EE::S <br /> ]S <br /> MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> Gasoline, All Grades MSDS No. ss5o <br /> Oxygenated Conventional and Reformulated Gasoline will have oxygenates for octane enhancement or <br /> as legally required. <br /> 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION <br /> EYES <br /> Moderate irritant. Contact with liquid or vapor may cause irritation. <br /> SKIN <br /> Practically non-toxic if absorbed following acute (single) exposure. May cause skin irritation with <br /> prolonged or repeated contact. Liquid may be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts if large areas of <br /> skin are exposed repeatedly. <br /> INGESTION <br /> The major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liquid drops into <br /> the lungs, particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), <br /> severe lung damage, respiratory failure and even death. <br /> Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and <br /> central nervous system (brain)effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors, <br /> convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur. <br /> INHALATION <br /> Excessive exposure may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs and respiratory tract. Central nervous <br /> system (brain)effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, <br /> unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death. <br /> WARNING: the burning of any hydrocarbon as a fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result <br /> in hazardous levels of combustion products, including carbon monoxide, and inadequate oxygen levels, <br /> which may cause unconsciousness, suffocation, and death. <br /> CHRONIC EFFECTS and CARCINOGENICITY <br /> Contains benzene, a regulated human carcinogen. Benzene has the potential to cause anemia and other <br /> blood diseases, including leukemia, after repeated and prolonged exposure. Exposure to light <br /> hydrocarbons in the same boiling range as this product has been associated in animal studies with <br /> systemic toxicity. See also Section 11 -Toxicological Information. <br /> MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE <br /> Irritation from skin exposure may aggravate existing open wounds, skin disorders, and dermatitis (rash). <br /> Chronic respiratory disease, liver or kidney dysfunction, or pre-existing central nervous system disorders <br /> may be aggravated by exposure. <br /> 4. FIRST AID MEASURES <br /> EYES <br /> In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 min. Hold <br /> eyelids open to ensure adequate flushing. Seek medical attention. <br /> SKIN <br /> Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterless <br /> hand cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops. <br /> INGESTION <br /> Revision Date: 09/25/2007 Page 2 of 9 <br />
