NATURAL GASOLINE C5-C8 IS A COLORLESS LIQUID WITH A STRONG HYDROCARBON
ODOR. NATURAL GASOLINE IS A VOLATILE AND EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND
MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRES. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS OR FLAME. NATURAL
GASOLINE 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, NATURAL GASOLINE MAY GET
SUCKED INTO THE LUNGS (ASPIRATED) AND CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE OR EVEN DEATH.
OSHA WARNING LABEL:
DANGER!
FLAMMABLE LIQUID
ASPIRATION (INADVERTENT SUCTION) OF LIQUID IN THE LUNGS
CAN PRODUCE CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA OR EVEN DEATH.
PRODUCES SKIN IRRITATION UPON PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT.
CONTAINS BENZENE WHICH CAN CAUSE
CANCER OR BE TOXIC TO BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS.
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 HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, NARCOSIS, INCOORDINATION AND LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. AT EXTREMELY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS AND EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE CONDITIONS SOME COMPONENTS OF NATURAL GASOLINE MAY PRODUCE CARDIAC SENSITIZATION.
INGESTION MAY RESULT IN NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. 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 NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM (NTP), OSHA AND IARC HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF BENZENE IN HUMANS (GROUP 1A).
PREEXISTING SKIN CONDITIONS AND RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURES TO COMPONENTS OF NATURAL GASOLINE.
FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF SYMPTOMS OR IRRITATION OCCUR, CALL A PHYSICIAN.
WASH WITH SOAP AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF SYMPTOMS OR IRRITATION OCCUR, CALL A PHYSICIAN.
IF AFFECTED, MOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, ADMINISTER OXYGEN. IF NOT BREATHING OR IF NO HEARTBEAT, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION OR CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR). IMMEDIATELY CALL A PHYSICIAN.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DO NOT GIVE LIQUIDS. IMMEDIATELY CALL A PHYSICIAN.

THIS MATERIAL HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A FLAMMABLE LIQUID PER THE OSHA HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD. VAPORS MAY TRAVEL ALONG THE GROUND OR BE MOVED BY VENTILATION AND IGNITED BY MANY SOURCES SUCH AS PILOT LIGHTS, SPARKS, ELECTRIC MOTORS, STATIC DISCHARGE, OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES AT LOCATIONS DISTANT FROM MATERIAL HANDLING. FLASHBACK MAY OCCUR ALONG VAPOR TRAIL. FOR ADDITIONAL FIRE RELATED INFORMATION, SEE NFPA 30 OR NORTH AMERICAN EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDE 128. FOR SMALL FIRES, CLASS B FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SUCH AS CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM (AFFF/ATC) OR WATER SPRAY CAN BE USED. FOR LARGE FIRES, WATER SPRAY, FOG OR FOAM (AFFF/ATC) CAN BE USED. FIRE FIGHTING SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED ONLY BY THOSE WHO ARE ADEQUATELY TRAINED AND EQUIPPED WITH PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
FOR SMALL FIRES, CLASS B FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SUCH AS CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM (AFFF/ATC) OR WATER SPRAY CAN BE USED. FOR LARGE FIRES, WATER SPRAY, FOG OR FOAM (AFFF/ATC) CAN BE USED. FIRE FIGHTING SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED ONLY BY THOSE WHO ARE ADEQUATELY TRAINED AND EQUIPPED WITH PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
AVOID USE OF STRAIGHT WATER STREAMS. WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE IN EXSTINGUISHING LOW FLASH POINT FIRES, BUT CAN BE USED TO COOL EXPOSED SURFACES. AVOID EXCESSIVE WATER SPRAY APPLICATION. WATER SPRAY AND FOAM (AFFF/ATC) MUST BE APPLIED CAREFULLY TO AVOID FROHTING AND FROM AS FAR A DISTANCE AS POSSIBLE. KEEP RUN-OFF WATER OUT OF SEWERS AND WATER SOURCES.
ISOLATE AND EVACUATE AREA. SHUT OFF SOURCE IF SAFE TO DO SO. ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. ADVISE NATIONAL RESPONSE CENTER (800-424-8802) IF PRODUCT HAS ENTERED A WATERWAY. NOTIFY LOCAL HEALTH AND POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCIES, IF APPROPRIATE. CONTAIN LIQUID WITH SAND OR SOIL. RECOVER AND RETURN FREE LIQUID TO PROPER CONTAINERS. USE SUITABLE ABSORBENT MATERIALS SUCH AS VERMICULITE, SAND OR CLAY TO CLEAN UP RESIDUAL LIQUIDS.
