SECTION 3.0 JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS <br />3.1 GENERAL BACKGROUND <br />The possible contaminant present on site is organics and lead from gasoline and/or diesel fuel. <br />3.2 WASTE DESCRIPTION <br />Diesel Fuel <br />The hazardous constituent of diesel fuel is benzene. Benzene comprises approximately 0.002 <br />to 0.011% of the total fuel mixture. Dermal contact with diesel fuel can cause minor eye <br />irritation and dermal rash. Prolonged breathing of vapors can impact on the central nervous <br />system. Diesel fuel is not generally expected to have acute systemic toxicity by ingestion. <br />Ingestion of diesel fuel and/or subsequent vomiting can result in aspiration of light hydrocarbon <br />liquid which can cause pneumonitis. There is no Federal or State OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV <br />standard established for diesel fuel. <br />PEL/TLV <br />STEL <br />IDHL <br />Lead <br />0.1 mg/m3 <br />Tetraethyllead <br />0.075 mg/m3 <br />0.3 mg/m3 <br />40 mg/m3 <br />Tetramethyllead <br />0.07 mg/m3 <br />0.5 mg/m3 <br />40 mg/m3 <br />Benzene <br />10 ppm <br />25 ppm <br />2,000 ppm <br />Toluene <br />100 ppm <br />150 ppm <br />2,000 ppm <br />Ethylbenzene <br />100 ppm <br />125 ppm <br />2,000 ppm <br />Xylene <br />100 ppm <br />150 ppm <br />10,000 ppm <br />
