keep containers tightly closed. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Clearly label all containers. Do not allow containers to be kept in
enclosed vehicles. Keep away from all ignition sources. Ground all equipment containing this material.
Containers must be able to withstand pressures that are created from changes in product temperature.
Product samples and other small containers of this flammable liquid should be stored in a separate
safety cabinet or room. All electrical equipment in areas where this material is stored or handled should
be installed and operated in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and the National
Electrical Code.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor or
mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits indicated below. All electrical equipment should
comply with the National Electric Code. An emergency eye wash station and safety shower should be
located near the work-station.

Avoid skin contact. Use gloves (e.g., disposable PVC, neoprene, nitrile, vinyl, or PVC/NBR). Wash
Hand Protection
hands with plenty of mild soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, use of toilet facilities or
leaving work. DO NOT use this material as a skin cleaner.
This may include an apron, boots and additional facial protection.
Body Protection
For unknown vapor concentrations use a positive-pressure, pressure-demand, self-contained breathing
Respiratory Protection
apparatus (SCBA). Due to fire and explosion hazards, do not enter atmospheres containing
concentrations greater than 20% of the lower flammable limit under any circumstances. For known
vapor concentrations above the occupational exposure guidelines (see below), use a NIOSH-approved
organic vapor respirator if adequate protection is provided. Protection factors vary depending upon the
type of respirator used. Respirators should be used in accordance with OSHA requirements (29 CFR
1910.134).
General Comments Warning! Use of this material in spaces without adequate ventilation may result in generation of
hazardous levels of combustion products and/or inadequate oxygen levels for breathing. Odor is an
inadequate warning for hazardous conditions.

A major epidemiological study concluded that there was no increased risk of kidney cancer associated
with gasoline exposures for petroleum refinery employees or neighboring residents. Another study
identified a slight trend in kidney cancers among service station employees following a 30-year latency
period. Two-year inhalation toxicity studies with fully vaporized unleaded gasoline (at concentrations of
67, 292 and 2,056 ppm in air) produced kidney damage and kidney tumors in male rats, but not in
female rats or mice of either sex. Results from subsequent scientific studies suggest that the kidney
damage, and probably the kidney tumor response, is limited to the male rat. The kidney tumors
apparently were the result of the formation of alpha-2u-globulin, a protein unique to male rats. This
finding is not considered relevant to human exposure. Under conditions of the study, there was no
evidence that exposure to unleaded gasoline vapor is associated with developmental toxicity.
Experimental studies with laboratory animals did suggest that overexposure to gasoline may adversely
effect male reproductive performance. Also, in laboratory studies with rats, the maternal and
developmental "no observable adverse effect level" (NOAEL) was determined to be 9,000 ppm (75% of
the LEL value). Female mice developed a slightly higher incidence of liver tumors compared to controls
at the highest concentration. IARC has listed gasoline as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
Methyl tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE):
Acute symptoms associated with human exposure to MTBE appear to be mild and transient. In
laboratory studies, rodents exposed to high doses of MTBE exhibited blood chemistry changes and liver
and kidney abnormalities. In laboratory studies, MTBE vapor exposure at the high dose concentration
was associated with an increased incidence of liver tumors in female mice. Also, at high dose
concentration exposures, MTBE was associated with an increased incidence of kidney and testicular
(Leydig cell) tumors in male rats. Additional oncogenicity studies on rats resulted in testicular tumors
following administration by ingestion. These data are not generally considered relevant to humans. In
the Ninth edition (2000) of its Report on Carcinogens, NTP has not identified MTBE as either a known
carcinogen or reasonably anticipated to be carcinogenic to humans. In animal studies, developmental
and reproductive toxicity related to MTBE inhalation exposures was observed only at concentrations
that were maternally toxic. MTBE was shown to be maternal toxic at 4,000 and 8,000 ppm levels when

mice were exposed for six hours per day during their pregnancy. Also, a decrease in the number of
successful pregnancies and a reduction in birth weights were observed at these exposure levels. Birth
defects (cleft palate) were observed at the high dose level. These data suggest that the risk of
developmental and reproductive toxicity in humans is negligible as a result of anticipated exposures to
MTBE.
