CHEVRON Regular Gasoline Page 3 of 30 from similar mat,:rials. RESPIRATORY/InALATION: This substance ij slightly toxic to internal organs if inhaled. The degree of injury will depend on the airborne concentration and duration of exposire. The target organ(s) is the nervous system. Inhalation of gasoline vapor at airborne concentrations exceeding 1000 ppm may cause signs and symptoms of central nervous system affects such as headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, weakness and loss of s.ordination. Vapor concentrations in excess of 5000 ppm may cause loss of consciousness, coma and death. BrieZ exposures to high vapor concentrations may also cause pulmonary edema and bronchitis. Intentional exposures to excessively high concentrations (e.g., when used as a drug of abuse) have been reported to result in clinical manifestations that may include convulsions, delirium, and hallucinations. These manifestations are not known to occur following accidental inhalation of gasoline vapor during normal operations. This b azard evaluation is based on data from similar materials. INGESTION: This substance is slightly toxic to internal organs if swallowed. The degree of injury will depend on the amount absorbed from the gut.. The target organ(s) is the nervous system. Signs and symptoms of central nervous system effects may include one or more of the following: headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, weakness and loss of coordination. Because of the low viscosity of this substance, it can directly enter the lungs if it is swallowed (this is called aspiration). This can occur during the act of s4allowing or when vomiting the substance. once in the lungs, the substance is very difficult to remove and can cause severe injury to the lungs and death. This hazard evaluation is based on data from similar materials, 4. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT EYE PROTECTION: Z)o not get this material in your eyes. Eye contact can be avoided by wearing chemical goggles. SINN PROTECTION: Avoid contact with skin or clothing. Skin contact should be minimized by wearing protective clothing including gloves. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: No special respiratory protection is normally required. however, if operating conditions create airborne concentrations which exceed the recommended exposure standards, the use of an approved respirator is required. Refer to the OSHA Benzene Standard to determine what type of respirator is required based on exposure levels. VENTTILATION: Use this material only in well ventilated areas. b.
