ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY DATA.- <br /> 'The <br /> ATA:'The data above is obtaighd from studies sponsored by th erican <br /> Petroleum Institute <br /> 12. JLDDITIONJLL HFALTH DATA. <br /> ADDITIONAL HEALTH DATA <br /> This product contains a mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons called middle <br /> distillates (which means they boil between approximately 35OF and 700F). <br /> Because of this broad description, many products are considered middle <br /> distillates yet they are produced by a variety of different petroleum <br /> refining processes;. Toxicology data developed on some middle distillates <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 effectx. <br /> Whole diesel engine exhaust was reviewed by the International Agency for <br /> Research on Cancer (IARC) in their Monograph 46 (1989). Evidence for <br /> causing cancer was considered sufficient in animals and limited in humans. <br /> IARC placed diesel exhaust in category 2A, considering it probably <br /> carcinogenic to humans. <br /> The National Institute of Occupational safety and Health (NIOSH) 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 /> The above information is based on the data of which we are aware and is <br /> believed to be correct as of the date hereof. Since this information may <br /> be applied under conditions beyond our control and with which we may be <br /> unfamiliar and since data made available subsequent to the date hereof may <br /> suggest modification of the information, we do not assume any responsibil- <br /> ity for the results of its use.
