P280 - Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection
P301 + P310 - IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician
P331 - Do NOT induce vomiting
Eye Contact: If irritation or redness develops from exposure, flush eyes with clean water. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing, and flush affected area(s) with large amounts of
water. If skin surface is damaged, apply a clean dressing and seek medical attention. If skin
surface is not damaged, cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing with mild soap and
water or a waterless hand cleaner. If irritation or redness develops, seek medical attention.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. If product is injected into or under the skin, or
into any part of the body, regardless of the appearance of the wound or its size, a physician
should evaluate the individual immediately. (See Note to Physician)
Inhalation: If respiratory symptoms or other symptoms of exposure develop, move victim away from
source of exposure and into fresh air in a position comfortable for breathing. If symptoms
persist, seek immediate medical attention. If victim is not breathing, clear airway and
immediately begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties develop, qualified personnel
should administer oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth because this material can
enter the lungs and cause severe lung damage. If victim is drowsy or unconscious and vomiting,
place on the left side with the head down. If possible, do not leave victim unattended and
observe closely for adequacy of breathing. Seek medical attention.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
While significant vapour concentrations are not likely, high concentrations can cause minor respiratory
irritation, headache, and drowsiness, and dizziness, loss of coordination, disorientation and fatigue.
Ingestion can cause irritation of the digestive tract, nausea, diarrhoea, and vomiting. Prolonged or
repeated contact may dry skin and cause irritation.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to Physician: When using high-pressure equipment, injection of product under the skin can occur. In this
case, the casualty should be sent immediately to the hospital. Do not wait for symptoms
to develop. High-pressure hydrocarbon injection injuries may produce substantial
necrosis of underlying tissue despite an innocuous appearing external wound. These
injuries often require a specialist should evaluate extensive emergency surgical
debridement and all injuries in order to assess the extent of injury. Early surgical
treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of
injury.
Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam is recommended. Water spray is recommended to cool or protect
exposed materials or structures. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon
dioxide in confined spaces. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as
water destroys the foam. Water may be ineffective for extinguishment, unless used under favourable
conditions by experienced fire fighters.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Flammable This material can be ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or
other sources of ignition (e.g., static electricity, pilot lights, mechanical/electrical equipment, and
electronic devices such as cell phones, computers, calculators, and pagers which have not been certified
as intrinsically safe) Vapours may travel considerable distances to a source of ignition where they can
ignite, flash back, or explode. May create vapour/air explosion hazard indoors, in confined spaces,
outdoors, or in sewers. This product will float and can be reignited on surface water. Vapours are heavier
than air and can accumulate in low areas. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of
a fire.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Combustion may yield smoke, carbon monoxide, and other products of
incomplete combustion. Oxides of nitrogen and sulphur may also be formed.
For fires beyond the initial stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard area should wear
protective clothing. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, a
self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective
equipment as conditions warrant (see Section 8). Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary
and unprotected personnel. Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Move undamaged containers from
immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing
vapours and to protect personnel. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling purposes.
Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done safely.
See Section 9 for Flammable Properties including Flash Point and Flammable (Explosive) Limits
Flammable Spillages of liquid product will create a fire hazard and may form an explosive atmosphere.
Keep all sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces away from spill/release if safe to do so. The use of
explosion-proof electrical equipment is recommended. Stay upwind and away from spill/release. Avoid
direct contact with material. For large spillages, notify persons downwind of the spill/release, isolate
immediate hazard area and keep unauthorised personnel out. Wear appropriate protective equipment,
including respiratory protection, as conditions warrant (see Section 8). See Sections 2 and 7 for additional
information on hazards and precautionary measures.

Stop and contain spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers,
storm drains, other unauthorised drainage systems, and natural waterways. Use foam on spills to
minimise vapours Use water sparingly to minimize environmental contamination and reduce disposal
requirements. If spill occurs on water, notify appropriate authorities and advise shipping of any hazard.
Notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. Immediate clean up of any spill is
recommended. Dike far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Absorb spill with inert material such
as sand or vermiculite, and place in suitable container for disposal. If spilled on water remove with
appropriate methods (e.g. skimming, booms or absorbents). In case of soil contamination, remove
contaminated soil for remediation or disposal, in accordance with local regulations.
Recommended measures are based on the most likely spillage scenarios for this material; however, local
conditions and regulations may influence or limit the choice of appropriate actions to be taken.
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and
understood. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No
smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Do not
breathe vapour or mist. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear protective gloves/protective
clothing/eye protection/face protection. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use good personal hygiene
practices and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
Flammable Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. Electrostatic charge may accumulate and
create a hazardous condition when handling or processing this material. To avoid fire or explosion,
dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before
transferring material. The use of explosion-proof electrical equipment is recommended and may be
required (see appropriate fire codes for specific bonding/grounding requirements). Do not enter confined
spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures. Do not wear contaminated
clothing or shoes. May vaporize easily at ambient temperatures. The vapour is heavier than air and may
create an explosive mixture of vapour and air. Beware of accumulation in confined spaces and low-lying
areas. Keep contaminated clothing away from sources of ignition such as sparks or open flames.
For use as a motor fuel only. Do not use as a solvent due to its flammable and potentially toxic properties.
