TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION <br />SYSTEMIC: <br />• Petroleum-derived fuels and fuel oils are complex and variable mixtures of hydrocarbons. <br />In general, the more viscous the mixture, the less toxic it will be. At high level <br />exposures, humans experience multiple organ failures, some of which may be due to <br />hypoxia and secondary to the failure of other organ systems. In humans kidney failure <br />has been noted only at high, acute levels of exposures, and appears reversible. Liver <br />enzymes may be transiently elevated. At lower level exposures, most acute health effects <br />are reversible. People can be exposed by inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact. <br />Frequently, people are exposed by combined dermal and inhalation exposure. <br />ACUTE: <br />Inhalation: Headaches, confusion, disorientation, blurred vision occur with inhalation. <br />Higher exposures may cause hallucinations, CNS excitation, drowsiness, CNS <br />depression. Seizure and coma occur from very high exposures and death may result from <br />respiratory depression. ECG changes, cardiac arrhythmias, tachycardia, shock and <br />cardiovascular collapse can occur. Pneumonia, pulmonary edema and hemorrhages can <br />occur. <br />Inhalation of 8000-16000 mg/m3 for 2 to 4 hours was lethal to rats. <br />Ingestion: Central nervous system, cardiovascular, and respiratory effects have been <br />reported with acute exposures to various hydrocarbon fuels and oils similar to those <br />reported with inhalation. Nausea, vomiting, cramping and diarrhea may occur. <br />U
