Prevent vapor accumulation. <br />Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents and strong reducing agents. <br />Hazardous decomposition products: Not anticipated under normal conditions of use. <br />SECTION 11: Toxicological information <br />Information on Toxicological Effects <br />Substance / Mixture <br />Aspiration Hazard: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways <br />Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes skin irritation. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. <br />Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes eye irritation. <br />Skin Sensitization: Not expected to be a skin sensitizer. <br />Respiratory Sensitization: No information available. <br />Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Single Exposure): May cause drowsiness and dizziness. <br />Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure): Not expected to cause organ effects from repeated exposure. Two <br />year inhalation studies of wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline, and 90 days studies of various petroleum naphthas, did not <br />produce significant target organ toxicity in laboratory animals. Nephropathy in male rats, characterized by the accumulation of <br />alpha-2-u- globulin in epithelial cells of the proximal tubules was observed, however follow-up studies suggest that these <br />changes are unique to the male rat. <br />Carcinogenicity: May cause cancer. Based on component information. Two year inhalation studies of vaporized unleaded <br />gasoline produced an increased incidence of kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors in female mice. Repeated skin <br />application of various petroleum naphthas in mice for two years resulted in an increased incidence of skin tumors but only in <br />the presence of severe skin irritation. Follow-up mechanistic studies suggest that the occurrence of these tumors may be the <br />consequence of promotional processes and not relevant to human risk assessment. Epidemiology data collected from a study <br />of more than 18,000 petroleum marketing and distribution workers showed no increased risk of leukemia, multiple myeloma, or <br />kidney cancer from gasoline exposure. Unleaded gasoline has been identified as a possible carcinogen by the International <br />Agency for Research on Cancer. <br />Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Not expected to cause heritable genetic effects. Gasoline was negative in microbial mutagenicity <br />and unscheduled DNA tests in rat hepatocytes. Gasoline did not induce chromosome aberrations in vivo in rat bone marrow <br />cells and was negative in a mouse dominant lethal assay. <br />Reproductive Toxicity: Not expected to cause reproductive toxicity. No evidence of developmental toxicity was found in <br />pregnant laboratory animals (rats and mice) exposed to high vapor concentrations of unleaded gasoline and petroleum <br />naphthas via inhalation. A two-generation reproductive toxicity study of vapor recovery gasoline did not adversely affect <br />reproductive function or offspring survival and development. <br />Acute Toxicity Hazard Additional Information LC50/LD50 Data <br />Inhalation Expected to have a low degree <br />of toxicity by inhalation <br />>5.2 mg/L (vapor) <br />Dermal Unlikely to be harmful 3.75 g/kg <br />Oral Unlikely to be harmful 14 g/kg
