Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Serious Eye Darnagefin itatlon: Causes mild eye irritation. Skin Sensitizntion: Not expected to be a skin sensitizer. Respiratory Sensitization: Not expected to be a respiratory sensitizer. Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Single Exposure): Not expected to cause organ effects from single exposure. Specific Target organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure): May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Repeated dermal application of petroleum gas oils for 90 days resulted In decreased liver, thymus, and spleen weights, and altered bone marrow function. Microscopic alterations included liver hypertrophy and necrosis, decreased hematopoesis and lymphocyte depletion. Carcinogenicity: Suspected of causing cancer. Petroleum middle distillates have been shown to cause skin tumors In mice following repeated and prolonged skin contact. Follow-up studies have shown that these tumors are produced through a non -genotoxic mechanism associated with frequent cell damage and repair, and that they are not likely to cause tumors In the absence of prolonged skin Irritation. Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Not expected to cause heritable genetic effects. Reproductive Toxlcity: Not expected to cause reproductive toxicity. Other Comments: Diesel engine exhaust has been classified by the international Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC} and National Toxicology Program (NTP) as a carcinogen. Information on Toxicological Effects of Components NagWaIM Carcinogenicity: Naphthalene has been evaluated in two year Inhalation studies in both rats and mice. The US National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded that there Is clear evidence of cardnogenicity in male and female rats based an Increased Irwidences of respiratory epithelial adenomas and olfactory epithelial neuroblastomas of the nose. NTP found some evidence of carcinogenicity in female mice (alveolar adenomas) and no evidence of carcinogenicity In male mice. Naphthalene has been Identified as a carcinogen by IARC and NTP. • Its WAI ••=A• ;•Ainfa#��an .1 :. tt•1 .}i.�`• •/ w • • • • •1� �•• 1�`..•S�!^1•�:S •rT a :'l. •� • •••llx.• I"'�1.1 ••! 1_►!. .•• '*� !• •��% •1.•� _.� • •• q� •w� •yJ 1 GHS Classiffca#lon: H411 .m Hazardous to the aquatic environment, chronic toxicity — Category 2 Toxic to aquatic Iife with long lasting effects. roxicity: Experimental studies of gas oils show that acute aquatic toxicity values are typically in the range 2-20 mg/L. These values are consistent with the predicted aquatic toxicity of these substances based on their hydrocarbon compositions. They should be regarded as toxic to aquatic organisms, with the potential to cause long tern adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Persistence and Degradabliity: Gas oils are complex combinations of individual hydrocarbon species. Based on the known or expected properties of Individual constituents, category members are not predicted to be readily biodegradable. Some hydrocarbon constituents of gas oils are predicted to meet the criteria for persistence; on the other hand, some components can be easily degraded by mfcmorganisms under aerobic conditions. Persistence per IOPG Fund definition: Non -Persistent Bloaccumulative Potential: Gas oil components have measured or calculated Log Kow values in the range of 3.9 to 6 which indicates a high potential to bloaccumulate. Lower molecular weight compounds are readily metabolized and the actual bioaccumulatlon potential of higher molecular weight compounds Is limited by the low water solubility and large molecular size. MobBity In Soil: Releases to water will result In a hydrocarbon film floating and spreading on the surface. For the lighter components, volatilization is an Important loss process and reduces the hazard to aquatic organisms. In air, the hydrocarbon
