i� <br /> y � <br /> (MSDS: 731678) Page 8 of 10 <br /> Target Organ(s): In rats and mice exposed to 0, 75,250, or 750 ppm ethyl benzene in a two <br /> year inhalation study there was mild damage to the kidney(tubular hyperplasia), liver(eosinophilio foci, <br /> hypertrophy,necrosis),thyroid (hyperplasia)and pituitary(hyperplasia). <br /> n-Hexane (CAS# 110-54-3� <br /> Target Organ(s): Excessive exposure to n-hexane can result in peripheral neuropathies. The <br /> initial symptoms are symmetrical sensory numbness and paresthesias of distal portions of the extremities. <br /> Motor weakness is typically observed in muscles of the toes and fingers but may also involve muscles of <br /> the arms,thighs and forearms. The onset of these symptoms may be delayed for several months to a year <br /> after the beginning of exposure. The neurotoxic properties of n-hexane are potentiated by exposure to <br /> methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone. <br /> Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of n-hexane(>1,000 ppm)has resulted in decreased sperm count <br /> and degenerative changes in the testes of rats but not those of mice. <br /> L Acute Data: <br /> Gasoline: <br /> Dermal LD50>5 ml/kg (Rabbit) <br /> ' LC50> 45b0 ppm (Rat) <br /> Oral LD50= 18.75 ml/kg.
