Major Route(s) of Entry Skin contact. Eye contact. Inhalation.
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure
Breathing mist or vapors concentrations well above occupational exposure levels can irritate
Inhalation
the mucous membranes of the nose, throat, bronchi, and lungs and can cause transient
central nervous system (CNS) depression. Signs and symptoms of CNS depression include
headache, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, slurred speech, flushed face, confusion,
weakness, fatigue or loss of consciousness depending upon the concentration and/or
duration of exposure. In severe cases, overexposure by inhalation can cause convulsions,
coma, or death.
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.
Animal test results on similar materials suggest that this product can cause moderate to
Skin Contact
severe skin irritation. 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 mouth, throat, and esophagus. It can be absorbed
into the blood stream through the stomach and intestinal tract. Symptoms may include a
burning sensation of the mouth and esophagus, nausea and vomiting. In addition, it can
cause central nervous system effects characterized by dizziness, staggering, drowsiness,
delirium and/or loss of consciousness.
Because of the low viscosity, this material can enter the lungs directly by aspiration during
swallowing or subsequent vomiting. Aspiration of a small amount of liquid can cause severe
lung damage and/or death.
Chronic Health Effects Secondary effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration into the lungs may cause
Summary pneumatocele (lung cavity) 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 exposed skin of the test animal with soap and water between treatments greatly
reduces the potential tumorigenic effects. These data suggest that good personal hygiene is
effective in reducing the risk of this potential adverse health effect.
This material and/or its components have been associated with developmental toxicity,
reproductive toxicity, genotoxicity, immunotoxicity, and/or 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 diseases, neurological conditions, liver or kidney dysfunction.

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.

Temperature
Hazardous Combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, smoke, fumes, unburned hydrocarbons and oxides of
Products sulfur and/or nitrogen.
Special Properties Combustible Liquid! This material releases vapors when heated above ambient
temperatures. Vapors can cause a flash fire. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and
flashback. A vapor and air mixture can create an explosion hazard in confined spaces such
as sewers. Use only with adequate ventilation. If container is not properly cooled, it can
rupture in the heat of a fire.
Extinguishing Media SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, foam, water fog, or inert gas (nitrogen).
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.
Firefighters must use full bunker gear including NIOSH-approved positive pressure

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 of
potential fire and explosion hazard 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.
Combustible Liquid! Release can result in a fire hazard. Evacuate all non-essential personnel
from release area. Establish a regulated zone with site control and security. Eliminate all
ignition sources. Stop the leak if it can done without risk. A vapor-suppressing foam may be
used to reduce vapors. Properly bond or ground all equipment used when handling this
material. Avoid skin contact. Do not walk through spilled material. Verify that responders are
properly trained and wearing appropriate personnel protective equipment. Dike far ahead of a
liquid spills. Do not allow released material to entry waterways, sewers, basements, or
confined areas. This material will float on water. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other
non-combustible material. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Place
spent sorbent materials, free liquids and other clean-up debris into proper waste containers
for appropriate disposal. Certain releases must be reported to the National Response Center
(800/424-8802) and state or regulatory authorities. Comply with all laws and regulations.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Combustible Liquid!
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 containing gasoline or similar low flash point products).
Fire hazard increases as product temperature approaches its flash point. 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.
When performing repairs and maintenance on contaminated equipment, keep unnecessary
persons from hazard area. Eliminate heat, flame and other potential ignition sources. Drain
and purge equipment, as necessary, to remove material residues. Remove contaminated
clothing. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep containers tightly closed. Do not store this
Storage
product near heat, flame or other potential ignition sources. Do not store with oxidizers. Do
not store this product in unlabeled containers. Do not puncture or incinerate containers.
Ground all equipment containing this material. All electrical equipment in areas where this
material is stored or handled must meet all applicable requirements of the NFPA's National
Electrical Code (NEC). Store and transport in accordance with all applicable laws.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls Provide 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.

gear may be required if splashing or spraying conditions exist. This may include an apron,
boots and additional facial protection. If product comes in contact with clothing, immediately
remove soaked clothing and shower. Promptly remove and discarded contaminated leather
goods.
Respiratory Protection Airborne concentration will determine the level of respiratiory protection required.
Respiratory protection is normally not required unless the product is heated or misted. For
known or anticipated vapor or mist concentrations above the occupational exposure
guidelines (see below), use a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator equipped with a
dust/mist prefilter 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).

