FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact - In case of overexposure to dusts or fumes, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes occasionally lifting the eye lids. Get medical attention if irritation persists. Thermal burns
should be treated as medical emergencies.
Skin Contact - In case of overexposure to dusts or particulates, wash with soap and plenty of water. Get
medical attention if irritation develops or persists. If thermal burn occurs, flush area with cold water and get
immediate medical attention.
Inhalation - In case of overexposure to dusts or fumes, remove to fresh air. Get immediate medical attention
if symptoms described in this SDS develop.
Ingestion - Not considered an ingestion hazard. However, if excessive amounts of dust or particulates are
swallowed, treat symptomatically and supportively. Get medical attention.
Notes to Physician - Inhalation of metal fume or metal oxides may produce an acute febrile state, with
cough, chills, weakness, and general malaise, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, and remarkable
leukocytosis. Treatment is symptomatic, and condition is self limited in 24-48 hours. Chronic exposure to
dusts may result in pneumoconiosis of mixed type.
5.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (Method) - Not applicable
Flammable Limits (% volume in air) - Not applicable
Auto ignition Temperature - Not applicable
Extinguishing Media - For molten metal, use dry powder or sand. For steel dust use or dry sand, water,
foam, argon or nitrogen.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures - Do not use water on molten metal. Do not use Carbon Dioxide
(CO2). Firefighters should not enter confined spaces without wearing NIOSH/MSHA approved positive
pressure breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full face mask and full protective equipment.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards - Steel products do not present fire or explosion hazards under normal
conditions. Any non-oxidized fine metal particles/ dust generated by grinding, sawing, abrasive blasting, or
individual customer processes may produce materials that the customer should test for combustibility and
other hazards in accordance with applicable regulations. High concentrations of combustible metallic fines in
the air may present an explosion hazard.
6.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Precautions if Material is Spilled or Released - Emergency response is unlikely unless in the form of
combustible dust. Avoid inhalation, eye, or skin contact of dusts by using appropriate precautions outlined
in this SDS (see section 8). Fine turnings and small chips should be swept or vacuumed and placed into
appropriate disposable containers. Keep fine dust or powder away from sources of ignition. Scrap should be
reclaimed for recycling. Prevent materials from entering drains, sewers, or waterways. Specific standards
and regulations may be applicable to materials generated by individual customer processes. As appropriate,
these standards and regulations should be consulted for applicability.
Fire and Explosion Hazards - Some customer processes may generate combustible dust that may require
specific precautions when cleaning spills or releases of dust.
Environmental Precautions - Some grades of steel may contain reportable quantities of alloying elements.
See Section 15 for additional information.
Waste Disposal Methods - Dispose of used or unused product in accordance with applicable Federal, State,
and Local regulations. Please recycle.
7.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Temperatures - Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing - Store away from strong oxidizers. Dusts and/or
powders, alone, or combined with process specific fluids, may form explosive mixtures with air. Applicable
Federal, state and local laws and regulations may require testing dust generated from processing of steel

