TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION <br /> EYE EFFECTS: <br /> Minimal effects clearing in less than 24 hours. <br /> SKIN EFFECTS: <br /> Moderate irritation at 72 hours. (Moderate erythema) . <br /> ACUTE ORAL EFFECTS: <br /> The oral LD50 in rats is > 5 ml/kg. <br /> ACUTE INHALATION EFFECTS: <br /> The 4-hour inhalation LC50 in rats is greater than 5 mg/1. <br /> ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION: <br /> The data above is obtained from studies sponsored by the American <br /> Petroleum Institute (API) . <br /> Whole diesel engine exhaust was reviewed by the International Agency for <br /> Research on Cancer (IARC) in their Monograph 46 (1989) . Evidence for <br /> causing cancer was considered sufficient in animals and limited in humans. <br /> IARC placed diesel exhaust in category 2A, considering it probably <br /> carcinogenic to humans. <br /> The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has <br /> recommended that whole diesel exhaust be regarded as potentially causing <br /> cancer. This recommendation was based on test results showing increased <br /> lung cancer in laboratory animals exposed to whole diesel exhaust. The <br /> excess risk of cancer for people exposed to diesel exhaust has not been <br /> determined as studies on exposed workers have been inconclusive. It is <br /> recommended that exposure to diesel exhaust be minimized to reduce the <br /> potential cancer risk. <br /> 12.
