Gasoline <br /> Gasoline has an appearance of a clear, aromatic, volatile liquid, and is a mixture of aliphatic <br /> hydrocarbons. The flash point is listed at -50 degrees Fahrenheit, and has an LEL (Lower <br /> Explosive Limit) of approximately 1.3 percent. <br /> The TLV for gasoline is listed as 300 parts per million (ppm) in air. <br /> Benzene <br /> Benzene is a common constituent of gasoline and other petroleum product materials. It is a <br /> clear, colorless liquid, with a flash point listed at 12 degrees Fahrenheit. <br /> The currently established TLV for Benzene is 10 ppm in air. However, the American <br /> Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACG H) has recommended a TLV of 1 ppm be <br /> adopted. <br /> Toluene <br /> This material is a flammable, colorless liquid, with a benzol-like odor. The flash point is listed <br /> at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The currently established TLV is 100 ppm in air. <br /> Ethvlbenzene <br /> Ethylbenzene is a flammable, colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. The flash point is <br /> 59 degrees Fahrenheit, and the currently established TLV is 100 ppm in air. <br /> Xylene Compounds <br /> These materials area clear liquids with a flash point of 100 degrees Fahrenheit The TLV is <br /> currently established at 100 ppm in air. Xylene compounds are currently under study as <br /> possible carcinogens. <br /> It is not anticipated that the potential levels of exposure will reach personal exposure limit <br /> (PEL) or threshold limit value (TLV) limits, but this is based solely on limited available <br /> 3051351D/SSP2 3 November 2, 1995 <br />
