msos No, ARCO UNLEADED GASOLINE APPC306 Nev.beW 05'09i1994 Special For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective { Firefighting equipment. This may include self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against the hazardous effects at I Procedures combustion products and oxygen deticienciss. If tirefighterS cannot work upwind to the fire, respiratory i protective equipment must be wom. Cool tanks and containers exposed to fire with water. l 5 Health Hazards Summary of Liquid, mist or vapors can cause eye. skin and respiratory tract irritation and CNS depression. I Scuta Hptth Hazards Routes of Exposure Signs and symptoms Primary Route(s) Inhalation Vapors or fumes from this material Can irritate the nose,throat,and lungs,and cause signs ✓ and symptoms of central nervous system depression (dizziness,loss of coordination, coma and death),depending on the concentration and duration of exposure. Eye Contact Eye irritation may result from contact with liquid, mist, andlor vapors. Skin Contact No significant systemic effects are expected under normal use conditions. Companems of this mixture can be absorbed through the skin and may produce central nervous system(CNS) depression or other toxic effects,depending upon the concentration and duration of exposure. Skin irritation may occur upon short-term exposure. Ingestion May cause irritation of the mouth.throat and gastrointestinal tract leading to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. restlessness and central nervous system depression similar to that caused by vapor nhalation. ASPIRATION HAZARD' This material can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and may cause lung inflammation and damage. Summary of Prolonged or repeated skin contaci may produce skin irritation or more serious disorders. May sensitize the Chronic heart to sympathomimetics like epinephrine resulting in irregular heartbeats and possible cardiac arrest_ Hazards and Spada/Hearth A chronic inhalation study with a generic unleaded gasoline formulated by Apt caused kidney damage and Effects kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors in temale mice. The exact reiatfonship between these resurts and possible human affects is not known. Contains benzene.a known human carcinogen. Overexposure to vapors or liquids may cause IeuKemia. aplastic anemia,or other blood disorders or immunotoxicxy. Personnel with pro-existing CNS disease, skin disorders. impaired liver or kidney function or chronic respiratory diseases should avoid exposure. See Sections 5 and 10lor additional information. IL Protective E(qulpment and Other COMMI Measures Itpplratary If airborne concentrations may exceed the Exposure Limits in Section 3, use a NICSH/MSHA-approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge. Protection provided by by air purifying respirators is limited. It exposure levels are not known, or in any conditions where an air purifying respirator may not provide sufficient protection, use a positive air-suopfied respirator. Respirator should comply with OSHA 29CFR1910.134 or equivalent. Eyes Eye protection should be worn_ in the likelihood at splashing or spraying,chemical-type goggles andlor a face shield should be worn. 4 contact lenses are worn,contact Safety departmem for user policy, or an eye specialist for additional precautions.
