328 <br /> y� <br /> Lr FUEL OIL NO <br /> 1 #1993 > . ? <br /> Combustible Liquid <br /> POTENTIAL HAZARDS <br />' GENERAL HAZARDS <br /> Threshold Odor Concentration:0.11 ppm <br /> Unusual Hazards.None <br /> Short Term Exposure i imitalSTELk Unavailable <br /> Time Weighted AverageMV--TWA):Unavailable <br /> Conditions to Avoid. Heat, fire, and sparks; contact with incompatible materials; runoff to sewers or water bodies; <br /> inhalation, ingestion, or direct physical contact. <br /> HEALTH HAZARDS <br /> Public Health Hazards:Health hazards are generally low unless the product is ingested in significant quantities. <br /> Nevertheless, all major exposures should be avoided. <br />' Hazards of Skin or Eye Contact;Prolonged or repeated skin contact with fuel oils may cause drying and cracking of <br /> the skin due to the defatting action of these products,as well as the possibility of blisters. Contact with the eyes <br /> should result in little or no injury in most cases. <br /> Hazards of Inhalation:Prolonged exposure to high vapor concentrations in air may cause headache, slight giddiness, <br /> and possibly irritation of the eyes, nose,and.iungs. Such concentrations are generally unlikely outdoors, however, <br /> except in the immediate vicinity of the spilled product. <br /> Hazards of Ingestion:Ingestion may cause nausea,-vomiting,cramping, and passible central nervous system <br />' depression resulting in symptoms ranging from headache to anesthesia,coma, and death.Aspiration into the lungs <br /> pg <br /> vomiting may result in coughing,gagging.difficult breathing, substernal distress,rapidly developing <br /> nary edema, and delayed brochopneumonia and pneumonitis with possibly severe consequences. <br /> FIRE HAZARDS _ <br /> Lower Flammable Limit: 1.3% (for fuel oil no. 20 <br /> Upper Flammable Limit 8.0% (for fuel oil no. 2-D) <br /> Behavior in Fire:Combustible liquid. Will burn but may be difcuit to ignite unless' warmed. There is some limited possibility that containers may rupture violently in fire. <br /> Hazardous Combustion Products Not well-defined,may include toxic constituents. <br /> EXPLOSION HAZARDS <br />' Lower Explosive Limit;Unavailable <br /> Upper Explosive Limit Unavailable <br /> Explosiveness:Explosions may result if vapors of heated liquid are ignited in a confined area. There is some limited <br /> possibility that containers may rupture violently in fire, ' <br />' PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT <br /> Protective Clothing Required•Equipment should prevent repeated or prolonged akin contact and any reasonable <br /> probability of eye contact with the spilled product. This may include rubber boots,gloves, face shields, splash-proof <br /> safety goggles, and other impervious and resistant clothing. Compatible materials may include <br /> rile <br /> rubber, nitrile rubber/polyvwyl chloride,polyethylene,polyurethane,polyvinyl alcohol, Viton, and nitrile, <br /> le,b tadieae <br /> rubber. <br /> Resbpiratory Pr'+otectiort:For unknown concentrations,fire fighting,or high conoantradma,a self-contained <br /> ng apparatus(SCBA)with fall facepiece(or the equivalent). <br /> s <br />
