C. Pesticides
<br />At the Santa Fe Road site, organochlorine pesticides may be present and a potential contaminant
<br />of the soil. Inhalation and skin contact are primary concern and work practice precautions
<br />should be taken to prevent exposure.
<br />D. Other Potential Chemical Hazards
<br />Unidentified Drums may be present on-site. If drum are uncovered during an excavation, the
<br />area shall be cordon off and the CIWMB Project Manager notified. The area shall be flagged
<br />and excluded from the work zone until the drum can be better characterized. At no time shall. any
<br />site personnel attempt to remove/handle any such item.
<br />Gasoline is a mixture of petroleum -derived chemicals. Benzene, toluene; xylene and
<br />ethylbenzene are the airborne contaminants of most concern. Health hazards associated with
<br />gasoline exposure are mild irritation and effects, on the central nervous system.
<br />Diesel is a fuel oil and a refined petroleum solvent that is mixture of paraffins and aromatics.
<br />Health hazards associated with diesel exposure are mild irritation to the eyes, skin, and throat.