Tertiary-Amyl Methyl Ether (TAME):
TAME was found to be negative for the induction of structural chromosome aberrations (both
S9-activated and non-activated) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Inhalation of TAME vapors at
concentrations above 250 ppm produced reversible CNS depression in rats and mice. In a four week
inhalation study, increases in liver weights with no tissue injury were observed in rats exposed to a
TAME concentration of 500 ppm. Birth defects in mice and fetotoxicity in both rats and mice were
observed after inhalation exposures to maternally toxic concentrations of TAME.
Diisopropyl Ether (DIPE):
Increased kidney and liver weights were observed in rats and mice in subchronic and chronic inhalation
studies of DIPE. Also, evidence of microscopic changes (hyaline droplets) were reported in liver tissue
and kidney tubules of rabbits and male rats exposed to DIPE at concentrations of 7,100 ppm. These
findings were similar those found in gasoline studies. Overexposure by inhalation of pregnant rats to
DIPE at concentrations of 3,095 and 6,745 ppm increased the frequency of rudimentary 14th ribs in the
offspring. This effect was not observed at exposure concentrations of 430 ppm. The significance of
these findings to human exposure is unclear.
Ethanol:
Inhalation exposure to ethanol vapor at concentrations above applicable workplace exposure levels is
expected to produce eye and mucus membrane irritation. Human exposure at concentrations from
1,000 to 5,000 ppm produced symptoms of narcosis, stupor and morbid drowsiness. Subjects exposed
to ethanol vapor in concentrations between 500 and 10,000 ppm experienced coughing and smarting of
the eyes and nose. At 15,000 ppm there was continuous lacrimation and coughing. While extensive
acute and chronic effects can be expected with ethanol consumption, ingestion is not expected to be a
significant route of exposure to this product.
Pentanes, all isomers:
n-Pentane was associated with cardiac sensitization in rabbits at a concentration of 100,000 ppm in air
within four hours of exposure. Pentane can act as an aesthetic by inhalation. Mice exhibited signs of
respiratory irritation and mild central nervous system effects at concentrations of 32,000 to 69,000 ppm
for five minutes.
Toluene:
Deliberate long-term inhalation of toluene at high concentrations (e.g., glue sniffing) has been
associated with reversible liver effects, permanent kidney damage, CNS depression, brain damage and
cardiac sensitization. In addition, intentional abuse behavior increases the risk for reproductive effects
including pre-term delivery, prenatal death and growth retardation. Also, case studies of persons
abusing toluene have revealed isolated incidences of birth defects. Long-term inhalation studies with
toluene produced kidney damage, enlargement of the liver and thymus, heart palpitations, brain
damage, general weakness and impaired reaction time in laboratory animals. Also, in long-term
laboratory studies, rats exposed to high concentrations of toluene exhibited high-frequency hearing
loss. Case studies have reported hearing damage in humans exposed elevated concentrations of
toluene and other mixed solvents.
Xylene, all isomers:
Overexposure to xylene may cause upper respiratory tract irritation, headache, cyanosis, blood serum
changes, CNS damage and narcosis. Effects may be increased by the use of alcoholic beverages.
Also, ototoxicity has been associated with chronic overexposure to xylene. An inhalation study with
laboratory rats indicated an association between elevated exposures to mixed xylenes and hearing loss.
Animal studies have associated embryo and feto-toxicity with maternally toxic dose exposures of mixed
xylene isomers and ethylbenzene. Lung inflammation and liver damage were identified as health
effects in chronic studies using guinea pigs. The significance of these animal study results to humans
is not known.
Heptane, all isomers:
n-Heptane was not mutagenic in the Salmonella/microsome (Ames) assay and is not considered to be
carcinogenic.
n-Butane:
An n-butane exposure of 5,000 ppm in air has been shown to affect the heart in dogs, causing lower
contractile force and other effects. Also, butane may decrease the myocardial threshold to

epinephrine-induced arrhythimias.
n-Hexane:
Intentional abuse of products containing n-hexane have been associated with permanent brain and
nervous system damage. Adverse effects include numbness, tingling, pain, and loss of muscle control
in the extremities, disorientation, impaired vision and reflexes, decline in motor function and even
paralysis. These neurological effects are pronounced in combination with lack of oxygen supply,
especially among women. Chronic repeated or prolonged overexposure to n-hexane, either by
inhalation or skin absorption, has been associated with peripheral neuropathy in both human workers
and rodents. The neurotoxic properties of n-hexane may increase with concurrent exposure to methyl
ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or toluene. n-Hexane has been associated with testicular
degeneration and epididymal lesions in rats. Also, n-hexane produced fetal toxicity and reduced fetal
weight in mice at maternally toxic doses.
