SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> GLOBAL Diesel Fuel <br /> • <br /> Possibility of Hazardous Reactions <br /> Hazardous polymerization will not occur. <br /> Incompatibility <br /> Keep away from strong oxidizers such as nitric and sulfuric acids. <br /> Conditions to Avoid <br /> Avoid high temperatures,open flames,sparks,static electricity,welding,smoking and other ignition sources. <br /> Hazardous Decomposition Products <br /> Carbon monoxide,carbon dioxide and non-combusted hydrocarbons(smoke). <br /> 11.TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION <br /> Acute Toxicity: <br /> Acute Toxicity(Inhalation LC50) <br /> Diesel Fuel(68476-34-6) <br /> LC50 Inhalation Rat >6 mg/I/4h <br /> Acute Toxicity(Dermal LDSO) <br /> Diesel Fuel(68476-34-6) <br /> LD50 Dermal Rabbit >5000 mg/kg <br /> Acute Toxicity(Oral LD50) <br /> Diesel Fuel(68476-34-6) <br /> LD50 Oral Rabbit >5000 mg/kg <br /> Skin Corrosion/Irritation:Prolonged and repeated contact may cause skin irritation leading to dermatitis. Liquid may be <br /> • absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts if large areas of skin are exposed repeatedly. <br /> Serious Eye Damage/Irritation:Causes serious eye irritation. <br /> Respiratory or Skin Sensitization:Not classified <br /> Germ Cell Mutagenicity:Not classified <br /> Teratogenicity:Not available <br /> Carcinogenicity:OSHA:NO, IARC:Group 3, NTP:NO,ACGIH:NOIC:A3, NIOSH:NO <br /> IARC:Group 3—Not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans <br /> ACGIH:A3—Confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans. <br /> Studies have shown that similar products produce skin tumors in laboratory animals following repeated applications without <br /> washing or removal.The significance of this finding to human exposure has not been determined.Other studies with active skin <br /> carcinogens have shown that washing the animal's skin with soap and water between applications reduced tumor formation. <br /> IARC classifies whole diesel fuel exhaust particulates(byproduct of combustion of this material)carcinogenic to humans(Group <br /> 1)and NIOSH regards diesel fuel exhaust particulate as a potential occupational carcinogen. <br /> Reproductive Toxicity:Not classified <br /> Specific Target Organ Toxicity(Repeated Exposure):Not classified <br /> Specific Target Organ Toxicity(Single Exposure):Inhalation exposure may cause drowsiness or dizziness by inhalation exposure. <br /> Aspiration Hazard:The major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration(breathing)of liquid drops into the <br /> lungs,particularly from vomiting.Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia(fluid in the lungs),severe lung damage, <br /> respiratory failure and even death. <br /> Potential Health Effects: Vapor irritating to skin,eyes,nose,and throat.Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, <br /> including irritation,nausea,vomiting and diarrhea,and central nervous system(brain)effects similar to alcohol intoxication.In <br /> • severe cases,tremors,convulsions,loss of consciousness,coma,respiratory arrest,and death may occur. <br /> WARNING:The burning of any hydrocarbon as a fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result in hazardous levels of <br /> Page 7 of 11 May 2016 <br />
