N E) DIESEL Revision Date: 10/2015 <br /> Chemical stability The material is stable at 70°F, 760 mmHg pressure. <br /> Possibility of hazardous reactions None under normal processing. <br /> Hazardous polymerization Will not occur. <br /> Conditions to avoid Excessive heat, sources of ignition, open flame. <br /> Incompatible materials Strong oxidizing agents. <br /> Hazardous decomposition products None known under normal conditions of use. <br /> 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION <br /> Potential short-term adverse effects from overexposures <br /> Inhalation Harmful if inhaled. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause irritation of the <br /> respiratory system. <br /> Eye contact Causes mild eye irritation. <br /> Skin contact Irritating to skin. Effects may become more serious with repeated or prolonged contact. <br /> Ingestion May be fatal if swallowed or vomited and enters airways. May cause irritation of the mouth, <br /> throat and gastrointestinal tract. <br /> Acute Toxicological data <br /> Name Oral LD50 Dermal LD50 Inhalation LC50 <br /> Fuels,Diesel,C9-18-Alkane Branched and >1 -<5 mg/I(Rat)4 h <br /> Linear <br /> 1159170-26-9 <br /> Alkanes,C10-C20 branched and linear >1 -<5 mg/I(Rat)4 h <br /> 928771-01-1 <br /> No.2 Diesel Fuel >5000 mg/kg(Rat) >2000 mg/kg(Rabbit) >1 -<5 mg/L(Rat)4 h <br /> 68476-34-6 <br /> Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure <br /> MIDDLE DISTILLATES, PETROLEUM: Long-term repeated(lifetime)skin exposure to <br /> similar materials has been reported to result in an increase in skin tumors in laboratory <br /> rodents. The relevance of these findings to humans is not clear at this time. <br /> DIESEL EXHAUST: Chronic inhalation studies of whole diesel engine exhaust in mice and <br /> rats produced a significant increase in lung tumors. Combustion of kerosine and/or diesel <br /> fuels produces gases and particulates which include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, <br /> oxides of nitrogen and/or sulfur and hydrocarbons. Significant exposure to carbon <br /> monoxide vapors decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and may cause <br /> tissue hypoxia via formation of carboxyhemoglobin. <br /> Adverse effects related to the physical chemical and toxicological characteristics <br /> Signs&Symptoms Nausea, vomiting, signs of nervous system depression: headache, drowsiness,dizziness, <br /> loss of coordination, disorientation and fatigue. <br /> Sensitization Not expected to be a skin or respiratory sensitizer. <br /> Mutagenic effects None known. <br /> Carcinoqenicity Cancer desi nations are listed in the table below. <br /> Name ACGIH IARC NTP OSHA <br /> Class) (Class) <br /> )) NEYGENFUEL Page 6of10 <br />