Carbon and Alloy Steels
products to determine if it represents a fire or explosion hazard and to determine appropriate protection
methods. Avoid breathing dusts or fumes.
8.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Operations with potential for generating high concentrations of airborne particulates or fumes should be
evaluated and controlled as necessary.
Eye Protection - Use safety glasses. Dust resistant safety goggles are recommended under circumstances
where particles could cause mechanical injury such as grinding or cutting. Face shield should be used when
welding or cutting.
Skin - Appropriate protective gloves should be worn as necessary. Good personal hygiene practices should
be followed including cleansing exposed skin several times daily with soap and water, and laundering or dry
cleaning soiled work clothing.
Respiratory Protection - NIOSH/MSHA approved dust/fume/mist respirator should be used to avoid
excessive exposure. See Section 3 for component material information exposure limits.
If such
concentrations are sufficiently high that this respirator is inadequate, or high enough to cause oxygen
deficiency, use a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Follow all applicable
respirator use, fitting, and training standards and regulations.
Ventilation - Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels of dust or fumes below
exposure limits.
Exposure Guidelines - No permissible exposure limits (PEL) or threshold limit values (TLV) exist for steel. See
Section 3 for component materials. Various grades of steel will contain different combinations of these elements.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The primary component of this product is iron. Long-term exposure to iron dusts or fumes can result in a
condition called siderosis which is considered to be a benign pneumoconiosis. Symptoms may include
chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and shortness of breath upon exertion. Penetration of iron particles in the
skin or eye may cause an exogenous or ocular siderosis which may be characterized by a red-brown
Page 5 of 8
Revision Date: 12/23/2014
Carbon and Alloy Steels
pigmentation of the affected area. Ingestion overexposures to iron may affect the gastrointestinal, nervous,
and hematopoietic system and the liver. Iron and steel founding, but not iron or iron oxide, has been listed
as carcinogenic (Group 1) by IARC.
When this product is welded, fumes are generated. Welding fumes may be different in composition from the
original welding product, with the chief component being ordinary oxides of the metal being welded. Chronic
health effects (including cancer) have been associated with the fumes and dusts of individual component
metals (see above), and welding fumes as a general category have been listed by IARC as a carcinogen
(Group 2B). There is also limited evidence that welding fumes may cause adverse reproductive and fetal
effects. Evidence is stronger where welding materials contain known reproductive toxins, e.g., lead, which
may be present in the coating material of this product.
Breathing fumes or dusts of this product may result in metal fume fever, which is an illness produced by
inhaling metal oxides. These oxides are produced by heating various metals including cadmium, zinc,
magnesium, copper, antimony, nickel, cobalt, manganese, tin, lead, beryllium, silver, chromium, aluminum,
selenium, iron, and arsenic. The most common agents involved are zinc and copper.
This product may contain small amounts of manganese. Prolonged exposure to manganese dusts or fumes
is associated with "manganism", a Parkinson-like syndrome characterized by a variety of neurological
symptoms including muscle spasms, gait disturbances, tremors, and psychoses.
This product may contain small amounts of cadmium. Primary target organs for cadmium overexposure are
the lung and the kidney. Because of its cumulative nature, chronic cadmium poisoning can cause serious
disease which takes many years to develop and may continue to progress despite cessation of exposure.
Progression of the disease may not reflect current exposure conditions. It is also capable of causing a painful
osteomalacia called “Itai-Itai” in postmenopausal women, and has caused developmental effects and/or
reproductive effects in male and female animals. Cadmium is a listed carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, and IARC
(Group 1).
This product may contain small amounts of chromium. Prolonged and repeated overexposure to chromium
dusts or fumes may cause skin ulcers, nasal irritation and ulceration, kidney damage and cancer of the
respiratory system. Chromium is skin sensitizer. Cancer is generally attributed to the hexavalent (+6) form
of chromium which is listed as a carcinogen by NTP and IARC (Group 1).
This product may contain small amounts of nickel. Prolonged and repeated contact with nickel may cause
sensitization dermatitis. Inhalation of nickel compounds has caused lung damage as well as sinus, nasal and
lung cancer in laboratory animals. Nickel is a listed carcinogen by NTP and IARC (Group 1).
This product may contain small amounts of vanadium. Adverse effects from dermal, inhalation or parenteral
exposure to various vanadium compounds have been reported. The major target for vanadium pentoxide
toxicity is the respiratory tract. Fumes or dust can cause severe eye and respiratory irritation, and systemic
effects. Chronic bronchitis, green tongue, conjunctivitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, rales, chronic productive cough,
and tightness of the chest have been reported following overexposure. Allergic reactions resulting from skin
and inhalation exposures have also been reported. A statistical association between vanadium air levels and
lung cancer has been suggested, but vanadium currently is not regarded as a human carcinogen.
This product may contain small amounts of lead. Lead can accumulate in the body. Consequently, exposure
to fumes or dust may produce signs of polyneuritis, diminished vision and peripheral neuropathy, such as
tingling and loss of feeling in fingers, arms and legs. Lead is a known reproductive and developmental toxin.
It is also associated with central nervous system disorders, anemia, kidney dysfunction and neurobehavioral
abnormalities. The brain is a major target organ for lead exposure. Elemental lead is listed as an IARC 2B
carcinogen.
The product may contain small amounts of copper. Copper dust and fumes can irritate the eyes, nose and
throat causing coughing, wheezing, nosebleeds, ulcers and metal fume fever. Other effects from repeated
inhalation of copper fumes include a metallic or sweet taste, and discoloration of skin, teeth or hair. Copper
also may cause an allergic skin reaction. Overexposure to copper can affect the liver.

