Harmful:may cause lung damage if <br /> swallowed. Irritating to eyes,respiratory system and skin. In high concentrations,vapors and <br /> spray mists are narcotic and may cause headache,fatigue,dizziness and nausea. Hydrogen <br /> sulfide, a highly toxic gas, may be present. Signs and symptoms of overexposure to hydrogen <br /> sulfide include respiratory and eye irritation,dizziness, nausea,coughing, a sensation of dryness <br /> and pain in the nose, and loss of consciousness. Odor does not provide a reliable indicator of the <br /> presence of hazardous levels in the atmosphere.The toxicological properties of this material have <br /> not been fully investigated. <br /> Chronic effects Contains organic solvents which in case of overexposure may depress the central nervous system <br /> causing dizziness and intoxication. Repeated exposure to naphthalene may cause cataracts, <br /> allergic skin rashes,destruction of red blood cells, and anemia,jaundice, kidney and liver <br /> damage. Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure. Prolonged or repeated <br /> overexposure may cause central nervous system,kidney, liver,and lung damage. <br /> Subchronic effects Liver and kidney damage may occur after prolonged and repeated exposure. <br /> Carcinogenicity International Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC):Whole diesel engine exhaust—IARC Group <br /> 1. Exposure may cause lung cancer and also noted a positive association with an increased risk <br /> of bladder cancer. <br /> Diesel exhaust has been reported to be an occupational hazard due to NIOSH-reported potential <br /> carcinogenic properties. <br /> ACGIH Carcinogens <br /> Fuels,diesel, no.2(CAS 68476-34-6) A3 Confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to <br /> humans. <br /> Naphthalene(CAS 91-20.3) A4 Not classifiable as a human carcinogen. <br /> IARC Monographs.Overall Evaluation of Carcinogenicity <br /> Fuels, diesel, no.2(CAS 68476-34-6) 3 Not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans. <br /> DIESEL FUELS <br /> 3541 Version#:03 Revison date:25-June-2013 Print date:25-June-2013 8113 <br /> Prepared by 3E Company <br />
