______________________________________________________________________
************************* EMERGENCY OVERVIEW *************************
Pale yellow liquid with petroleum odor.
- FLAMMABLE
- HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED - CAN
ENTER LUNGS AND
CAUSE DAMAGE
- CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION
- POSSIBLE CANCER HAZARD - MAY
CAUSE CANCER BASED ON
ANIMAL DATA
**********************************************************************
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYE:
Not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation.
SKIN:
Contact with the skin causes irritation. Not expected to be harmful to
internal organs if absorbed through the skin.
INGESTION:
Because of its low viscosity, this material can directly enter the lungs,
if swallowed, or if subsequently vomited. Once in the lungs it is very
difficult to remove and can cause severe injury or death.
INHALATION:
Excessive or prolonged breathing of this material may cause central
nervous system effects. Mists of this material may cause respiratory
irritation.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
Skin irritation: may include pain, reddening, swelling, and blistering.
Central nervous system effects may include headache, dizziness, nausea,
vomiting, weakness, loss of coordination, blurred vision, drowsiness,
confusion, or disorientation. At extreme exposures, central nervous
system effects may include respiratory depression, tremors or convulsions,
loss of consciousness, coma or death. Respiratory irritation: may include
coughing and difficulty breathing.
CARCINOGENICITY:
This product contains a mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons called middle
distillates (which means they boil between approximately 350F and 700F).
Because of this broad description, many products are considered middle
distillates yet they are produced by a variety of different petroleum
refining processes. Toxicology data developed on some middle distillates
found that they caused positive responses in some mutagenicity tests and
caused skin cancer when repeatedly applied to mice over their lifetime.
This product may contain some middle distillates found to cause those
adverse effects.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
______________________________________________________________________
EYE:
No specific first aid measures are required because this material is not
expected to cause eye irritation. As a precaution remove contact lenses,
if worn, and flush eyes with water.
SKIN:
Wash skin immediately with soap and water and remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. Discard
contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse.
INGESTION:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give the person a glass of water or
milk to drink and get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION:
Move the exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention if symptoms continue.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:
Ingestion of this product or subsequent vomiting may result in aspiration
of light hydrocarbon liquid, which may cause pneumonitis.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
______________________________________________________________________
This material presents a fire hazard. Liquid quickly evaporates and forms
vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive violence.
Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such
as pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches.
Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 15F.
AVIATION FUEL SHOULD BE FILTERED DURING TRANSFER INTO FUEL TANKS.
Key operations which have the potential of generating a flammable
atmosphere and/or static include tank and container filling, splash
filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering,
mixing/agitation, and vacuum truck operations. To minimize the hazard of
static electricity during these operations, bonding and grounding may be
necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. For more
information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, "Flammable and
Combustible Liquids", National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 77,
"Recommended Practice on Static Electricity", and/or the American
Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, "Protection Against
Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lighting, and Stray Currents".
WARNING! Not for use as portable heater or appliance fuel. Toxic fumes
may accumulate and cause death.
Do not use pressure to empty drum or drum may rupture with explosive
force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or
vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static
electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause
injury or death. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly
bunged, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner, or properly
disposed of.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
______________________________________________________________________
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
If user operations generate airborne material, use process enclosures,
local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
exposure.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
No special eye protection is normally required. Where splashing is
possible, wear safety glasses with side shields as a good safety practice.
SKIN PROTECTION:
No special protective clothing is normally required. Where splashing is
possible, select protective clothing depending on operations conducted,
physical requirements and other substances. Suggested materials for
protective gloves include:
Alcohol (or PVA - Note: Avoid contact with water. PVA deteriorates in
water)>
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
No special respiratory protection is normally required. If user
operations generate airborne material, wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved
respirator. Use the following element(s) for air purifying respirators:
Organic Vapor. Use a positive pressure, air-supplying respirator if there
is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or
other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.

The data above is obtained from studies sponsored by the American
Petroleum Institute.
ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION:
This product contains kerosene. CONCAWE (product dossier 94/106) has
summarized current health, safety and environmental data available for a
number of kerosenes (typically straight-run kerosene, CAS 8008-20-6, or
hydrodesulfurized kerosene, CAS 64742-81-0). Following acute exposure to
kerosene, signs observed in rats and rabbits were of a low order of
toxicity: central nervous system depression occurred following oral
exposure, skin irritation (ranging from slight to severe irritation)
occurred with dermal exposure, and respiratory tract irritation occurred
with inhalation exposure. None of the kerosenes tested produced more than
slight eye irritation and none were skin sensitizers. However,
intratracheal administration or artificial aspiration of small volumes
(0.1 to 0.2 ml) of kerosene into the lungs of rats, chickens and primates
resulted in lung damage and/or death. Chronic (3 to 24 months) mouse
dermal toxicity studies of kerosenes and jet fuels produced mild to
moderate skin irritation, while long-term (2+ years) studies showed
moderate to severe skin damage as well as an increased incidence of tumors
after long latency periods (probably due to a secondary mechanism related
to skin irritancy). In a study in which rats, mice, rabbits and cats were
exposed to kerosene aerosol concentrations in the range 0.05 to 120 mg/l
for up to four weeks, reductions in respiratory rate, pulmonary
hyperaemia, leucocytosis, monocytosis and decreased erythrocyte
sedimentation rate were observed, and histological examination revealed
inflammatory changes in the respiratory tract (tracheitis, bronchitis and
pneumonia).
Hydrodesulfurized kerosene was tested by the Petroleum Product Stewardship
Council in a OECD Guideline 421 Reproductive/Developmental Toxicity Study.
The kerosene sample was diluted to 494 (60%), 330 (40%), and 165 (20%)
mg/kg/day in food grade mineral oil and applied daily during pre-mating
and mating to day 19 of gestation. There was no apparent maternal,
reproductive, or developmental toxicity at any dose. Males treated for
eight weeks had increased relative kidney weights in the high dose group
but no microscopic changes in testes or epididymides. No gross anomalies
were observed in the pups.