Advice for firefighters
Firefighting instructions
: Evacuate all personnel from the danger area. Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
and protective clothing. Immediately cool containers with water from maximum distance. Stop
flow of gas if safe to do so, while continuing cooling water spray. Remove ignition sources if
safe to do so. Remove containers from area of fire if safe to do so. On-site fire brigades must
comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.156 and applicable standards under 29 CFR 1910 Subpart
L—Fire Protection.
Protection during firefighting
: Compressed gas: asphyxiant. Suffocation hazard by lack of oxygen.
Special protective equipment for fire fighters
: Standard protective clothing and equipment (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) for fire
fighters.
Specific methods
: Use fire control measures appropriate for the surrounding fire. Exposure to fire and heat
radiation may cause gas containers to rupture. Cool endangered containers with water spray jet
from a protected position. Prevent water used in emergency cases from entering sewers and
drainage systems. Stop flow of product if safe to do so. Use water spray or fog to knock down
fire fumes if possible. Continue water spray from protected position until container stays cool.
Other information
: Acetylene containers are provided with pressure relief devices designed to vent contents when
exposed to elevated temperature.

Precautions for safe handling
Precautions for safe handling
: Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No
smoking. Use only non-sparking tools. Use only explosion-proof equipment.
Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Protect cylinders from
physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. While moving cylinder, always keep in place
removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap is intended solely to
protect the valve. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand
truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver,
pry bar) into cap openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an
adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Slowly open the valve. If the
valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve
after each use; keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to
any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container and could cause the
pressure relief device to fail prematurely, venting the container contents. For other precautions
in using this product, see section 16.

Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
: An explosion-proof local exhaust system or a mechanical system is acceptable if it can prevent
oxygen deficiency and keep hazardous fumes and gases below all applicable exposure limits in
the worker's breathing area. During welding, ensure that there is adequate ventilation to keep
worker exposure below applicable limits for fumes, gases, and other by-products of welding.
Do not breathe fumes or gases. Short-term overexposure to fumes may cause dizziness,
nausea, and dryness or irritation of the nose, throat, and eyes, or may cause other similar
discomfort.
Eye protection
: Wear safety glasses with side shields.
Skin and body protection
: As needed for welding, wear hand, head, and body protection to help prevent injury from
radiation and sparks. (See ANSI Z49.1.) At a minimum, this includes welder’s gloves and
protective goggles, and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, and shoulder protection as
well as substantial clothing.
Respiratory protection
: When workplace conditions warrant respirator use, follow a respiratory protection program that
meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, ANSI Z88.2, or MSHA 30 CFR 72.710 (where applicable).
Use an air-supplied or air-purifying cartridge if the action level is exceeded. Ensure that the
respirator has the appropriate protection factor for the exposure level. If cartridge type
respirators are used, the cartridge must be appropriate for the chemical exposure (e.g., an
organic vapor cartridge). For emergencies or instances with unknown exposure levels, use a
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Thermal hazard protection
: Wear cold insulating gloves when transfilling or breaking transfer connections.
Environmental exposure controls
: Refer to local regulations for restriction of emissions to the atmosphere. See section 13 for
specific methods for waste gas treatment.

: Breathing 80 percent or more oxygen at atmospheric pressure for more than a few hours may
cause nasal stuffiness, cough, sore throat, chest pain, and breathing difficulty. Breathing
oxygen at higher pressure increases the likelihood of adverse effects within a shorter time
period. Breathing pure oxygen under pressure may cause lung damage and central nervous
system (CNS) effects, resulting in dizziness, poor coordination, tingling sensation, visual and
hearing disturbances, muscular twitching, unconsciousness, and convulsions. Breathing
oxygen under pressure may cause prolongation of adaptation to darkness and reduced
peripheral vision.