NATURAL GASOLINE SHOULD NEVER BE USED 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. COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE OSHA, NFPA AND CONSISTENT LOCAL REQUIREMENTS. USE APPROPRIATE GROUNDING AND BONDING PRACTICES. STORE IN PROPERLY CLOSED CONTAINERS THAT ARE APPROPRIATELY LABELED AND IN A COOL WELL-VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT EXPOSE TO HEAT, OPEN FLAME, OXIDIZERS OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. DO NOT CUT, DRILL, GRIND OR WELD ON EMPTY CONTAINERS SINCE THEY MAY CONTAIN EXPLOSIVE RESIDUES. AVOID SKIN CONTACT. EXERCISE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE INCLUDING REMOVAL OF SOILED CLOTHING AND PROMPT WASHING WITH SOAP AND WATER. PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS ARE BASICALLY NON-CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY AND CAN BECOME ELECTROSTATICALLY CHARGED DURING PUMPING, LOADING AND TRANSFER OPERATIONS. IF THIS CHARGE REACHES A SUFFICIENTLY HIGH LEVEL, SPARKS CAN FORM THAT MAY IGNITE THE VAPORS OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. SUDDEN RELEASE OF VAPORS UNDER ELEVATED TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE, OR SUDDEN INGRESS OF AIR INTO VACUUM EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IN IGNITIONS WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF OBVIOUS IGNITION SOURCES. NOZZLE SPOUTS MUST BE KEPT IN CONTACT WITH THE CONTAINER OR TANK DURING THE ENTIRE FILLING OPERATION.
LOCAL OR GENERAL EXHAUST REQUIRED IN ENCLOSED AREAS OR WITH INADEQUATE VENTILATION.
APPROVED ORGANIC VAPOR CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE OR SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATORS SHOULD BE WORN FOR EXPOSURES EXCEEDING THE TLV OR STEL. OBSERVE RESPIRATOR PROTECTION FACTOR CRITERIA CITED IN ANSI Z88.2. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE USED FOR FIRE FIGHTING.
USE NITRILE RUBBER, VITON OR PVA GLOVES FOR REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN EXPOSURE.
NO SPECIAL EYE PROTECTION IS NORMALLY REQUIRED. WHERE SPLASHING IS POSSIBLE, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS.
NO SPECIAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IS NORMALLY REQUIRED. SELECT PROTECTIVE CLOTHING DEPENDING ON INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS. USE MECHANICAL VENTILATION EQUIPMENT THAT IS EXPLOSION-PROOF.

SUMMARY OF HEALTH EFFECT DATA ON NATURAL GASOLINE COMPONENTS: SOME COMPONENTS OF NATURAL GASOLINE, 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. LIFETIME SKIN PAINTING STUDIES IN MICE WITH COMPONENTS OF NATURAL GASOLINE HAVE SHOWN WEAK OR NO CARCINOGENIC ACTIVITY FOLLOWING PROLONGED AND REPEATED EXPOSURE. SIMILAR COMPONENTS OF PETROLEUM DISTILLATES, WHEN TESTED AT NON-IRRITATING DOSE LEVELS, DID NOT SHOW ANY SIGNIFICANT CARCINOGENIC ACTIVITY INDICATING THAT THIS TUMORIGENIC RESPONSE IS LIKELY RELATED TO CHRONIC IRRITATION AND NOT TO DOSE. THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN 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 (CERTAIN 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, TESTICULAR DAMAGE OR OTHER CHROMOSOMAL CHANGES, AND EMBRYO/FETOTOXICITY, BUT NOT TERATOGENICITY. COMPONENTS OF NATURAL GASOLINE DO NOT PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISK IN THE CONCENTRATIONS PRESENT IN THE NATURAL GASOLINE MIXTURE AT EXPOSURES NOT EXCEEDING THE EXPOSURE LIMITS LISTED IN IN SECTION 2.
PRODUCT CAN CAUSE FOULING OF SHORELINES AND IS HARMFUL TO AQUATIC LIFE IN LOW CONCENTRATIONS. THERE IS NO POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATION IN THE FOOD CHAIN.
THIS MATERIAL AS SUPPLIED IS NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED AS AN EPA RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE ACCORDING TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS (40 CFR 261-271). HOWEVER, WHEN DISCARDED OR DISPOSED OF, IT MAY MEET THE CRITERIA OF AN "IGNITABLE" HAZARDOUS WASTE. THIS PRODUCT COULD ALSO CONTAIN BENZENE AT >0.5PPM AND COULD EXHIBIT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF "TOXICITY" AS DETERMINED BY THE TOXICITY LEACHING PROCEDURE (TCLP). THIS MATERIAL COULD ALSO BECOME A HAZARDOUS WASTE IF MIXED OR CONTAMINATED WITH A LISTED HAZARDOUS WASTE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO DETERMINE IF DISPOSAL MATERIAL IS HAZARDOUS ACCORDING TO FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
