CHEVRON Diesel Fuel' No. 2 Page 7 of 8 <br /> ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY DATA: <br /> The data above is obtained from studies sponsored by the American <br /> Petroleum Institute (API). <br /> 12. ADDITIONAL HEALTH DATA <br /> ADDITIONAL HEALTH DATA COKKENT: <br /> This product contains a mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons called middle <br /> distillates (which means they boil between approximately,350 aid 700 F). <br /> Decause of this: broad description, many products are consideree middle <br /> distillates yet they are produced by a variety of different petroleum <br /> refining processes. Toxicology data developed on some middle cistillates <br /> - found that they caused positive responses in some mutagenicity tests and <br /> caused skin cancer when repeatedly applied to mice over their lifetime. <br /> This product may contain, some middle distillates found to cause those <br /> adverse effects. <br /> This product contains naphthalene. Overexposure to naphthalE:n( by <br /> inhalation of vapor, ingestion or skin contact may produce signs and <br /> symptoms of headache, fever, profuse sweating, nausea, abdominal pain, <br /> 3iarrhea, lethargy, tremors, convulsions, evidence of blood changes, <br /> including hematuria and hemoglabinuria, and optic neuritis. Laboratory <br /> - animals giver, repeated oral doses of naphthalene have developer cataracts- <br /> MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO NAPHTHALENE: Individuals <br /> kith congenital erythrocyte glucose-5-phosphate dehydrogenase ceficiency <br /> may be particularly susceptible to the hemolytic effects of the <br /> naphthalene. <br /> Whole diesel engine exhaust was reviewed by the International lgency for <br /> Research on cancer (IARC) in their Monograph 46 11989?. Eviderce for <br /> causing cancer was considered sufficient in animals and limiterin humans. <br /> IARC placed this material in category 2A, considering it probally <br /> carcinogenic to humans. <br /> The National institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSI ) has <br /> recommended that whole diesel exhaust be regarded as potentially causing <br /> cancer. This recommendation was based on test results showing increased <br /> lung cancer in laboratory animals exposed to whole diesel exhaust. The <br /> excess risk of cancer for people exposed to diesel exhaust has not been <br /> determined as studies on exposed workers have been inconclusive. It is <br /> recommended that exposure to diesel exhaust be minimized to reduce the <br /> potential cancer risk. <br /> �. **Rttkfitt*tat*:*art:tit****ttttirY tt!*tttx****t#**intltt***tt***t***tt*tt* <br /> _.