Siphoning by mouth can result in lung aspiration, which can be harmful or fatal. The use of hydrocarbon
fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result in hazardous levels of incomplete combustion
products (e.g. carbon monoxide, oxides of sulphur and nitrogen, benzene and other hydrocarbons)
and/or dangerously low oxygen levels. Diesel engine exhaust contains hazardous combustion products
and has been identified as a cancer hazard. Exposure should be minimized to reduce potential risk. High-
pressure injection of hydrocarbon fuels, hydraulic oils or greases under the skin may have serious
consequences even though no symptoms or injury may be apparent. This can happen accidentally when
using high-pressure equipment such as high-pressure grease guns, fuel injection apparatus or from
pinhole leaks in tubing of high-pressure hydraulic oil equipment.
Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labelled. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-
ventilated areas away from heat, direct sunlight, hot metal surfaces, and all sources of ignition. Store only
in approved containers. Post area "No Smoking or Open Flame." Keep away from any incompatible
material (see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage.
"Empty" containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. They may
explode and cause injury or death. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and
promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an
environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. Before working on or in
tanks, which contain or have contained this material, refer to appropriate guidance pertaining to
cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations. Outdoor or detached storage is
preferred. Indoor storage should meet Country or Committee standards and appropriate fire codes.
Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne
concentrations below the established exposure limits, additional engineering controls may be required.
Eye/Face Protection: The use of eye protection that meets or exceeds EN 166 is recommended to protect
against potential eye contact, irritation, or injury. Depending on conditions of use, close fitting eye
protection and a face shield may be necessary.
Skin/Hand Protection: The use of gloves impervious to the specific material handled that comply with EN
374 is advised to prevent skin contact. Users should check with manufacturers to confirm the
breakthrough performance of their products. Depending on exposure and use conditions, additional
protection may be necessary to prevent skin contact including use of items such as chemical resistant
boots, aprons, arm covers, hoods, coveralls, or encapsulated suits. Suggested protective materials: Nitrile
rubber
Respiratory Protection: Where there is potential for airborne exposure above the exposure limit an
approved air purifying respirator equipped with Type A, organic gases and vapour filters (as specified by
the manufacturer) may be used. A respiratory protection programme that follows recommendations for
the selection, use, care and maintenance of respiratory protective devices in EN 529:2005 should be
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. Air purifying respirators provide
limited protection and cannot be used in atmospheres that exceed the maximum use concentration (as
directed by regulation or the manufacturer's instructions), in oxygen deficient (less than 19.5 percent
oxygen) situations, or under conditions that are immediately dangerous to life and health.
Other Protective Equipment: Eyewash and quick-drench shower facilities should be available in the work
area. Thoroughly clean shoes and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Suggestions provided in this section for exposure control and specific types of protective equipment are
based on readily available information. Users should consult with the specific manufacturer to confirm the
performance of their protective equipment. Specific situations may require consultation with industrial
hygiene, safety, or engineering professionals.

Substance / Mixture
Acute Toxicity Hazard Additional Information LC50/LD50 Data
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes skin irritation. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Respiratory Sensitisation: No information available on the mixture, however none of the components has
been classified for respiratory sensitisation (or is below the concentration threshold for classification).
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Single Exposure): Not expected to cause organ effects from single exposure.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure): May cause damage to organs through prolonged or
repeated exposure. Repeated dermal application of petroleum gas oils for 90 days resulted in decreased liver,
thymus, and spleen weights, and altered bone marrow function. Microscopic alterations included liver
hypertrophy and necrosis, decreased hematopoesis and lymphocyte depletion.
Carcinogenicity: Suspected of causing cancer. Repeated application of residual aromatic extracts to mouse skin
resulted in an increased incidence of skin tumours. They have been identified as a carcinogen by IARC.
Other Comments: Diesel engine exhaust has been classified by the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) and National Toxicology Programme (NTP) as a carcinogen.
Naphthalene
Carcinogenicity: Naphthalene has been evaluated in two-year inhalation studies in both rats and mice.
The US National Toxicology Programme (NTP) concluded that there is clear evidence of carcinogenicity in
male and female rats based on increased incidences of respiratory epithelial adenomas and olfactory
epithelial neuroblastomas of the nose. NTP found some evidence of carcinogenicity in female mice
(alveolar adenomas) and no evidence of carcinogenicity in male mice. Naphthalene has been identified as a
carcinogen by IARC and NTP.
12.1. Toxicity
Experimental studies of gas oils show that acute aquatic toxicity values are typically in the range 2-20
mg/L. These values are consistent with the predicted aquatic toxicity of these substances based on their
hydrocarbon compositions. They should be regarded as toxic to aquatic organisms, with the potential to
cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
12.2. Persistence and degradability
Gas oils are complex combinations of individual hydrocarbon species. Based on the known or expected
properties of individual constituents, category members are not predicted to be readily biodegradable.
Some hydrocarbon constituents of gas oils are predicted to meet the criteria for persistence; on the other
hand, microorganisms under aerobic conditions can easily degrade some components.
Persistence per IOPC Fund definition: Non-Persistent
12.3. Bioaccumulative potential
Gas oil components have measured or calculated Log Kow values in the range of 3.9 to 6, which indicates
a high potential to bioaccumulate. Lower molecular weight compounds are readily metabolized and the
actual bioaccumulation potential of higher molecular weight compounds is limited by the low water
solubility and large molecular size.
12.4. Mobility in soil
Releases to water will result in a hydrocarbon film floating and spreading on the surface. For the lighter
components, volatilisation is an important loss process and reduces the hazard to aquatic organisms. In
air, the hydrocarbon vapours react readily with hydroxyl radicals with half-lives of less than one day.
Photoxidation on the water surface is also a significant loss process particularly for polycyclic aromatic
compounds. In water, the majority of components will be adsorbed on sediment. Adsorption is the most
predominant physical process on release to soil. Adsorbed hydrocarbons will slowly degrade in both
water and soil.
