LAMPLIGHT CITRONELLA TORCH OIL
Animal studies have shown that prolonged or repeated inhalation exposures to high concentrations of some
petroleum distillates have caused liver tumors in mice and kidney damage and tumors in male rats. However,
kidney effects were not seen in similar studies involving female rats, guinea pigs, dogs, or monkeys. Present
studies indicate the kidney effects will only occur in male rats. Also, human studies do not indicate this
peculiar sensitivity for kidney damage and studies reported in 1992 showed that this particular type of rat
kidney damage is not useful in predicting a human health hazard. The significance of liver tumors in mice
exposed to high doses of chemicals is highly speculative and probably not a good indicator for predicting a
potential human carcinogenic hazard.
Mouse skin painting studies have shown that petroleum middles distillates (boiling range of 100 -700° F;
naphtha, jet fuel, diesel fuel, kerosene, etc.) can cause skin cancer when repeatedly applied and never washed
from the animals skin. The relative significance of this to human health is uncertain since the petroleum
distillates were never washed from the animal's skin. The relative significance of this to human health is
uncertain since the petroleum distillates were not washed from the skin and resulting skin effects (irritation, cell
damage, etc.) may play a role in the tumorigenic response. A few studies have shown that washing the animal's
skin with soap and water between treatments greatly reduces the carcinogenic effect of some petroleum oils.
Other laboratory studies indicate that middle distillates caused the skin tumors by promoting, rather than
initiating, the formation of tumors. So the effects are probably dose related and low level exposure should not
be carcinogenic.
CARCINOGENIC INFORMATION:
None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by
IARC, NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH as a carcinogen.

Not Available.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Evacuate the area and eliminate all sources of ignition. Contain the spill and absorb with an inert
material if possible. Dispose of only in accordance with local state, and federal regulations.
WASTE CLASSIFICATION:
If discarded in its purchased form, this product is not a RCRA hazardous waste. Liquids with a flash
point below 140° F have the RCRA characteristic of ignitability and are classed as hazardous fo
disposal purposes. This product should be evaluated at the time of disposal, since the product uses,
transformations, and contamination that may occur during use may result in classification to a
hazardous waste for reasons other than, and in addition to ignitability.
