components have been classified for target organ toxicity (or are below the concentration threshold for classification).
Carcinogenicity: Suspected of causing cancer. Based on component information.
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: No information available on the mixture, however none of the components have been classified for
germ cell mutagenicity (or are below the concentration threshold for classification).
Reproductive Toxicity: No information available on the mixture, however none of the components have been classified for
reproductive toxicity (or are below the concentration threshold for classification).
Information on Toxicological Effects of Components
Kerosine, petroleum
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.
Petroleum distillates, hydrotreated light
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.
Naphthalene
Carcinogenicity: Naphthalene has been evaluated in two year inhalation studies in both rats and mice. The US National
Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded that there is clear evidence of carcinogenicity in male and female rats based on
increased incidences of respiratory epithelial adenomas and olfactory epithelial neuroblastomas of the nose. NTP found some
evidence of carcinogenicity in female mice (alveolar adenomas) and no evidence of carcinogenicity in male mice. Naphthalene
has been identified as a carcinogen by IARC and NTP.
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.
Solvent naphtha, petroleum, heavy aromatic
Carcinogenicity: Petroleum middle distillates have been shown to cause skin tumors in mice following repeated and
prolonged skin contact. Follow-up studies have shown that these tumors are produced through a non-genotoxic mechanism
associated with frequent cell damage and repair, and that they are not likely to cause tumors in the absence of prolonged skin
irritation.
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.
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.