Toxicity Data
Naphthalene:
Studies in Humans Overexposed to Naphthalene:
Severe jaundice, neurotoxicity (kernicterus) and fatalities have been reported in young
children and infants as a result of hemolytic anemia from over-exposure to naphthalene.
Persons with Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are more prone to the
hemolytic effects of naphthalene. Adverse effects on the kidney have also been reported
from over-exposure to naphthalene but these effects are believed to be a consequence of
hemolytic anemia, and not a direct effect.
Studies in Laboratory Animals:
Hemolytic anemia has been observed in laboratory animals exposed to naphthalene.
Laboratory rodents exposed to naphthalene vapor for 2 years (lifetime studies) developed
non-neoplastic and neoplastic tumors and inflammatory lesions of the nasal and respiratory
tract. Cataracts and other adverse effects on the eye have been observed in laboratory
animals exposed to high levels of naphthalene. Findings from a large number of bacterial
and mammalian cell mutation assays have been negative. A few studies have shown
chromosomal effects (elevated levels of Sister Chromatid Exchange or chromosomal
aberrations) in vitro.
:
Trimethylbenzenes, all isomers
Studies of Workers:
Levels of total hydrocarbon vapors present in the breathing atmosphere of these workers
ranged from 10 to 60 ppm. The TCLo for humans is 10 ppm, with somnolence and
respiratory tract irritation noted.
Studies in Laboratory Animals:
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.
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.
:
Biphenyl (Diphenyl)
Studies in Humans Overexposed to Biphenyl:
Evidence of adverse effects on the liver and the nervous system have been described in
studies of workers exposed to high levels for prolonged periods.
Studies in Laboratory Animals:
Evidence of adverse effects on the kidney and liver, and changes in whole blood (reduced
hematocrit and hemoglobin levels) have been observed in laboratory rodents following
subchronic exposure to biphenyl.
Genotoxicity & Carcinogenicity:
Biphenyl tested negative in bacteriological systems but some evidence of positive responses
have been reported in mammalian cell systems in the presence of metabolic activation. The
EPA has determined human and animal data are inadequate to classify the carcinogenic
potential of biphenyl.

DERMAL (LD50), Acute: 17,800 uL/kg [Rabbit].
INTRAPERITONEAL (LD50), Acute: 2,624 mg/kg [Rat].
Effects from Prolonged or Repeated Exposure:
Findings from a 2-year inhalation study in rodents conducted by NTP were as follows: Effects
were observed only at the highest exposure level (750 ppm). At this level the incidence of
renal tumors was elevated in male rats (tubular carcinomas) and female rats (tubular
adenomas). Also, the incidence of tumors was elevated in male mice (alveolar and
bronchiolar carcinomas) and female mice (hepatocellular carcinomas). IARC has classified
ethyl benzene as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B). Studies in laboratory
animals indicate some evidence of post-implantation deaths following high levels of maternal
exposure. The relevance of these findings to humans is not clear at this time. Studies in
laboratory animals indicate limited evidence of renal malformations, resorptions, and
developmental delays following high levels of maternal exposure. The relevance of these
findings to humans is not clear at this time. Studies in laboratory animals indicate some
evidence of adverse effects on the liver, kidney, thyroid, and pituitary gland.
:
Diesel exhaust particulate
Lung tumor and lymphomas were identified in rats and mice exposed to unflitered diesel fuel
exhaust in chronic inhalation studies. Further, epidemiological studies have identified
increase incidences of lung cancer in US railroad workers and bladder cancer in bus and
truck drivers possibly associated with exposure to diesel engine exhaust. NTP has
determined that exposure to diesel exhaust particulates, a complex mixture of combustion
products of diesel fuel, is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. In addition,
NIOSH has identified complete diesel exhaust as a potential carcinogen.

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.
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. Vapor emissions from a bio-oxidation process contaminated with this
material might be a potential health hazard.
Recovered non-usable material may be regulated by US EPA as a hazardous waste due to
its ignitibility characteristic (D001). 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).
Contact your regional US EPA office for guidance concerning case specific disposal issues.
State and/or local regulations might be even more restrictive.
