Now Nor Health and Safety Plan <br /> September 15,2008 <br /> Page 8 <br /> Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing <br /> vapors, mist, fume or dust. Do not swallow. May be aspirated <br /> into lungs. Wear protective equipment and/or garments described <br /> in Section C if exposure conditions warrant. Wash thoroughly <br /> after handling. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Use <br /> with adequate ventilation. <br /> Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames. Store in a <br /> well-ventilated area. Store in a closed container. Bond and <br /> ground during transfer. <br /> E . Reactivity Data <br /> Stability: Stable <br /> Conditions to Avoid: Not Established <br /> Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid) : Oxygen and strong oxidizing agents <br /> Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur <br /> Conditions to Avoid: Not Established <br /> .� Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon and sulfur oxides and <br /> various hydrocarbons formed when <br /> burned. <br /> _ F . Health Hazard Data <br /> Recommended Exposure Limits : <br /> Not Established <br /> Acute Effects of Overexposure : <br /> Eye: May cause mild irritation, with stinging and redness of the <br /> eyes. <br /> Skin: May cause severe irritation. Repeated or prolonged contact <br /> may cause defatting of the skin, resulting in dermatitis. <br /> Dermal LD50 for diesel fuel is > 5 ml/kg (rabbit) . <br /> Inhalation: May cause irritation to nose, throat or lungs. Headache, nausea, <br /> dizziness, unconsciousness may occur. <br /> Ingestion: May cause irritation to intestines. May cause headache, <br /> nausea, unconsciousness. If swallowed, may be aspirated <br /> 0.10% Sulfur Diesel Fuel Page 3 of 5 <br /> http://seweb2.phillips66.com/hes/msds.nsf/fe38d07818a8968.../547a5e95eafd7fbf862565d10078 <br /> 772f?OpenDocumen 12/30/98 <br /> resulting in inflammation and possible fluid accumulation in <br /> _ the lungs. Oral LD50 for diesel fuel is 9 ml/kg (rat) . <br /> Subchronic and Chronic Effects of Overexposure: <br /> Combustion, a normal use of diesel fuel, results in an exhaust that <br /> has been associated with lung cancer in animals. There is limited <br /> evidence to suggest an association between occupational exposure to <br /> diesel exhaust and lung cancer in humans. <br /> Carbon monoxide inhalation may cause carboxyhemoglobinemia. Chronic <br /> exposure to carbon monoxide causes fatigue, poor memory, loss of <br /> sensation in fingers, visual disturbances and insomnia. <br /> Carboxyhemoglobinemia is frequently misdiagnosed as flu. <br /> Sensitive sub-populations to the inhalation of carbon monoxide exist. <br /> Carbon monoxide displaces oxygen in the bloodstream and therefore, <br /> can adversely effect people with pre-existing heart disease, pregnant <br /> women and smokers. <br /> Other Health Effects : <br /> No known applicable information. <br /> Health Hazard Categories : <br /> Animal Human Animal Human <br /> Known Carcinogen Toxic _ <br /> Suspect Carcinogen Corrosive <br />
