Reproductive Toxicity: Hydrodesulfurized kerosene applied to the skin of female rats at 494, 330, or 165 mg/kg daily for 7
consecutive weeks (premating, mating, and gestation), or for 8 consecutive weeks in males did not result in systemic,
reproductive, or developmental toxicity.
Naphtha, petroleum, hydrotreated heavy
Reproductive Toxicity: No evidence of developmental toxicity was found in pregnant laboratory animals (rats and mice)
exposed to high vapor concentrations of unleaded gasoline and petroleum naphthas via inhalation. A two-generation
reproductive toxicity study of vapor recovery gasoline did not adversely affect reproductive function or offspring survival and
development.
Xylenes (o-, m-, p- isomers)
Reproductive Toxicity: Both mixed xylenes and the individual isomers produced limited evidence of developmental toxicity in
laboratory animals. Inhalation and oral administration of xylene resulted in decreased fetal weight, increased incidences of
delayed ossification, skeletal variations and resorptions, but no evidence of teratogenicity.
Target Organ(s): Rats exposed to xylenes at 800, 1000 or 1200 ppm 14 hours daily for 6 weeks demonstrated high frequency
hearing loss. Another study in rats exposed to 1800 ppm 8 hours daily for 5 days demonstrated middle frequency hearing loss.
Ethylbenzene
Carcinogenicity: Rats and mice exposed to 0, 75, 250, or 750 ppm ethyl benzene in a two year inhalation study
demonstrated limited evidence of kidney, liver, and lung cancer. Ethyl benzene has been listed as a possible human
carcinogen by IARC.
Target Organ(s): In rats and mice exposed to 0, 75, 250, or 750 ppm ethyl benzene in a two year inhalation study there was
mild damage to the kidney (tubular hyperplasia), liver (eosinophilio foci, hypertrophy, necrosis), lung (alveolar epithelium
metaplasia), thyroid (hyperplasia), thyroid (hyperplasia) and pituitary (hyperplasia). In animal models (particularly rats), ethyl
benzene affects the auditory function mainly in the cochlear mid-frequency range and ototoxicity was observed after combined
exposure to noise and ethyl benzene. There is no evidence of either ethyl benzene-induced hearing losses or ototoxicity with
combined exposure to ethyl benzene and noise in workers.
SECTION 12: Ecological information
GHS Classification:
H411 -- Hazardous to the aquatic environment, chronic toxicity -- Category 2
Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
Toxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment
Persistence and Degradability: The hydrocarbons in this material are not readily biodegradable but are regarded as inherently
biodegradable since their hydrocarbon components can be degraded by microorganisms.
Bioaccumulative Potential: Hydrocarbon constituents of kerosine show measured or predicted Log Kow values ranging from 3 to
6 and above and therefore would be regarded as having the potential to bioaccumulate. In practice, metabolic processes may
reduce bioconcentration.
Mobility in Soil: On release to water, hydrocarbons will float on the surface and since they are sparingly soluble, the only
significant loss is volatilization to air. It is possible that some of the higher molecular weight hydrocarbons will be adsorbed on
sediment. Biodegradation in water is a minor loss process. In air, these hydrocarbons are photodegraded by reaction with hydroxyl
radicals with half lives varying from 0.1 to 0.7 days.
Other adverse effects: None anticipated.
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
The generator of a waste is always responsible for making proper hazardous waste determinations and needs to consider state and
local requirements in addition to federal regulations. This material, if discarded as produced, would not be a federally regulated
RCRA "listed" hazardous waste. However, it would likely be identified as a federally regulated RCRA hazardous waste for the
following characteristic(s) shown below. See Sections 7 and 8 for information on handling, storage and personal protection and
Section 9 for physical/chemical properties. It is possible that the material as produced contains constituents which are not required
to be listed in the SDS but could affect the hazardous waste determination. Additionally, use which results in chemical or physical
change of this material could subject it to regulation as a hazardous waste.Container contents should be completely used and
containers should be emptied prior to discard. Container residues and rinseates could be considered to be hazardous wastes.
