<br /> No.467 Automotive Gasoline,Lead-free 9/91
<br /> Section 6. Health Hazard Data
<br /> Carcloogenlclty:In 1990 reports,the IARC list gasoline as a possible human caseinogen(Group 2B).Although the IARC has assigned an overall
<br /> evaluation to gasoline,it has m
<br /> not assigned an overall evaluation to sPecific substances within this group(inadequate human evidence).
<br /> Summary of Risks:Gasoline vapors arc considered moderately poisonous.Vapor inhalation can cause central nervous system(CNS)depression
<br /> and mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritation Brief inhalations of high concentrations can rouse a fatal pulmonary edema.Reported
<br /> responses to gasoline vapor concentrations are:160 to 270 ppm causrs rye and throat irritation in several hours;500 to 900 PQm causes cye,nose,
<br /> and throat imtation,and dimness in 1 hr,and 2000 ppm produces mild anesthesia at 30 msa Hi concentrations are intounting in 4 to 10
<br /> m'umter.If large area of stat m exposed to gasoline,toxic amounts may be absorbed. or prolonged skit expose causes dem ilius.
<br /> Certain i vdualu may develop hyperserusitivrty.Ingestion can cause CNS depression. aspuration after ingestion can curse severe
<br /> pnasmonitis.In adults,mgestitm of 20 to 50 g gasoline may produce severe symptoms of Poisoning.
<br /> Medical Conditions Aggravated by Lon g•Term Exposure:None reported.
<br /> Skin ry
<br /> Target Organs:Skie,respiratory and central nervous systems.
<br /> Primary 6otry Routes: Inhalation,ingestion,skin conUCL
<br /> Acute Erects: Acute inhalation produces intense nose,throat,and lung irritation headaches;blurred vision conjunctividr, flushing of the face;
<br /> mental confusion;staggering gait;slurred speech,and unconsciousness,sometimes with convulsions.Ingestion causes inebriation(drunkenness).
<br /> vomiting.dizziness.fever,drowsiness,contusion,and cyanosis(a blue to dark purplish coloration of skin and mucous membrane caused by lack
<br /> of oxygen).Aspiration Gallres choking,cough.shortness of breath-innereased rate of respiration,excessively rapid hearibeaL.fever,bronchitis,errs
<br /> pnwmonins-Other aymptonns following acute exposure include acute hemorrhage of the pancreas,fatty degeneration of the liver and kidneys,
<br /> and passive congestion of splen. we msornuaia.a�unusual�,s{rivi esia of the disc!
<br /> Chroole Effects:Chronic inhalation results m to loss. iglu kiss,• h(hYP� )
<br /> extremities followed by motor weakness,muscular degeneration.and dmunshed tendon reflexes and coordinstion.Reputed skin exposure can
<br /> .cause blistering.drying, and lesions.
<br /> FIRST AID
<br /> Eyes:Genily lift the eyelids and flush irnmediaely and continuously with flooding amounts of water anal transported to an emergency medial
<br /> facility.Consult a physician immediately.
<br /> Skin:Quickly remove conuminated clothing.Raise with flooding amounts of water for a least 15 min For reddened or blistered skin consult a
<br /> ysin
<br /> an.%Yash affected oj with ap and water.
<br /> Inhalation:Remove exposed person to fresh air and support breathing as needed
<br /> Ingestion:Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.If ingested.do nor induce vomiting due to aspiration hazard.
<br /> Give conscious victim a mixture of 2 tablespoons of activated charcoal mixed in 8 ox of water to drink.Consult a physician immediately.
<br /> After first aid,get appropriate In-plant,paramedic,or community medical support
<br /> Suction 7,. Spill, Leak,and Disposal Procedures
<br /> SpU]/L;ak.Notify safety personnel,evacuee all unnecessary Personnel,remove heat tad t-guttion sources,and provide maximum explosion-Pouf
<br /> ventilation.Cleanup Personnel should protect against vapor inhalation and liquid contact.Use nor>sparking tools.Tike up small spills with sand a
<br /> other nonmmbusublc adsorbent Dike storage areas to control leaks and spills.Follow applicable OSHA regulations(29 CFR 1910.120).
<br /> Aquatic Toxklty:Bluegill.freshwater,LC 8 pprii hr.
<br /> Disposal:Contact your supplier or a licensga contractor for detailed recommendations.Follow applicable FcderaL state,and local regulations.

<br /> $ection8. SpecialProtection'Data
<br /> Goggles:Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles,pa OSHA eye-and fawprotzcucrn regulations(29 CFR 1910.133).Since
<br /> contact lens use in industry is controversial,establish your own policy.
<br /> Respirator,seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use.Follow OSHA respirator regulations(19 CFR 1910.134)and,if
<br /> necessary,wear a NIOSH-approved respirator.There are no specific NIOSH recommendations.However,for vapor concentrations not immedi-
<br /> ately dangerous to life or health use chemical cartridge resp-veer equipped with organic vapor catridgds),or,a supplied-air respirator.For
<br /> emagmcy or nonroutine operations(cleaning spills,m=m vessels,or storage tanks),weer an SCBA.WWanwug!Av-purifying respvawr do raw
<br /> protect wo kern in oxygen.deficient atmospheres.
<br /> Other: Wear impervious gloves,boots,aprons.and gauntlets to prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact.Materials such as neoprene or
<br /> polyvinyl alcohol provide excellent/good resistance for protective clothing.Note: Resistance of specific materials can vary from product to
<br /> pproduct
<br /> Milatlon: Provide general and local explosion-proof exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below the OSHA PEIs
<br /> (Sec.2).Local exhaust ventilation is preferred since it prevents cornumiru.t dispersim into the work au by controlling it at its sotace.QOst
<br /> Safety Stations:Make available in the work arca emergency eyewash stations,serf�ty/gnickdrench showers,and washing facilities.
<br /> Contaminated Equipment:Remove this material from your sloes and egmp hent Iamda'contaminated clothing before wruing.
<br /> Comments:Never tat drink,cr smoke m work areas.Practice good personal hygiene after using this materiaL especially before eating,drinlang
<br /> smoking,using the toilet,or applying cosmetics. -
<br /> Section 9. Special Precautions and Comments
<br /> Storage Requirements:Store in closed containers in a cool,dry,well-ventilated area away from heat and igninion sources and strong oxidizug
<br /> agents.Protect containers from physical damage.Avoid direct sunlight_Storage must meet requirements of OSHA Class IB liquid.Outside or
<br /> detached storage preferred.
<br /> Engineering Controls:Avoid vapor inhalation and skin or eye comact.Consider a respiratory protection program that includes regular training.
<br /> maintenance,inspection.and evaluation.Indoor use of this material requires explosion-proof exhaust ventilation to remove vapors.Only use
<br /> gasoline as a fuel source due to its volatility and flammable/explosive name.Practice good personal hygiene and housekeeping procedures.Wea:
<br /> clean work clothing daily.
