Product Name : Gasoline with Ethanol Page 10 of 15 <br /> Product Code : Multiple <br /> Evaporation Rate (nBuAc-1) : >1 <br /> Bulk Density: 6. 17 lbs/gal <br /> 10 . STABILITY AND REACTIVITY <br /> Chemical Stability: Stable under normal conditions of storage and <br /> handling . Extremely flammable liquid and vapor_ Vapor can <br /> cause flash fire . <br /> Conditions To Avoid: Avoid all possible sources of ignition (see <br /> Sections 5 and 7) . <br /> Incompatible Materials : Contact with strong oxidizing agents such <br /> as chlorine, dichromates, or permanganates can cause fire or <br /> explosion. <br /> Hazardous Decomposition Products: The use of hydrocarbon fuel in <br /> an area without adequate ventilation may result in hazardous <br /> levels of combustion products (e. g. , oxides of carbon, sulfur <br /> and nitrogen, benzene and other hydrocarbons) and/or dangerously <br /> low oxygen levels _ See Section 11 for additional information on <br /> hazards of engine exhaust, if any. <br /> Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. <br /> 11 . TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION <br /> Gasoline (CAS# None) <br /> Carcinogenicity: Two year inhalation studies of wholly vaporized <br /> unleaded gasoline produced increased incidences of kidney tumors <br /> in male rats and liver tumors in female mace. Follow-up studies <br /> suggest that occurrence of the kidney tumors may be linked to <br /> alpha-2-u-globulin nephropathy, and most likely unique to the <br /> male rat. Epidemiology data collected from a study of more than <br /> 18, 000 petroleum marketing and distribution workers showed no <br /> increased risk of leukemia, multiple myeloma, or kidney cancer <br /> from gasoline exposure. Unleaded gasoline has been identified <br /> as a possible carcinogen by IARC. <br /> Because solvent extracts of gasoline exhaust particulates caused <br /> skin cancer in laboratory animals, IARC has categorized gasoline <br /> engine exhaust as a possible human cancer hazard. <br /> Target Organ (s) : A two year inhalation study of wholly vaporized <br /> unleaded gasoline produced nephropathy in male rats, <br /> Issue Date : 03/29/99 Status: Final Revised <br /> Revised Sections : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14 <br />
