Section 11 – Toxicological Information
Acute and Chronic Toxicity:
Component Analysis - LD50/LC50:
The components of this material have been reviewed in various sources and the following selected
endpoints are published:
1-butene (CAS 106-98-9) LC50 (rat) = 658 mg/L (4 hour)
propene (CAS 115-07-1) LC50 (rat) = 658 mg/L (4 hour)
Immediate Effects: Direct contact with skin, eyes or internal tissues may result in frostbite. May
cause drowsiness or dizziness if expelled fuel displaces oxygen in an enclosed,
poorly ventilated space. Rapid suffocation may result.
Delayed Effects: No significant effects are expected. Propene listed as IARC-3/ACGIH TLV-A4.
Likely Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation: May cause drowsiness or dizziness if expelled fuel displaces
oxygen in an enclosed, poorly ventilated space. Rapid
suffocation may result.
Skin Contact: Contact with liquefied gas may cause frostbite.
Eye Contact: Contact with liquefied gas may cause frostbite.
Ingestion: Contact with liquefied gas may cause frostbite.
Irritation/Corrosivity Data: No data available.
Respiratory Sensitization: No data available.
Dermal Sensitization: No data available.
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: No data available.
Reproductive Toxicity: No data available.
STOT - Single Exposure: No known effects beyond simple asphyxiation.
STOT - Repeated Exposure: No known effects.
(STOT = Specific Target Organ Toxicity)
Aspiration Hazard: No data available.
Medical Conditions Aggravated
by Exposure: None known.
Section 12 – Ecological Information
Ecotoxicity: No significant ecotoxic effects are expected.
Persistence and degradability: Material is gaseous under atmospheric conditions and
expected to dissipate primarily into the air when released
into the environment. Material components are readily
degradable based upon a variety of studies.
Bioaccumulative Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate.
Mobility in Soil: Material is gaseous under atmospheric conditions and not
expected to adsorb to or be absorbed by soils.
Other Adverse Effects: None identified.
