Potential Health Effects From Overexposure

Acute Effects

Eyes:         Sight to moderate eye irritation.

Skin:        Moderately irritating; causes redness, drying of skin.

Inhalation:   Will cause narcosis and/or chemical pneumonitis.

High concentrations of hydrogen sulfide can cause

headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and/or death.

Ingestion:        Extremely irritating to throat and stomach. Causes excitation,        loss of consciousness, convulsion, cyanosis, congestion and capillary hemorrhaging of the lung and internal organs.

Chronic Effects

Skin irritation. The long-term, repeated application of crude to the skin of laboratory mice (without washing between applications) resulted in a statistically significant increase in the incidence of skin tumors. Crude oil contains benzene, which can cause degeneration in blood forming organs leading to anemia which may further degrade to leukemia.

Additional Medical and Toxicological Information

May aggravate pre-existing dermatitis. May cause blood-forming disorders, or lead to kidney or liver dysfunction. Contact with full strength or dilute formulations of this product or exposure above and below exposure limits may aggravate pre-existing dermatitis or respiratory disorders in certain individuals. This product contains benzene, which can cause degeneration in blood forming organs leading to anemia which may further degrade to leukemia.

  1. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, including under the eyelids. Get medical attention.

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas

with soap and water.        If irritation persists, get medical attention.

Inhalation:

Remove to fresh air.        If breathing has

stopped,

apply        artificial        respiration.        Get

medical

Ingestion:

attention.

Do not induce vomiting.        If spontaneous

vomiting

occurs hold the victim’s head lower than their hips

to prevent aspiration.

  1. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point:        <100oF

Flammable Limits in Air, % by Volume:

Lower: 1%

Upper: 15%

Autoignition Temperature:        Liquid: 450oF        Vapor: 800-1000oF

Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide.

NFPA Hazard Ratings (crude petroleum):

Health: 1        Flammability: 3        Reactivity: 0

General

Hazard:

Flowing

crude

oil

can

be

ignited

by

self-generated

static

electricity; containers should be bonded and grounded. Runoff to

sewer may create fire or explosion hazard well downstream from the

source.

Fire Fighting Instructions:

Use a smothering technique for extinguishing fire of this flammable liquid. Do not use a forced water stream directly on crude oil fires as well this will scatter the fire. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.

  1. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE

Remove source of heat or ignition including internal combustion engines and power tools. Clean up spill but do not flush to sewer or surface water. Ventilate area and avoid breathing vapors or mists.

  1. HANDLING & STORAGE

Store in tightly closed containers in a dry cool place, away from sources of heat or ignition. Ground and bond all transfer and storage equipment to prevent static sparks and equip with self- closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs and flame arrestors. Empty containers may contain residue (liquid/or vapor) and can 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.

  1. EXPOSURE CONTROL, PERSONAL PROTECTION

Eye Protection:        Remove contact lenses and wear chemical safety

glasses or goggles where contact with liquid

or mist may occur.

Skin Protection:        Wear insulating gloves and protective clothing

when contact with skin may occur.        Wash with

soap        and        water        before        eating,        drinking        or

smoking.        Launder contaminated clothing before

reuse.

Inhalation:        CRUDE OIL MAY CONTAIN HYDROGEN SULFIDE.        NIOSH

approved respiratory protection should be used

when        handling        crude        of        high        or        unknown

hydrogen        sulfide        content        and        to        reduce

airborne        concentrations        to        allowable

occupational exposure levels.

Ventilation:        Provide        adequate        general        and        local

ventilation: (1) to maintain airborne chemical

concentrations        below        applicable        exposure

limits,        (2)        to        prevent        accumulation        of

flammable vapors and formation of explosive

atmospheres, and (3) to prevent formation of

oxygen deficient atmospheres, especially in

confined spaces.        [Note:        this product may

release        gases        or        vapors        that        can        displace

oxygen in enclosed areas.]