Methylcyclohexane:
Rats inhaling methylcyclohexane at an airborne concentration of 15,250 ppm for one hour displayed
tremors, loss of coordination, anesthesia and convulsions. Experimental animals exposed to 10,050
ppm for six hours per day for 14 days exhibited weight loss or decreased weight gain and changes in
the structure of their salivary glands. In experimental studies with rabbits, the LD50 for
methylcyclohexane was estimated to be between 3,300 ppm and 7,300 ppm. Death was preceded by
conjunctival congestion with mucoid secretion and lacrimation, salivation, coughing, sneezing, labored
breathing and diarrhea. Lethal oral dosing of rabbits caused lethargy, severe diarrhea and circulatory
collapse. Vascular and degenerative lesions were observed in the kidneys and liver.
Trimethylbenzenes, all isomers:
The TCLo for humans is 10 ppm, with somnolence and respiratory tract irritation noted. In inhalation
studies with rats, four of ten animals died after exposures of 2400 ppm for 24 hours. An oral dose of 5
mL/kg resulted in death in one of ten rats. Minimum lethal intraperitoneal doses were 1.5 to 2.0 mL/kg
in rats and 1.13 to 12 mL/kg in guinea pigs. Levels of total hydrocarbon vapors present in the breathing
atmosphere of these workers ranged from 10 to 60 ppm. Mesitylene (1, 3, 5 Trimethylbenzene)
inhalation at concentrations of 1.5, 3.0, and 6.0 mg/L for six hours was associated with dose-related
changes in white blood cell counts in rats. No significant effects on the complete blood count were
noted with six hours per day exposure for five weeks, but elevations of alkaline phosphatase and SGOT
were observed. Central nervous system depression and ataxia were noted in rats exposed to 5,100 to
9,180 ppm for two hours.
Benzene:
Prolonged and repeated exposure to high concentrations of benzene is associated with injury to blood
forming organs and anemia. It is linked to the development of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in
humans. Studies of workers exposed to high levels of benzene have identified humoral and cellular
immunity impairment and a decrease in levels of circulating leukocytes. NTP, IARC and OSHA list
benzene as carcinogenic to humans. Consumption of alcohol may increase the blood system changes
related to benzene exposure. Animal studies have shown testicular effects and alterations in
reproductive cycles, but teratogenic effects have not been reported even at maternally toxic doses.
Also, animal studies show some evidence of fetotoxic and developmental effects.
Ethylbenzene:
NTP completed a 2-year inhalation bioassay of ethylbenzene in rodents. The study was conducted in
rats and mice at exposure concentrations of 0, 75, 200 and 750 ppm. No significant effects were
observed at the 75 and 200 ppm levels. However, compared to chamber controls, the severity of
nephropathy was increased in rats at the 750 ppm level; and male rats had higher incidences of renal
tubule carcinomas. Step section analyses of the kidneys found a significant increase hyperplasia and
renal tubule adenomas in both male and female rats. Also at this 750 ppm level, male mice had a
higher incidence of alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas and carcinomas and female mice had increased
hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas when compared to chamber controls. Also, hyperplasia was
observed in the thyroid gland of both sexes of mice and in the pituitary gland of female mice. The
relevance of these findings to human health is unclear. However, based upon this data, the IARC has
designated ethylbenzene as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
Cyclohexane:
Cyclohexane can cause eye, skin and mucous membrane irritation, CNS depressant and narcosis at
elevated concentrations. In experimental animals exposed to lethal concentrations by inhalation or oral
route, there was generalized vascular damage and severe degenerative changes in the heart, lungs,
liver, kidneys and brain. Cyclohexane does not act as a promotor for tumors on mice when exposed to
dimethylbenzanthracene. Further, it did not induce unscheduled DNA synthesis in cultured human
lymphocytes. It is not mutagenic in the Salmonella/microsome (Ames) or the mouse lymphoma L5178Y
assays, with or without metabolic activation. However, it did increase the number of chromosomal

aberrations in bone marrow cells of rats exposed to between 100 and 300 ppm for six hours/day for five
days. These chromosomal aberrations did not appear to be dose-related.