Date of issue: 01/01/1979
Specific methods
Revision date: 06/23/2015
Supersedes: 05/11/2015
: Use fire control measures appropriate for the surrounding fire. Exposure to fire and heat
radiation may cause gas containers to rupture. Cool endangered containers with water spray jet
from a protected position. Prevent water used in emergency cases from entering sewers and
drainage systems.
Stop flow of product if safe to do so.
Use water spray or fog to knock down fire fumes if possible.
Other information
: Heat of fire can build pressure in container and cause it to rupture. Containers are equipped
with a pressure relief device. (Exceptions may exist where authorized by DOT.) No part of the
container should be subjected to a temperature higher than 125°F (52°C). Smoking, flames,
and electric sparks in the presence of enriched oxygen atmospheres are potential explosion
hazards.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1.
Precautions for safe handling
Precautions for safe handling
: Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Protect cylinders from
physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. While moving cylinder, always keep in place
removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap is intended solely to
protect the valve. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand
truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver,
pry bar) into cap openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an
adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Slowly open the valve. If the
valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve
after each use; keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to
any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container and could cause the
pressure relief device to fail prematurely, venting the container contents. For other precautions
in using this product, see section 16.
Safe use of the product
: The suitability of this product as a component in underwater breathing gas mixtures is to
be determined by or under the supervision of personnel experienced in the use of underwater
breathing gas mixtures and familiar with the physiological effects, methods employed,
frequency and duration of use, hazards, side effects, and precautions to be taken.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage conditions
: Store only where temperature will not exceed 125°F (52°C). Post “No Smoking or Open
Flames” signs in storage and use areas. There must be no sources of ignition. Separate
packages and protect against potential fire and/or explosion damage following appropriate
codes and requirements (e.g., NFPA 30, NFPA 55, NFPA 70, and/or NFPA 221 in the U.S.) or
according to requirements determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Always
secure containers upright to keep them from falling or being knocked over. Install valve
protection cap, if provided, firmly in place by hand when the container is not in use. Store full
and empty containers separately. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent storing full
containers for long periods. For other precautions in using this product, see section 16.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING, STORAGE, AND USE: When handling product
under pressure, use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand the pressures to
be encountered. Never work on a pressurized system. Use a back flow preventive device in
the piping. Store and use with adequate ventilation. If a leak occurs, close the container valve
and blow down the system in a safe and environmentally correct manner in compliance with all
international, federal/national, state/provincial, and local laws; then repair the leak. Never place
a container where it may become part of an electrical circuit.

Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
: Avoid oxygen rich (>23.5%) atmospheres. Use a local exhaust system with sufficient flow
velocity to maintain an adequate supply of air in the worker's breathing zone. Mechanical
(general): General exhaust ventilation may be acceptable if it can maintain an adequate supply
of air.
Eye protection
: Wear safety glasses with side shields.
Skin and body protection
: Wear metatarsal shoes and work gloves for cylinder handling, and protective clothing where
needed. Wear appropriate chemical gloves during cylinder changeout or wherever contact with
product is possible. Select per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132, 1910.136, and 1910.138. As needed
for welding, wear hand, head, and body protection to help prevent injury from radiation and
sparks. (See ANSI Z49.1.) At a minimum, this includes welder’s gloves and protective
goggles, and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, and shoulder protection as well as
substantial clothing.
Respiratory protection
: When workplace conditions warrant respirator use, follow a respiratory protection program that
meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, ANSI Z88.2, or MSHA 30 CFR 72.710 (where applicable).
Use an air-supplied or air-purifying cartridge if the action level is exceeded. Ensure that the
respirator has the appropriate protection factor for the exposure level. If cartridge type
respirators are used, the cartridge must be appropriate for the chemical exposure (e.g., an
organic vapor cartridge). For emergencies or instances with unknown exposure levels, use a
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
IMMEDIATE HAZARDS
DANGER
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! OSHA/NFPA Class IB flammable liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open
flame.
Never siphon gas by mouth. Harmful if swallowed. Contains petroleum distillates.
ASPIRATION HAZARD! If swallowed, do not induce vomiting since aspiration into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonia. Obtain prompt medical attention.
Prolonged or repeated liquid contact may cause irritation. High vapor concentrations (greater than 1000
ppm) may cause irritation to eyes and respiratory system and may cause dizziness and other nervous system
effects.
Generally, human exposures to gasoline are considerably lower than levels which have caused adverse health
effects in animal studies or human case studies of gasoline misuse or abuse (such as gasoline sniffing). Adverse
health effects are not expected to occur at exposure levels typically encountered in the use of gasoline as a motor
fuel.
Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Use only with adequate ventilation. Use as a motor fuel only. Do not use as a
cleaning solvent, thinner or for other non-motor fuel use.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS

