MAPLLC TRANSMIX IS A MIXTURE OF GASOLINE AND FUEL OIL. IT IS A CLEAR OR
COLORED LIQUID WITH A STRONG HYDROCARBON ODOR. IT CONTAINS VOLATILE AND
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND/OR COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS AND MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRES.
KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, FLAME OR SOURCES OF IGNITION. TRANSMIX CAN ALSO
CONTAIN SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF BENZENE WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE
CANCER OR BE TOXIC TO BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS. NEVER SIPHON THIS PRODUCT BY
MOUTH. IF SWALLOWED, COMPONENTS OF THIS PRODUCT MAY GET SUCKED INTO THE
LUNGS (ASPIRATED) AND CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE OR EVEN DEATH. PROLONGED OR
REPEATED SKIN SKIN CAN CAUSE DEFATTING AND DRYING OF THE SKIN WHICH MAY
PRODUCE SEVERE IRRITATION OR DERMATITIS.
OSHA WARNING LABEL:
DANGER!
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
ASPIRATION (INADVERTENT SUCTION) OF LIQUID INTO THE LUNGS
CAN PRODUCE CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA OR EVEN DEATH.
CONTAINS BENZENE WHICH MAY CAUSE
CANCER OR BE TOXIC TO BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS.
PRODUCES SKIN IRRITATION UPON PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT.
EYE IRRITATION MAY RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID OR EXPOSURE TO VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE THE TLV.
PROLONGED OR REPEATED LIQUID CONTACT CAN DEFAT THE SKIN AND LEAD TO IRRITATION AND/OR DERMATITIS.
EXPOSURE TO VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS EXCEEDING 1,000 PPM CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA AND LOSS OF COORDINATION. HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, CARDIAC SENSITIZATION, COMA AND DEATH RESULTING FROM RESPIRATORY FAILURE. INTENTIONAL OVEREXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF GASOLINE VAPORS (SUCH AS GASOLINE SNIFFING) CAN CAUSE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND BRAIN DAMAGE, CONVULSIONS AND SUDDEN DEATH FROM CARDIAC ARREST.
INGESTION MAY RESULT IN NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA AND RESTLESSNESS. ASPIRATION (INADVERTENT SUCTION) OF LIQUID INTO THE LUNGS MUST BE AVOIDED AS EVEN SMALL QUANTITIES IN THE LUNGS CAN PRODUCE CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS, PULMONARY EDEMA/HEMORRHAGE AND EVEN DEATH.
THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF GASOLINE IN HUMANS. IARC DETERMINED THAT LIMITED EVIDENCE OF CARCINOGENICITY IN ANIMALS EXISTS. IARC'S OVERALL EVALUATION OF GASOLINE, IN SPITE OF LIMITED CARCINOGENICITY EVIDENCE, HAS RESULTED IN THE IARC DESIGNATION OF GASOLINE AS POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP 2B) BECAUSE GASOLINE CONTAINS BENZENE. THE NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM (NTP), OSHA AND IARC HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF BENZENE IN HUMANS (GROUP 1A). IARC HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (ETHANOL) IN HUMANS (GROUP 1). IARC HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST IN HUMANS OR ANIMALS. HOWEVER, IARC'S OVERALL EVALUATION ON GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST, IN SPITE OF THE ABSENCE OF CARCINOGENICITY DATA, HAS RESULTED IN THE IARC DESIGNATION OF GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST AS POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP 2B) BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF CERTAIN ENGINE EXHAUST COMPONENTS. THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF FUEL OIL IN HUMANS. IARC HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS OF WHOLE ENGINE EXHAUST AND EXTRACTS OF DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST PARTICLES. IARC DETERMINED THAT THERE IS ONLY LIMITED EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY IN HUMANS OF DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST. HOWEVER, IARC'S OVERALL EVALUATION HAS RESULTED IN THE IARC DESIGNATION OF DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST AS PROBABLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP 2A) BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF CERTAIN ENGINE EXHAUST COMPONENTS.

