Inhalation Hazards <br />Contaminants that have been documented to occur in soil and groundwater at the site include <br />gasoline, diesel fuel and waste oil. Site specific hazard identification with regards to the <br />inhalation of these contaminants are discussed below. <br />Gasoline <br />Gasoline is a clear liquid with a characteristic odor. Inhalation or absorption of gasoline can <br />cause irritation of the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes, dermatitis, headache, fatigue, <br />slurred speech, confusion, and convulsions. <br />The California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal -OSHA) Permissible <br />Exposure Limit (PEL) (the maximum permitted 8 -hour time -weighted average concentration <br />of an airborne contaminant) for gasoline is 300 parts per million (ppm). The Short Tenn <br />Exposure Limit (STEL) (the maximum permitted 15 minute time weighted exposure) for <br />gasoline is 500 ppm. <br />Diesel Fuel <br />Diesel fuel is a clear liquid with an aromatic odor. Absorption of diesel fuel can cause <br />irritation and dermatitis. <br />Due to its low vapor pressure, Cal -OSHA PELs and STELs have not been established for <br />diesel fuel. <br />SSP.Praject No. 9 <br />Date <br />
