Tt consists of a complex <br /> mi dwo of mostly unbranched paraffins(C'9 ` 7). Diesel fuel is a combustible liquid with <br /> a flesh poitt of 110-190 which sho;a:d be considered to be a moderate fire hazard, WM1C <br /> i <br /> the inhalation toxicity of diesel oil is considerably lower than gasoline,the gasoline exposure <br /> limit(TLV)will be used to control exposure to airborne diesel vapors in the absence of an <br /> occupation standard for diesel vapor exposure. The airborne standard(TLV)for gasoline <br /> 1 is 300 FP11L <br /> Under conditions where exposure may occur, mild eye, nose and throat irritation, <br /> i headaches,nausea,drowsiness and dizziness may possibly occur. In open areas,ventilation <br /> Is usually adequate to prevent prolonged breatltittg of high diesel vapor concentrations. <br /> --'' Diesel he] Is a combusale liquid rdth a flash point as low as <br /> be <br /> taken to keep sources of ignition from coming uttoo cOn act with l I�F. vapors- <br /> must of <br /> j�(� D Cr st l,e maim c I gasoline�-apors_ � Brio <br /> 4.2 Gasoline <br /> i <br /> MATERIAL.
