11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICITY DATA: Currently, the following toxicity data are available for the Petroleum Naphtha, Hydrotreated, Heavy
component:
LD
50
(Oral-Rat) > 5000 mg/kg LD
50
(Skin-Rabbit) > 2000 mg/kg LD
50
(Skin-Rabbit) > 316 gm/kg
SUSPECTED CANCER AGENT: The full range naphthas are listed by agencies tracking the carcinogenic potential of
chemical compounds, as follows: ACGIH TLV-A3 (Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans)
This component is not found on the following lists: FEDERAL OSHA Z LIST, NTP, IARC, and CAL/OSHA and therefore
are neither considered to be nor suspected to be cancer-causing agents by these agencies.
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT
: The fluid in the vials may be mildly irritating to the eyes. Prolonged or repeated skin contact
may dermatitis.
SENSITIZATION TO THE PRODUCT: No information is available on human skin or respiratory sensitization.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION: Listed below is information concerning the effects of this material on the
human reproductive system.
Mutagenicity: The components of this product are not reported to cause mutagenic effects in humans.
Embryotoxicity
: The components of this product are not reported to cause embryotoxic effects in humans.
Teratogenicity
: The components of this product are not reported to cause teratogenic effects in humans.
Reproductive Toxicity
: The components of this product are not reported to cause reproductive effects in humans.
A mutagen
is a chemical that causes permanent changes to genetic material (DNA) such that the changes will propagate through
generational lines. An embryotoxin
is a chemical that causes damage to a developing embryo (i.e. within the first eight weeks of
pregnancy in humans), but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A teratogen
is a chemical that causes damage
to a developing fetus, but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A reproductive toxin
is any substance that
interferes in any way with the reproductive process.
ACGIH BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES: Currently, there are no ACGIH Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) determined
for the components of this product.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ALL WORK PRACTICES MUST BE AIMED AT ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY
: Hydrocarbons present in Hydrotreated naphthas such as present in the vial fluid are not
susceptible to hydrolysis under environmental conditions. Hydrotreated naphthas are not readily biodegradable in non-
adapted, activated domestic sludge. At a concentration of 2 mg/L these substances biodegraded 10% after 28 days.
COEFFICIENT OF OIL/WATER DISTRIBUTION (PARTITION COEFFICIENT): Log Pow = 2.1-6.0 (calc.)
EFFECT OF MATERIAL ON PLANTS or ANIMALS: Not tested. Large quantities of the vial fluid may to be acutely harmful
to contaminated plant and animal life.
EFFECT OF CHEMICAL ON AQUATIC LIFE
: Aquatic toxicity data are available for the Petroleum Naphtha, Hydrotreated
Heavy :
LC
50
(Pimephales promelas fathead minnow) 96 hours = 2200 mg/L
LC
50
(Crangon crangon) 96 hours = 4.3 mg/L
LC
50
(Chaetogammarus marinus) 96 hours = 2.6 mg/L
NOEL (Chaetogammarus marinus) 96 hours = 32 mg/L
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