Handling,
Storage and
Decontamination
Procedures
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Eliminate all potential sources of ignition. Handling equipment and tools should be grounded
to prevent sparking. Contain spill, evacuate non-essential personnel, and safely stop flow.
Blanket spill with foam or use water fog to reduce vapor cloud. On hard surfaces, spilled
material may create a slipping hazard. Equip cleanup crews with proper protective
equipment (as specified in Section 8) and advise of hazards. Clean up by recovering as
much spilled or contaminated materials as possible and placing into closed containers.
Consult with an environmental professional for the federal, state and local cleanup and
reporting requirements for spills and releases.
HANDLING and STORAGE
Avoid exposure to liquid and gas vapors. Odor is not a reliable warning of overexposure.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Keep away from sources of heat, flames, sparks or other ignition sources. Storage and use
areas should be “No Smoking” areas. Containers should be bonded and grounded for
transfers to avoid static sparks.
Outside or detached storage is preferred. Inside storage should be in a standard flammable
liquids storage warehouse, room or cabinet. Separate from oxidizing materials.
Filling Portable Containers (less than 10 gallons) - to minimize static spark hazard:
1. Fill only metal containers or those approved to hold gasoline;
2. Place containers on the ground while dispensing fuel;
3. Keep hose nozzle in contact with the approved container during the entire filling
process.
DO NOT fill any portable container in or on a vehicle.
“Empty” containers retain liquid and vapor residues and can be dangerous. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, drill, grind or expose to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other
sources of ignition containers with ANY residue; they may explode and cause injury or death.
For determining National Electrical Code (NEC) Hazardous (Classified) Location
requirements for electrical installation, consider this material Class 1, Group D.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological
Information
The information found in this section is written for medical, toxicology, occupational health
and safety professionals. This section provides technical information on the toxicity testing
of this or similar materials or its components. If clarification of the technical content is
needed, consult a professional in the areas of expertise listed above.
Inhalation
Toxicity studies on this material resulted in LC50 values greater than 5.0 mg/l indicating a
low potency. There were signs of respiratory tract irritation and central nervous system
depression.
Eye Contact
Minimal to no irritation in animal studies.
Skin Contact
Animal studies resulted in moderate skin irritation following short term or prolonged/repeated
exposure. The acute dermal toxicity tests indicate LD50 values greater than 2.0 g/kg
indicating a low potency. Exposure to sunlight does not increase skin irritation. This
material appears to be non-sensitizing.
Ingestion
The acute oral toxicity tests produced LD50 values greater than 5.0 g/kg indicating a low
potency. There were signs of gastrointestinal tract irritation and central nervous system
depression.
Prolonged/
Repeated
Exposures
Twenty-eight day dermal toxicity studies resulted in moderate skin irritation. In some studies
changes in liver, kidney, testes and whole body weights were noted, but no significant
systemic tissue changes characteristic of disease. Ninety-day dermal toxicity studies with
similar material resulted in moderate skin irritation and not other significant observations or
systemic tissue changes characteristic of disease. Twenty-eight day inhalation toxicity study
similar materials resulted in kidney damage in male rats.
A two-year inhalation study with a generic unleaded gasoline formulated by the American
Petroleum Institute caused kidney damage and kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors
