UNLEADED GASOLINE(UNBRANDED) MSDS No. APPC975 Ver. 1 <br /> Summary of Exposures at airborne concentrations well above the recommended exposure limits in <br /> Chronic Hazards Section 2 may aggravate medical conditions such as chronic respiratory diseases, <br /> and Special cardiovascular disease, skin diseases, or blood disorders. <br /> Health Effects Prolonged/repeated exposures above the recommended exposure limits via skin contact, <br /> inhalation or ingestion of this material may result in adverse dermal or systemic effects. <br /> Avoid prolonged or repeated overexposure. <br /> Contains benzene, a chemical known to cause cancer in humans. Repeated and prolonged <br /> overexposure to benzene vapors may cause leukemia, aplastic anemia, or other blood <br /> disorders, immunotoxicity, reproductive harm or fetal toxicity. <br /> Neurotoxic effects have been associated with n-hexane, a component of this material upon <br /> prolonged or repeated overexposure. <br /> Generally, human exposures to gasoline are considerably lower than levels which have <br /> caused adverse health effects in animal studies or human case studies of gasoline misuse <br /> or abuse (such as gasoline sniffing). Adverse health effects are not expected to occur at <br /> exposure levels typically encountered in the use of gasoline as a motor fuel. <br /> See Section 11 for Additional Toxicological Information. <br /> 4. EMERGENCY and FIRST AID <br /> Inhalation Immediately move personnel to area with fresh air. For respiratory distress, give oxygen, <br /> rescue breathing or administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Obtain prompt <br /> medical attention. <br /> Eye Contact Flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the eyelids. <br /> If pain or redness is present after flushing, obtain medical attention. <br /> Skin Contact Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and <br /> water. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention. <br /> Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Obtain prompt medical attention. <br /> ASPIRATION HAZARD: This material can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and <br /> may cause lung inflammation and damage. <br /> Emergency See above procedures. <br /> Medical <br /> Treatment <br /> Procedures <br /> 5. FIRE and EXPLOSION <br /> Flash Point (Method)* AP -45°F " NFPA Hazard Rating: <br /> Autoignition Temperature (Method)* AP 536°F " Health: 1 = Slight <br /> Flammable Limits (%Vol. in Air)* Lower AP 1.4 Fire: 3= High <br /> Upper AP 7.6 Reactivity: 0= Insignificant <br /> 'At Normal Atmospheric Temperature and Pressure "Based on NFPA Gasoline Special: = --- <br /> Fire and HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! Vaporizes easily at normal and below normal temperatures. When <br /> Explosion mixed with air in certain proportions and exposed to an ignition source, these vapors can <br /> Hazards burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than air, flammable vapors <br /> may travel long distances along the ground before reaching a point of ignition and flashing <br /> back. <br /> May accumulate static electricity. <br /> Liquid floats on water and may travel to a source of ignition and spread fire. <br /> "Empty' containers retain liquid and vapor residues and, if exposed to source of ignition, may <br /> explode. <br /> Print Date:05/19/2003 Page 3 of 8 <br />
