<br />Safety Data Sheet <br />Material Name: Gasoline All Grades SDS No. 9950 <br /> <br />____________________________________________________________  <br />Page 9 of 16 Revision Date 8/30/12 <br />  <br />IARC has determined that gasoline and gasoline exhaust are possibly carcinogenic in humans. Inhalation <br />exposure to completely vaporized unleaded gasoline caused kidney cancers in male rats and liver tumors in <br />female mice. The U.S. EPA has determined that the male kidney tumors are species-specific and are irrelevant <br />for human health risk assessment. The significance of the tumors seen in female mice is not known. Exposure to <br />light hydrocarbons in the same boiling range as this product has been associated in animal studies with effects to <br />the central and peripheral nervous systems, liver, and kidneys. The significance of these animal models to predict <br />similar human response to gasoline is uncertain. <br /> <br />This product contains benzene. Human health studies indicate that prolonged and/or repeated overexposure to <br />benzene may cause damage to the blood-forming system (particularly bone marrow), and serious blood disorders <br />such as aplastic anemia and leukemia. Benzene is listed as a human carcinogen by the NTP, IARC, OSHA and <br />ACGIH. <br /> <br />B: Component Carcinogenicity <br />Gasoline, motor fuel (86290-81-5) <br />ACGIH: A3 - Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans <br /> <br />Toluene (108-88-3) <br />ACGIH: A4 - Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen <br />IARC: Monograph 71 [1999]; Monograph 47 [1989] (Group 3 (not classifiable)) <br /> <br />Xylenes (o-, m-, p- isomers) (1330-20-7) <br />ACGIH: A4 - Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen <br />IARC: Monograph 71 [1999]; Monograph 47 [1989] (Group 3 (not classifiable)) <br /> <br />Ethyl alcohol (64-17-5) <br />ACGIH: A3 - Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans <br />IARC: Monograph 100E [in preparation] (in alcoholic beverages); Monograph 96 [2010] (in alcoholic <br />beverages) (Group 1 (carcinogenic to humans)) <br /> <br />Ethylbenzene (100-41-4) <br />ACGIH: A3 - Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans <br />IARC: Monograph 77 [2000] (Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans)) <br /> <br />Benzene (71-43-2) <br />ACGIH: A1 - Confirmed Human Carcinogen <br />OSHA: 5 ppm STEL (Cancer hazard, Flammable, See 29 CFR 1910.1028, 15 min); 0.5 ppm Action <br />Level; 1 ppm TWA <br />NIOSH: potential occupational carcinogen <br />NTP: Known Human Carcinogen (Select Carcinogen) <br />IARC: Monograph 100F [in preparation]; Supplement 7 [1987]; Monograph 29 [1982] (Group 1 <br />(carcinogenic to humans)) <br /> <br />Reproductive Toxicity <br />This product is suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child. <br />Specified Target Organ General Toxicity: Single Exposure <br />This product may cause drowsiness or dizziness.