in female mice. These effects are considered specific to these laboratory animals and not
applicable to humans.
Exposure to components of gasoline such as benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene,
trimethylbenzene, and N-hexane has also been shown to affect reproductive capacity and/or
fetal development in laboratory animals.
Studies with laboratory animals (dogs) indicate that exposure to extremely high
concentrations of gasoline (greater than 50,000 ppm) may cause irregular heartbeats and
sudden death. Exposures of laboratory animals to some components of this material at very
high concentrations, well above the recommended exposure limits in Section 2, have
resulted in cardiac sensitization with irregular heartbeats.
Exposure to n-hexane at concentrations considerably higher than the current permissible
exposure limit has reportedly been associated with peripheral neuropathy. Commercial
hexane exposures up to 9000 ppm were not carcinogenic in laboratory animals.
In animal studies and in workers with chronic benzene poisoning, alterations in structure of
chromosomes in bone marrow and white blood cells have been observed.
Additional
Ethanol Toxicity
Information
Exposures to ethanol in gasoline are considerably lower than levels which have caused
adverse health effects. Adverse health effects are not expected to occur at exposure levels
typically encountered in the use of ethanol as a gasoline additive.
Prolonged and repeated exposure to ethanol vapor above 1000 ppm may cause headache,
lack of coordination, sleepiness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Chronic ingestion of
ethanol in the form of alcoholic beverages has resulted in liver, stomach, heart and nervous
system damage as well as cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and liver in
humans. Repeated ingestion of ethanol in the form of alcoholic beverages by pregnant
women has caused miscarriage, premature birth and low birth weight, and birth defects (fetal
alcohol syndrome).
Additional
MTBE Toxicity
Information
Print Date: 05/19/2003
MTBE at very high exposure levels (8000 ppm) did induce developmental toxicity in mice,
but only at levels where there was also maternal toxicity. In rabbits exposed to the same
MTBE levels, there were no indicators of any effects on the offspring, even in the presence
of maternal toxicity. The abnormal findings in the mice (cleft palate, etc.) are wellrecognized effects of stress in the pregnant mouse and have no correlation with
development hazards in humans.
Page 6 of 8
UNLEADED GASOLINE (UNBRANDED)
MSDS No. APPC975 Ver. 1
Chronic toxicity studies have been completed for MTBE. In these studies, B6C3Fl mice and
F344 rats were exposed to 400, 3000, or 8000 ppm MTBE vapors, 6 hrs/day, 5 days/week
for life. Few adverse effects were noted for either rats or mice.
Male and female mice exposed to 8000 ppm MTBE vapors developed a slightly higher
incidence of benign liver tumors during their lifetime. No other adverse effects or increases
in tumor incidences were found.
Male and female rats exposed to high concentrations of MTBE vapors developed an
increasing incidence of chronic progressive kidney damage, an effect typically noted in aging
rats. These effects were most severe in 3000 and 8000 ppm exposure groups and were
accompanied by an increased incidence of kidney tumors (males only). These findings are
consistent with kidney damage associated with accumulation of protein in cells, an effect
which may be unique to the male rat. Benign testicular tumors were numerically increased in
high dose MTBE male rats, but this is an age-related lesion which typically occurs in a very
high proportion of control untreated rats.
MTBE does not appear to be a mutagen.
All of these effects either occur in tissues prone to the development of tumors or may occur
by a mechanism not considered relevant to humans. The significance of these findings for
human health hazards estimation is unclear. Furthermore, IARC has determined that MTBE
is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).

Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Specific hazards arising
from the chemical
: Highly flammable liquid and vapor. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur
and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is
heavier than air and will spread along the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or
confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Fire water contaminated with this
material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway,
sewer or drain.
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing
media
: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO₂,) water spray (fog) or foam. SMALL FIRE:
Steam, CO2, dry chemical or inert gas (e.g., nitrogen). LARGE FIRE: Use foam, water
fog or water spray. Water fog and spray are effective in cooling containers and adjacent
structures. However, water can cause frothing and/or may not extinguish the fire.
Water can be used to cool the external walls of vessels to prevent excessive pressure,
ignition or explosion.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products
: Do not use water jet.
Special protective actions
for fire-fighters
Special protective
equipment for fire-fighters
: Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Section 6. Accidental release measures

sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical
(ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools.
Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. Empty containers retain
product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container. Non equilibrium
conditions may increase the fire hazard associated with this product. Always bond
receiving containers to the fill pipe before and during loading. Always confirm that
receiving container is properly grounded. Bonding and grounding alone may be
inadequate to eliminate fire and explosion hazards. Carefully review operations that
may increase the risks such as tank and container filling, tank cleaning, sampling,
gauging, loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, etc. In addition to bonding and grounding,
efforts to mitigate the hazards may include, but are not limited to, ventilation, inerting
and/or reduction of transfer velocities.
Always keep nozzle in contact with the container throughout the loading process. Do
NOT fill any portable container in or on a vehicle.
Special precautions, such as reduced loading rates and increased monitoring, must be
observed during "switch loading" operations (i.e., loading this material in tanks or
shipping compartments that previously contained a dissimilar product).
: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,
drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures.

: Pentane, all isomers: Studies of pentane isomers in laboratory animals indicate
exposure to extremely high levels (roughly 10 vol.%) may induce cardiac arrhythmias
(irregular heartbeats) which may be serious or fatal.
Toluene: Deliberate inhalation of toluene at high concentrations (e.g., glue sniffing and
solvent abuse) can cause CNS depression, cardiac arrhythmias and death.
Xylenes, mixed isomers: Overexposure to xylene may cause upper respiratory tract
irritation, headache, cyanosis, blood serum changes, CNS damage and narcosis.
Effects may be increased by the use of alcoholic beverages. Evidence of liver and
kidney impairment were reported in workers recovering from a gross over-exposure.
Heptane, all isomers: Heptane is a CNS depressant and narcosis at elevated
concentrations.
Ethanol: Inhalation exposure to ethanol vapor at concentrations above applicable
workplace exposure levels is expected to produce eye and mucus membrane irritation.
Human exposure at concentrations from 1000 to 5000 ppm produced symptoms of
narcosis, stupor and unconsciousness. Subjects exposed to ethanol vapor in
concentrations between 500 and 10,000 ppm experienced coughing and smarting of the
eyes and nose. At 15,000 ppm there was continuous lacrimation and coughing. While
extensive acute and chronic effects can be expected with ethanol consumption,
ingestion is not expected to be a significant route of exposure to this product.
Butane: Studies in laboratory animals indicate exposure to extremely high levels of
butanes (1-10 or higher vol.% in air) may cause cardiac arrhythmias (irregular
heartbeats) which may be serious or fatal.
Cumene: Overexposure to cumene may cause upper respiratory tract irritation and
CNS depression.
n-Hexane: n-Hexane is a CNS depressant and narcosis at elevated concentrations.

Conclusion/Summary
: Ethanol: IARC Monograph 96 (2010) identified Ethanol in alcoholic beverages as a
Group 1 carcinogen.
Benzene: Studies of workers exposed to benzene show clear evidence that overexposure can cause cancer of the blood forming organs (acute myelogenous leukemia)
and aplastic anemia. Also, studies suggest over-exposure to benzene may be
associated with other types of leukemia and other blood disorders. Studies in laboratory
animals indicate that prolonged, repeated exposure to high levels of benzene vapor can
cause bone marrow suppression and cancer in multiple organ systems.
Ethylbenzene: Findings from a 2-year inhalation study in rodents conducted by NTP
were as follows: Effects were observed only at the highest exposure level (750 ppm).
At this level the incidence of renal tumors was elevated in male rats (tubular carcinomas)
and female rats (tubular adenomas). Also, the incidence of tumors was elevated in male
mice (alveolar and bronchiolar carcinomas) and female mice (hepatocellular
carcinomas). IARC has classified ethyl benzene as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”
(Group 2B).
Cumene: Studies in laboratory animals indicate evidence of adverse effects on the
kidney and adrenal glands following high level exposure. The relevance of these
findings to humans is not clear at this time. IARC has classified cumene as “possibly
carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B). In addition, NTP has determined cumene is
reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of
carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.

