Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THE ODOR OF KEROSENE (DEODORIZED) CAN
BE EASILY DETECTED BELOW HEALTH EFFECT LEVELS. OLFACTORY FATIGUE
OCCURS READILY, BUT THE ABILITY TO DETECT THE ODOR RETURNS TO
NORMAL READILY FOLLOWING REMOVAL FR OM EXPOSURE. CONCENTRATIONS
ABOVE RECOMMENDED HEALTH EFFECT LEVELCAN CAUSE EYE, NOSE, AND
THROAT IRRITATION, NARCOSIS AND DEATH. EYES: LIQUID AND VAPOR MAY
CAUSE TRANSIENT IRRITATION. 160 PPM CAN CAUS E SLIGHT EYE
IRRITATION; 400PPM CAUSES IRRITATION AND TEARING. SKIN: PROLONGED
OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. INHALATION: NOSE AND
THROAT IRRITATION
Effects of Overexposure:EYES: IRRITATION. SKIN IRRITATION. INHALATION:
NOSE AND THROAT IRRITATION.

First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF SYMPTOMS OF ILLNESS
DEVELOPS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH
PLENTY OF WATER AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS ARE PRESENT
AFTER FLUSHIN G. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY WASH WITH PLENTY OF SOAP AND
WATER WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. INGESTION: IF
SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. IF
VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP HEAD LOWER THAN HIPS TO PREVENT ASPIRATION.
NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

Flash Point:120F TO 130F
Autoignition Temp:>248.9C, 480.F
Lower Limits:0.7
Upper Limits:5.0
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL (ABC), CARBON DIOXIDE,
FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO PREVENT SKIN AND EYE CONTACT. USE WATER WITH
CAUTION. SINCE MATERIAL IS LIGHTER THAN WATER AND INSOLUBLE IN
WATER, FIRE COULD BE SPRE AD BY USE OF WATER IN AN AREA WHERE WATER
IS NOT CONTAINED. (1993 EMERGENCY GUIDEBOOK, DOT P 5800.8, GUIDE
PAGE NO. 27).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR. MAY TRAVEL
ALONG GROUND OR MOVED BY VENTILATION AND LIGHTED BY PILOT LIGHTS,
FLAMES, SPARKS, ELECTRIC MOTORS, OTHER IGNITION SOURCES AT
LOCATIONS DISTANT FROM HANDLING POI NT. FIRE OR EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY
PRODUCE HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS; CAN REACT VIGOROUSLY WITH
OXIDIZING MATERIALS.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. ABSORB
MATERIAL IN VERMICULITE OR OTHER SUITABLE ABSORBENT AND PLACE IN
IMPERVIOUS CONTAINER FOR INCINERATION.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN
NOT IN USE. STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM
HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, OR OTHER OXIIDIZING MATERIALS. AVOID PROLONGED
OR REPEATED CONTACT WITH SKIN. WA SH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
READ LABEL BEFORE USING.
Other Precautions:REMOVE AND WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. FOR LABORATORY
USE ONLY. NOT FOR DRUG, FEED, OR HOUSEHOLD USE. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHEN WORKING WITH
CHEMICALS.

Respiratory Protection:USE A NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOR MISTS IF
APPROVED EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED.
Ventilation:GOOD GENERAL VENTILATION (10 ROOM VOLUMES PER HOUR)SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT TO CONTROL AIRBORNE LEVELS. LOCAL EXHAUST AND
MECHANICAL (GENERAL) ARE RECOMMENDED.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER FOR REPEATED CONTACT RECOMMENDED.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GLASSES RECOMMENDED.
Other Protective Equipment:SMOCK, APRON, EYE WASH STATION, GOGGLES,
NONFRICTION HOOD, PROPER GLOVES, FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
Work Hygienic Practices:AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT WITH SKIN.
WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. REMOVE AND WASH CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING..
