7' w CHEVRON Ragular Gasoline Page 3 of 10 from similar materials. RESPIRATORY/I�MAUATION: This substance i.; slightly toxic to internal organs if inhaled. The -� degree of injury will depend on the airborne concentration and duration of exposure. 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 effects such as headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, weakness and loss of coordination. Vapor concentrations in excess of 5000 ppm may cause loss of consciousness, coma and death. Brief exposures to high vapor concentrations may also cause y pulmonary edema and bronchitis. Intentional exposures to exce::sively high concentrations (=-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 hazard evaluation is based on data from similar materials. „., INGESTION: This substance is slightly toxic to internal organs if swallowed. The " degree of in}ury will depend on the amount absorbed from the gut. The Larget urgan(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. Becaune of the low viscosity of this substance, it can directly enter the lungs if it is swallowed (this is tailed aspiration). This can occur during the act of swallowing 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: Do not get this material in your eyes. Eye contact can be avoided by wearino chemical goggles. y sI:IN PROTECTION: • Avoid contact with skin or clothing. skin contact should be minimized by wearing protective clothing includ;ng 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 nzene Standard to determine what type of required. Refer to the OSH.". Be respirator is required based on exposure levels. VENTILATION: Use this material onl} in well ventilated areas. 5.