Reproductive toxicity
Conclusion/Summary
: Toluene: Case studies of persons abusing toluene suggest isolated incidences of
adverse effects on the fetus including birth defects. Several studies of workers suggest
long-term exposure may be related to small increases in spontaneous abortions and
changes in some gonadotropic hormones. However, the weight of evidence does not
indicate toluene is a reproductive hazard to humans. Studies in laboratory animals
indicate some changes in reproductive organs following high levels of exposure, but no
significant effects on mating performance or reproduction were observed. Case studies
of persons abusing toluene suggest isolated incidences of adverse effects on the fetus
including birth defects. Findings in laboratory animals were largely negative. Positive
findings include small increases in minor skeletal and visceral malformations and
developmental delays following very high levels of maternal exposure.
Benzene: One study of women workers exposed to benzene suggested a weak
association with irregular menstruation. However, other studies of workers exposed to
benzene have not demonstrated clear evidence of an effect on fertility or reproductive
outcome in humans. Benzene can cross the placenta and affect the developing fetus.
Cases of aplastic anemia have been reported in the offspring of persons severely overexposed to benzene. Studies in laboratory animals show evidence of adverse effects on
male reproductive organs following high levels of exposure but no significant effects on
reproduction have been observed. Embryotoxicity has been reported in studies of
laboratory animals but effects were limited to reduced fetal weight and skeletal
variations.
Ethylbenzene: Studies in laboratory animals indicate limited evidence of renal
malformations, resorptions, and developmental delays following high levels of maternal
exposure. The relevance of these findings to humans is not clear at this time.
n-Hexane: In laboratory studies, prolonged exposure to elevated concentrations of nhexane was associated with decreased sperm count and degenerative changes in the
testicles of rats.

Additional Advice
:
Avoid contact with spilled or released material. Immediately
remove all contaminated clothing. For guidance on selection of
personal protective equipment see Chapter 8 of this Material
Safety Data Sheet. For guidance on disposal of spilled material
see Chapter 13 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. Be ready for
fire or possible exposure. Stay upwind and keep out of low
areas. Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risks. Remove
all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Use
appropriate containment (of product and fire fighting water) to
avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or
entering drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other
appropriate barriers. Attempt to disperse the vapour or to direct
its flow to a safe location for example by using fog sprays. Take
precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure
electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all
equipment.
For small liquid spills (< 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means
to a labelled, sealable container for product recovery or safe
disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an
appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove
contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means
such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or safe
disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as
contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up
with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely.
Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
Risk of explosion. Inform the emergency services if liquid enters
surface water drains. Vapour may form an explosive mixture
with air. Notify authorities if any exposure to the general public or
the environment occurs or is likely to occur. Under Section 311
of the Clean Water Act (CWA) this material is considered an oil.
As such, spills into surface waters must be reported to the
National Response Centre at (800) 424-8802. This material is
covered by EPA's Comprehensive Environmental Response,

Respiratory Protection
:
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary
depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls
based on a risk assessment of local circumstances. Appropriate
measures include: Adequate explosion-proof ventilation to
control airborne concentrations below the exposure
guidelines/limits. Eye washes and showers for emergency use.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet
recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations
to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, select
respiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific
conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with
respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering
respirators are unsuitable (e.g., airborne concentrations are
high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined space) use appropriate
positive pressure breathing apparatus. If air-filtering respirators
are suitable for conditions of use:
Select a filter suitable for combined particulate/organic gases

Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739, AS/NZS:2161) made from the following materials
may provide suitable chemical protection: Suitability and
durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and
duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, glove
thickness, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers.
Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Longer term
protection - Viton. Incidental contact/Splash protection - Nitrile
rubber.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.
Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves,
hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a
non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.
Chemical splash goggles (chemical monogoggles).
Chemical resistant gloves/gauntlets, boots, and apron (where
risk of splashing).
Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing
zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to
confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure
controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also
be appropriate. Examples of sources of recommended air
monitoring methods are given below or contact supplier. Further
