ADDITIONAL TORICOLO A; IV <br /> The data above is obtained from studies sponsored by the American ' ? <br /> Petroleum Institute (API). <br /> 12. -ADDITIONAL HMTH DATA <br /> ADDITIONAL TH DATA CO s <br /> This product contains a mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons called middle <br /> distillates (which means they boil between approximately 35OF and 700F) . <br /> Because of this broad description, many products are considered middle <br /> distillates yet they are produced by a variety of different petroleum <br /> refining processes. Toxicology data developed on some middle distillates <br /> found that they caused positive responses in some mutagenicity tests and <br /> caused skin cancer when repeatedly applied to mice over their lifetime. <br /> This product may contain some middle distillates found to cause those <br /> adverse effects. <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 shoving 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 /> �eeee•**:ire:Dewe**e*ee****e*e*e:ee�r*e****we*,.:exx**,r*****,te*:**e****,�*** <br /> The above information is based on the data of which we are aware and is <br /> believed to be correct as of the date hereof.
