SECTION 11 Toxicological information
Information on toxicological effects
Inhaled
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal
models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an
occupational setting.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by sleepiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of
co-ordination, and vertigo.
Inhaling high concentrations of mixed hydrocarbons can cause narcosis, with nausea, vomiting and lightheadedness. Low molecular weight
(C2-C12) hydrocarbons can irritate mucous membranes and cause incoordination, giddiness, nausea, vertigo, confusion, headache, appetite
loss, drowsiness, tremors and stupor.
Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include general discomfort, symptoms of giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic
effects, slowed reaction time, slurred speech and may progress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may result in respiratory depression and
may be fatal.
Ingestion
Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis; serious consequences may result.
(ICSC13733)
The material has
NOT
been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as 'harmful by ingestion'. This is because of the lack of
corroborating animal or human evidence.
Ingestion of petroleum hydrocarbons can irritate the pharynx, oesophagus, stomach and small intestine, and cause swellings and ulcers of the
mucous. Symptoms include a burning mouth and throat; larger amounts can cause nausea and vomiting, narcosis, weakness, dizziness, slow
and shallow breathing, abdominal swelling, unconsciousness and convulsions.
Skin Contact
This material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin
prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
The liquid may be able to be mixed with fats or oils and may degrease the skin, producing a skin reaction described as non-allergic contact
dermatitis. The material is unlikely to produce an irritant dermatitis as described in EC Directives.
Eye
This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
Direct eye contact with petroleum hydrocarbons can be painful, and the corneal epithelium may be temporarily damaged. Aromatic species can
cause irritation and excessive tear secretion.
Chronic
Repeated or long-term occupational exposure is likely to produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems.
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population.
There is sufficient evidence to suggest that this material directly causes cancer in humans.
Ample evidence exists from experimentation that reduced human fertility is directly caused by exposure to the material.
Constant or exposure over long periods to mixed hydrocarbons may produce stupor with dizziness, weakness and visual disturbance, weight loss
and anaemia, and reduced liver and kidney function. Skin exposure may result in drying and cracking and redness of the skin.
Chronic excessive intake of iron have been associated with damage to the liver and pancreas. People with a genetic disposition to poor control
over iron are at an increased risk.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS]
