HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview Appearance and Odour : Bronze. Clear, bright liquid. Hydrocarbon. Health Hazards : Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Irritating to skin. May cause cancer. May cause leukaemia (AML - acute myelogenous leukaemia). May cause MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome). Safety Hazards : Extremely flammable. The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and distant ignition is possible.
3 Will float and can be reignited on surface water. This Material is a static Gasoline SDS# 7957 Version Material Safety Data Sheet Effective Date 01/24/2013 According to OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 2/13 Print Date 12/16/2014 000000004706 MSDS_US accumulator. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this Material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge. If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flammable air-vapour mixtures can occur. Environmental Hazards : Toxic to aquatic organisms; may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Ether oxygenates are significantly more water soluble and less biodegradable than benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes (BTEX). Consequently ether oxygenates have the potential to migrate relatively longer distances than BTEX in groundwater.
4 Health Hazards Inhalation : Slightly irritating to respiratory system. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Skin Contact : Irritating to skin. Ingestion : Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed. Signs and Symptoms : Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blisters. If Material enters lungs, signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, shortness of breath, and/or fever. Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death. Aggravated Medical Condition : Pre-existing medical conditions of the following organ(s) or organ system(s) may be aggravated by exposure to this Material : Skin.
5 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Do not attempt to rescue the victim unless proper respiratory protection is worn. If the victim has difficulty breathing or tightness of the chest, is dizzy, vomiting, or unresponsive, give 100% oxygen with rescue breathing or CPR as required and transport to the nearest medical facility. Skin Contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, and follow by washing with soap and water if available. If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Eye Contact : Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
6 Ingestion : If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. If any of the following delayed signs and symptoms appear within the next 6 hours, transport to the nearest medical facility: fever greater than 101 F ( C), shortness of breath, chest congestion or continued coughing or wheezing. Give nothing by mouth. Gasoline SDS# 7957 Version Material Safety Data Sheet Effective Date 01/24/2013 According to OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 3/13 Print Date 12/16/2014 000000004706 MSDS_US Advice to Physician : Potential for chemical pneumonitis. Call a doctor or poison control center for guidance. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel.
7 Flash point : -40 C / -40 F (Tagliabue Closed Cup) Explosion / Flammability limits in air : - %(V) Specific Hazards : Carbon monoxide may be evolved if incomplete combustion occurs. Will float and can be reignited on surface water. The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and distant ignition is possible. Extinguishing Media : Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media : Do not use water in a jet. Protective Equipment for Firefighters : Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Additional Advice : Keep adjacent containers cool by spraying with water. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Observe all relevant local and international regulations.
8 Protective measures : 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.
9 Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment. Clean Up Methods : 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 Gasoline SDS# 7957 Version Material Safety Data Sheet Effective Date 01/24/2013 According to OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 4/13 Print Date 12/16/2014 000000004706 MSDS_US with an appropriate absorbent Material and dispose of safely.
10 Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely. Additional Advice : 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 Center at (800) 424-8802. This Material is covered by EPA's Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Petroleum Exclusion. Therefore, releases to the environment may not be reportable under CERCLA. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE General Precautions : Avoid breathing vapours or contact with Material .
