Gasoline <br /> Gasoline has an appearance of a clear, aromatic, volatile liquid, and is a mixture of <br /> aliphatic hydrocarbons. The flash point is listed at -50 degrees Fahrenheit, and has an <br /> LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) of approximately 1.3 percent. <br /> The TLV for gasoline is listed as 300 parts per million (ppm) in air. <br /> Benzene <br /> Benzene is a common constituent of gasoline and other petroleum product materials. It <br /> is a clear, colorless liquid,with a flash point listed at.12 degrees Fahrenheit. <br /> The currently established TLV for Benzene is 10 ppm in air. However, the American <br /> Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH) has recommended a TLV of 1 ppm <br /> be adopted. <br /> Toluene <br /> This material is a flammable, colorless liquid, with a benzol-like odor. The flash point <br /> is'listed at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The currently established TLV is 100 ppm in air. <br /> Ethylbenzene <br /> Ethylbenzene is a flammable, colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. The flash point is <br /> 59 degrees Fahrenheit, and the currently established TLV is 100 ppm in air. <br /> Xylene Compounds <br /> These materials area clear liquids with a flash point of 100 degrees Fahrenheit The <br /> TLV is currently established at 100 ppm in air. Xylene compounds are currently under <br /> study as possible carcinogens. <br /> It is not anticipated that the potential levels of exposure will reach personal exposure <br /> limit (PEL) or threshold limit value (TLV) limits, but this is based solely on limited <br /> 3104001/SSPDRILL 4 October 7, 1993 <br />
