UNLEADED GASOLINE(UNBRANDED) MSDS No. APPC975 Ver. 1 <br /> 2,2,4 TRIMETHYLPENTANE <br /> 540-84-1 AP 3 to 10 N/AP N/AP <br /> XYLENE <br /> 1330-20-7 AP 8 to 15 150 150 ppm STEL <br /> 100 100 ppm TWA <br /> which may contain: <br /> ETHANOL <br /> 64-17-5 AP 0 to 10 1000 1000 ppm TWA <br /> METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE)"j <br /> 1634-04-4 AP 0 to 15 40 N/AP ppm TWA <br /> 1 Carcinogen displayed ager Component Name. Listed by(1)NTP,(2)IARC,(3)OSHA,(4)Other <br /> 2See Abbreviations on last page <br /> 3 The OSHA exposure limits were changed in 1993 due to a federal court ruling. ARCO has chosen to list the 1989 OSHA exposure limits in this document as they are generally more <br /> stringent and therefore more protective than the current exposure limits.(Refer to 29 CFR 1910.1000), <br /> 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION <br /> IMMEDIATE HAZARDS <br /> DANGER <br /> HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! OSHA/NFPA Class IB flammable liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open <br /> flame. <br /> Never siphon gas by mouth. Harmful if swallowed. Contains petroleum distillates. <br /> ASPIRATION HAZARD! If swallowed, do not induce vomiting since aspiration into the lungs may cause chemical <br /> pneumonia. Obtain prompt medical attention. <br /> Prolonged or repeated liquid contact may cause irritation. High vapor concentrations (greater than 1000 <br /> ppm) may cause irritation to eyes and respiratory system and may cause dizziness and other nervous system <br /> effects. <br /> Generally, human exposures to gasoline are considerably lower than levels which have caused adverse health <br /> effects in animal studies or human case studies of gasoline misuse or abuse(such as gasoline sniffing). Adverse <br /> health effects are not expected to occur at exposure levels typically encountered in the use of gasoline as a motor <br /> fuel. <br /> Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Use only with adequate ventilation. Use as a motor fuel only. Do not use as a <br /> cleaning solvent, thinner or for other non-motor fuel use. <br /> Wash hands thoroughly after handling. <br /> ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS <br /> Routes of Exposure Signs and Symptoms <br /> Inhalation Exposures at airborne concentrations well above the recommended exposure limits in <br /> (Primary) Section 2 may cause irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs, headache, dizziness, <br /> drowsiness, confusion, loss of coordination,fatigue, nausea, labored breathing and irregular <br /> heartbeats. May lead to unconsciousness, convulsions, and possibly death. <br /> Eye Contact May cause some transitory eye irritation but not expected to cause prolonged or significant <br /> eye Irritation. <br /> Skin Contact Moderate skin irritation may occur upon short-term exposure. May be absorbed and <br /> contribute to the acute inhalation health effects (see above). <br /> Ingestion ASPIRATION HAZARD! This material can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting <br /> and may cause acute lung inflammation and damage which in severe cases may be fatal. <br /> Ingestion may cause irritation of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract leading to <br /> nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and restlessness. <br /> May cause headache, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, loss of coordination, fatigue, <br /> nausea and labored breathing. May lead to unconsciousness, convulsions, and possibly <br /> death. <br /> Print Date:05/19/2003 Page 2 of 8 <br />