Naphthalene:
Naphthalene is a potential irritant to eyes, skin and lungs. Ingestion of naphthalene has been
associated with severe red blood cell and liver damage leading to death. Following prolonged or
repeated exposures, naphthalene has been shown to cause cataracts, optical neuritis, hemolytic and
aplastic anemia, jaundice and possibly neurotoxicity. In animal studies, naphthalene caused fetal
effects and decreased spleen weights in pregnant female mice. In an NTP sponsored study,
naphthalene produced a dose related increase in tumors at the 30 and 60 ppm exposure level in both
male and female rats. Higher incidences of respiratory epithelial adenomas, olfactory epithelial
neuroblastomas and non-neoplastic lesions of the nose were observed as compared to controls.
Cytogenic studies with Chinese hamster ovary cells have demonstrated sister chromatid exchanges
and chromosomal aberrations. The relevance of these studies to human health is unclear.
Indene:
Indene and ethylmethylbenzenes are primary skin irritants. Overexposure has been associated with
kidney damage and increased blood cholinesterase levels. In inhalation developmental studies, indene
and other C9 aromatic hydrocarbons have been associated with decreased fetal and newborne pup
weights.
Tetraethyl Lead:
Tetraethyl lead is toxic by ingestion, intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, and parenteral routes.
It is moderately toxic by inhalation and skin contact. Teratogenic and reproductive effects have been
associated with tetraethyl lead in experimental animals. Lead compounds, such as tetraethyl lead, can
affect the central nervous system.
Styrene:
Neurological injury associated with chronic styrene exposure include distal hypesthesia, decreased
nerve conduction velocity, and altered psychomotor performance. These effects did not occur with
exposures to airborne concentrations that were less than 100 ppm. Increased deaths from
degenerative neurological disorders were found in a comprehensive epidemiological study of Danish
reinforced plastics workers. These workers were reported to have a 2.5-fold increased risk for myeloid
leukemia with clonal chromosome aberrations. Also, there are several studies that suggest potential
reproductive effects in humans and experimental animals from overexposure to styrene. Styrene was
not mutagenic in the standard (liquid phase) Ames Salmonella/microsome assay, but was weakly
positive when tested in the vapor phase. IARC has listed styrene as possibly carcinogenic to humans
(Group 2B).
SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity Leaded gasoline is potentially toxic to freshwater and saltwater ecosystems.
Environmental Fate Gasoline contains components that are potentially toxic to freshwater and saltwater ecosystems. It will
normally float on water. The lighter components of gasoline will evaporate rapidly. In stagnant or
slow-flowing waterways, a hydrocarbon layer can cover a large surface area. As a result, this covering
layer might limit or eliminate natural atmospheric oxygen transport into the water. With time, if not
removed, oxygen depletion in the waterway might be enough to cause a fish kill or create an anaerobic
environment. This coating action can also be harmful or fatal to plankton, algae, aquatic life, and water
birds.
This material can be hazardous to human health or the environment. If spilled, this material will
normally evaporate rapidly. Hydrocarbon components may contribute to atmospheric smog. The
atmospheric half-life of the butane components under photochemical smog conditions are estimated to
be between three and seven days. Isopentane, n-pentane, hexane isomers, n-heptane, heptane
isomers and iso-octane have estimated half-lives of between two and five days in air when
photochemical hydroxyl or nitrate radicals are present. Toluene has a half-life of from three hours to
approximately one day. Cyclohexane has a half-life of from six hours to over four days when hydroxyl
radicals are present.

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.
Maximize material recovery for reuse or recycling. If spilled material is introduced into a wastewater
treatment system, chemical and biological oxygen demand (COD and BOD) will likely increase. This
material is biodegradable if gradually exposed to microorganisms, preferably in an aerobic
environment. In sewage- seeded wastewater, at or below concentrations of 0.2 vol.% of this naphtha,
there is little or no effect on bio-oxidation and/or digestion. However, at 1 vol.%, it doubles the
required digestion period. Higher concentrations interfere with floc formation and sludge settling and
also plug filters or exchange beds. Vapor emissions from a bio-oxidation process contaminated with
this material might prove to be a health hazard.
Recovered non-usable material may be regulated by US EPA as a hazardous waste due to its
ignitibility (D001) and/or its toxic (D008 and/or D018) characteristics. In addition, 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. Transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of waste material must be conducted in
accordance with RCRA regulations (see 40 CFR Parts 260 through 271). State and/or local
regulations might be even more restrictive. Contact the RCRA/Superfund Hotline at (800) 424-9346 or
your regional US EPA office for guidance concerning case specific disposal issues.
