LFR, Inc. • <br /> It is a severe skin irritant and ingestion of diesel can lead to systemic effects such as <br /> gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, diarrhea, and, in severe cases, drowsiness and <br /> central nervous system depression, progressing to coma and death. Absorption of diesel <br /> fuel can cause hemorrhaging and pulmonary edema, progressing to pneumonitis and <br /> renal involvement. It is combustible when exposed to heat or flame, and can react with <br /> strong oxidizing materials. <br /> • No OSHA PEL or Cal/OSHA PEL is listed for diesel. <br /> • No TLV is currently listed (a value of 100 rug/m' is proposed). <br /> Note: Published exposure limits designate a skin notation indicating that dermal <br /> contact can contribute to the overall exposure. <br /> WARNING: The exhaust from this chemical is known to the State of California to <br /> cause cancer. <br /> ETHYLBENZENE <br /> Ethylbenzene is a clear, colorless liquid. It is mildly toxic by inhalation and skin <br /> contact. Inhalation can cause eye, sleep, and pulmonary changes. It is an eye and skin <br /> irritant at levels as low as 0.1% (1,000 ppm) of the vapor in air. At higher <br /> concentrations, it is extremely irritating at first, then can cause dizziness, irritation of <br /> the nose and throat, and a sense of constriction in the chest. Exposure to high <br /> concentrations of ethylbenzene vapor may result in irritation of the skin and mucous <br /> membranes, dizziness, irritation of the nose and throat, and a sense of constriction of <br /> the chest. <br /> • The OSHA PEL is listed as 100 ppm. <br /> • The Cal/OSHA PEL is listed as 100 ppm. <br /> The TLV is listed as 100 ppm. <br /> GASOLINE <br /> Gasoline is produced from the light distillates during petroleum fractionation. Its major <br /> components include paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, aromatics, and recently ethanol. <br /> Gasoline also contains various functional additives as required for different uses, such <br /> as antiknock fluids, antioxidants, metal deactivators, corrosion inhibitors, anti-icing <br /> agents, preignition preventers, upper-cylinder lubricants, dyes, and decolorizers. Lead <br /> additives in particular were widely used in gasoline until the introduction of vehicle <br /> catalytic converters. <br /> Mild cases of gasoline ingestion can cause inebriation, vomiting, vertigo, drowsiness, <br /> confusion, and fever.