ANIMAL STUDIES: LIFETIME INHALATION STUDIES WITH FULL VAPORIZED GASOLINE (67, 292 AND 2,056 PPM) PRODUCED KIDNEY DAMAGE AND KIDNEY TUMORS IN MALE RATS BUT NOT IN FEMALE RATS OR MALE AND FEMALE MICE. FEMALE MICE DEVELOPED A SLIGHTLY HIGHER INCIDENCE OF LIVER TUMORS COMPARED TO CONTROLS AT THE HIGHEST EXPOSURE LEVEL. RESULTS FROM SEPARATE STUDIES WITH COMPOUNDS PRODUCING SIMILAR EFFECTS, I.E., 1,4-DICHLOROBENZENE AND PERCHLOROETHYLENE, HAVE SHOWN THAT THE KIDNEY DAMAGE AND KIDNEY TUMORS DEVELOP VIA THE FORMATION OF ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, A MECHANISM UNIQUE TO THE MALE RAT. HUMANS DO NOT FORM ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, THEREFORE, TUMORS RESULTING FROM THIS MECHANISM ARE NOT RELEVENT IN HUMANS. THE BIOLOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MOUSE LIVER TUMOR RESPONSE WITH REGARD TO HUMAN HEALTH RISK IS QUESTIONABLE. GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST ANIMAL STUDIES: COMBUSTION OF GASOLINE PRODUCES GASES AND PARTICULATES WHICH INCLUDE CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, OXIDES OF NITROGEN AND/OR SULFUR AND HYDROCARBONS. EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) CAN CAUSE HYPOXIA VIA THE FORMATION OF CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN. OVEREXPOSURE TO CO CAN CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, COMA AND DEATH. CHRONIC INHALATION STUDIES OF GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST IN MICE, RATS AND HAMSTERS DID NOT PRODUCE ANY CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS. CONDENSATES/EXTRACTS OF GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST PRODUCED AN INCREASE IN TUMORS COMPARED TO CONTROLS WHEN TESTING BY SKIN PAINTING, SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION, INTRATRACHEAL INSTILLATION OR IMPLANTATION INTO THE LUNGS. SUMMARY OF HEALTH EFFECT DATA ON GASOLINE COMPONENTS: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS BENZENE AT A LEVEL OF >0.1%. REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO BENZENE AT CONCENTRATIONS IN EXCESS OF THE TLV MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS. SIGNIFICANT CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO BENZENE VAPOR HAS BEEN REPORTED TO PRODUCE VARIOUS BLOOD DISORDERS RANGING FROM ANEMIA TO CANCER (DIFFERENT FORMS OF LEUKEMIA) IN MAN. BENZENE PRODUCED TUMORS IN RATS AND MICE IN LIFETIME CHRONIC TOXICITY STUDIES, BUT THE RESPONSE HAS NOT BEEN CONSISTENT ACROSS SPECIES, STRAIN, SEX OR ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. ANIMAL STUDIES ON BENZENE HAVE DEMONSTRATED IMMUNE TOXICITY, CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATIONS, TESTICULAR EFFECTS AND ALTERATIONS IN REPRODUCTIVE CYCLES AND EMBRYO/FETOTOXICITY, BUT NOT TERATOGENICITY. THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE) AT A LEVEL OF >1.0%. INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF MTBE INDUCES CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION IN RODENTS. EXPOSURE TO MTBE VAPORS PRODUCED EMBRYO/ FETOTOXICITY (INCLUDING CLEFT PALATE) IN MICE BUT NO DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY IN RABBITS AT MATERNALLY TOXIC DOSES. MTBE DID NOT PRODUCE GENETIC TOXICITY IN SEVERAL MUTATION ASSAYS BUT DID CAUSE MUTATION IN A MOUSE LYMPHOMA TEST WITH METABOLIC ACTIVATION. LIFETIME INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF MTBE (3,000 AND 8,000 PPM) PRODUCED EARLY MORTALITY, KIDNEY DAMAGE AND KIDNEY TUMORS IN MALE RATS. FEMALE MICE DEVELOPED A SLIGHTLY HIGHER INCIDENCE OF LIVER TUMORS COMPARED TO CONTROLS AT THE HIGHEST EXPOSURE LEVEL. SEPARATE STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THE KIDNEY TUMORS DEVELOP VIA THE FORMATION OF ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, A MECHANISM UNIQUE TO THE MALE RAT. HUMANS DO NOT FORM ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, THEREFORE, TUMORS RESULTING FROM THIS MECHANISM ARE NOT RELEVANT IN HUMANS. THE BIOLOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MOUSE LIVER TUMOR RESPONSE WITH REGARD TO HUMAN HEALTH RISK IS QUESTIONABLE. THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN ETHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (ETBE) AT A LEVEL OF >1.0%. INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF ETBE INDUCED CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION IN RODENTS. SUBCHRONIC INHALATION EXPOSURE TO 4,000- 5,000 PPM ETBE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO PRODUCE LIVER DAMAGE (HEPATOCELLULAR HYPERTROPHY) IN MICE AND A SPECIES SPECIFIC, SEX HORMONAL DEPENDENT KIDNEY LESION IN MALE RATS. DEGENERATIVE CHANGES WERE ALSO OBSERVED IN MALE RAT TESTES AT 1,750 AND 5,000 PPM. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOWNN THAT THE KIDNEY DAMAGE DEVELOPS VIA THE FORMATION OF ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, A MECHANISM UNIQUE TO THE MALE RAT. ETBE WAS FOUND TO BE NEGATIVE IN A NUMBER OF MUTAGENICITY ASSAYS. THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN TERTIARY AMYL METHYL ETHER (TAME) AT A LEVEL OF >1.0%. INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF TAME INDUCES CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION IN RODENTS. EXPOSURE TO TAME VAPORS PRODUCED FETOTOXICITY AND DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY (INCLUDING CLEFT PALATE AND ENLARGED LATERAL CEREBRAL VENTRICLES) IN MICE BUT NO DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY IN RATS AT MATERNALLY TOXIC DOSES. TAME WAS FOUND TO BE NEGATIVE IN A NUMBER OF MUTAGENICITY ASSAYS BUT DID CAUSE MUTATION IN AN IN VITRO CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATION ASSAY USING CHINESE HAMSTER OVARY CELLS. SUBCHRONIC INHALATION EXPOSURE TO 3,500-4,000 PPM TAME HAS BEEN SHOWN TO PRODUCE LIVER DAMAGE (HEPATOCELLULAR HYPERTROPHY) IN MICE AND A SPECIES SPECIFIC, SEX HORMONAL DEPENDENT KIDNEY LESION IN MALE RATS. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE KIDNEY DAMAGE DEVELOPS VIA THE FORMATION OF ALPHA-2U- GLOBULIN, A MECHANISM UNIQUE TO THE MALE RAT. THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN ETHANOL AT A LEVEL OF >1.0%. INTENTIONAL ABUSE, MISUSE OR OTHER MASSIVE EXPOSURE TO ETHANOL MAY RESULT IN MULTIPLE ORGAN DAMAGE AND/OR DEATH. CHRONIC INGESTION OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF ETHANOL CAN CAUSE CANCER AND DAMAGE TO THE LIVER, KIDNEY, HEART, BRAIN, NERVOUS SYSTEM AND STOMACH. ETHYL ALCOHOL INGESTION DURING PREGNANCY CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THE UNBORN CHILD. STUDIES IN LABORATORY ANIMALS INVOLVING PROLONGED AND REPEATED EXPOSURES HAVE RESULTED IN SUCH EFFECTS AS EMBRYOTOXICITY, DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY AND TERATOGENICITY. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN BOTH IN VITRO AND IN VIVO SYSTEMS BUT USUALLY AT HIGH DOSAGES. DISTILLATE FUELS ANIMAL STUDIES: LIFETIME SKIN PAINTING STUDIES IN ANIMALS WITH SIMILAR DISTILLATE FUELS HAVE PRODUCED WEAK TO MODERATE CARCINOGENIC ACTIVITY FOLLOWING PROLONGED AND REPEATED EXPOSURE. SIMILAR MIDDLE DISTILLATES, WHEN TESTED AT NONIRRITATING DOSE LEVELS, DID NOT SHOW ANY SIGNIFICANT CARCINOGENIC ACTIVITY INDICATING THAT THIS TUMORIGENIC RESPONSE IS LIKELY RELATED TO CHRONIC IRRITATION AND NOT TO DOSE. REPEATED DERMAL APPLICATION HAS PRODUCED SEVERE IRRITATION AND SYSTEMIC TOXICITY IN SUBACUTE TOXICITY STUDIES. SOME COMPONENTS OF DISTILLATE FUELS, I.E., PARAFFINS AND OLEFINS, HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO PRODUCE A SPECIES SPECIFIC, SEX HORMONAL DEPENDENT KIDNEY LESION IN MALE RATS FROM REPEATED ORAL OR INHALATION EXPOSURE. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE KIDNEY DAMAGE DEVELOPS VIA THE FORMATION OF ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, A MECHANISM UNIQUE TO THE MALE RAT. HUMANS DO NOT FORM ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, THEREFORE, THE KIDNEY EFFECTS RESULTING FROM THIS MECHANISM ARE NOT RELEVANT IN HUMANS. KEROSENE AND NO. 1 FUEL OIL WERE FOUND TO BE POSITIVE IN A FEW MUTAGENICITY TESTS WHILE NEGATIVE IN THE MAJORITY OF OTHERS. THE EXACT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE RESULTS AND HUMAN HEALTH IS NOT KNOWN. COMBUSTION OF KEROSINE AND/OR DIESEL FUELS PRODUCES GASES AND PARTICULATES WHICH INCLUDE CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, OXIDES OF NITROGEN AND/OR SULFUR AND HYDROCARBONS. EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE CAN CAUSE HYPOXIA VIA THE FORMATION OF CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN. CHRONIC INHALATION STUDIES OF WHOLE DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST IN MICE AND RATS PRODUCED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN LUNG TUMORS. COMPONENTS OF GASOLINE DO NOT PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISK IN THE CONCENTRATIONS PRESENT IN GASOLINE AT EXPOSURES NOT EXCEEDING THE EXPOSURE LIMITS STATED IN SECTION 2.
TRANSMIX CAN BE TOXIC TO AQUATIC LIFE AND CAUSE FOULING OF THE SHORELINE AT LOW CONCENTRATIONS. THE AQUATIC 24 HOUR TLM FOR FUEL OIL IS 2,990 PPM IN FRESHWATER BLUEGILL FISH. HOWEVER, GASOLINE AND FUEL OILS DO NOT BIOCONCENTRATE IN THE FOOD CHAIN. THE AQUATIC TOXICITY OF GASOLINE IS LISTED BELOW: FRESHWATER TOXICITY: BLUEGILL: LC50 IS 8 PPM @ 96 HOURS JUVENILE SHAD: TLM IS 90 PPM @ 24 HOURS SALTWATER TOXICITY: MULLET: LC50 IS 2 PPM @ 96 HOURS GRASS SHRIMP: LC50 IS 1.5 PPM @ 96 HOURS MENHADEN: LC50 IS 2 PPM @ 96 HOURS JUVENILE SHAD: TLM IS 91 PPM @ 24 HOURS
