Lead additives in particular were widely used in gasoline until the ' introduction of vehicle catalytic converters. Mild cases of gasoline ingestion can cause inebriation, vomiting, vertigo, drowsiness, confusion, and fever. Aspiration into the lungs and secondary pneumonia may occur unless prevented. Gasoline can cause hyperemia of the conjunctiva and other eye disturbances. Gasoline is a skin irritant and a possible allergen. Repeated or chronic ' dermal contact can result in drying of the skin, lesions, and other dermatologic conditions. The IP for gasoline varies by the composition. No OSHA PEL is listed for gasoline. The Cal/OSHA PEL is listed as 300 ppm. The TLV is listed as 300 ppm. Toluene ' Toluene is a colorless liquid with a benzol-like odor. Human systemic effects of exposure to toluene include: central nervous system changes, hallucinations or distorted perceptions, motor activity changes, psychophysiological changes, and bone marrow changes. It is a severe eye irritant and an experimental teratogen. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause impairment of coordination and reaction time, headaches, nausea, eye irritation, loss of appetite, a bad taste in the mouth, and ' lassitude. The IP for toluene is listed as 8.82 eV. The OSHA PEL is listed as 200 ppm. ' The Cal/OSHA PEL is listed as 50 ppm. The TLV is listed as 50 ppm. Note: Published exposure limits designate a skin notation that indicates dermal contact can contribute to overall exposure. ' Trichlorethylene (TCE) ' TCE is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic chloroform odor. It is a mildly toxic VOC that is also an experimental carcinogen, tumorigen, and teratogen. It can cause eye effects, hallucinations, and distorted perceptions when inhaled. TCE is an eye and severe skin irritant. Exposure to vapors may cause eye, nose, and throat irritation. Prolonged inhalation of moderate concentrations of vapor may cause headaches and drowsiness. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause narcosis and ' anesthesia. Severe, acute exposure can result in cardiac failure. Significant chronic exposure may damage liver and other organs. Prolonged repeated skin contact with the liquid may cause irritation and dermatitis. The IP for TCE is listed as 9.45 eV. ' RIFSWP-AppF-AttFI-Rev1-04111:SRL page F7-3
