by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) as: confirmed human carcinogen (A1),
suspected human carcinogen (A2), or confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans (A3).
Used motor oils:
During use in engines, contamination of oil with low levels of cancer-causing combustion products occurs. Used engine
oils have been shown to cause skin cancer in mice following repeated application and continuous exposure. Brief or
intermittent skin contact with used oil is not expected to have serious effects on humans if the oil is thoroughly removed by
washing with soap and water.
Numerical measures of toxicity
Unknown Acute Toxicity: There is no data available.
Acute toxicity estimates: There is no data available.
The following values are calculated based on chapter 3.1 of the GHS document.
ATEmix (oral) - There is no data available
ATEmix (dermal) - There is no data available
The information is based on data available for the material, the components of the material, and similar materials.
Ecotoxicity: Not expected to be harmful to aquatic organisms.
Mobility: Base oil component – Low solubility and floats and is expected to migrate from water
to land. Expected to partition to sediment and wastewater solids.
Soil/water partition
Coefficient (Koc): Not available.
Persistence and degradation
Biodegradation: Base oil component – Expected to be inherently biodegradable.
Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulation: This product is not expected to bioaccumulate through food chain in the
environment.
Other adverse effects: No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Other ecological information: Spills may form a film on water surfaces causing physical damage to organisms.
Oxygen transfer could also be impaired.
Section 13. Disposal Considerations
Disposal recommendations based on material supplied.
Waste treatment methods
Product waste: Significant quantities of waste product residues should not be disposed of via the sanitary
sewer but processed in a suitable effluent treatment plant. Dispose of surplus and non-
recyclable products via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Disposal of this product,
solutions and any by-products should at all times comply with the requirements of
environmental protection and waste disposal legislation and any regional local authority
requirements. Incineration or landfill should only be considered when recycling is not
feasible. Oil collection services are available for used oil recycling.
Contaminated packaging: Empty containers or liners may retain some product residues and could pose a potential fire
and explosion hazard. Do not cut, puncture, or weld containers.
Other information: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
sewers.
