DANGER
SUMMARY OF HAZARDS
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! OSHA/NFPA Class 1A flammable liquid. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, AND OPEN FLAME! May cause irritation or more serious skin disorders. May be harmful if inhaled. May cause irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of coordination, fatigue, nausea and labored breathing. May cause irregular heartbeats. Avoid prolonged or repeated liquid, mist, and vapor contact with eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting since aspiration into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonia. Obtain prompt medical attention. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Sulfur compounds in this material may decompose to release hydrogen sulfide gas which may accumulate to potentially lethal concentrations in enclosed air spaces. Vapor concentrations of hydrogen sulfide above 50 ppm, or prolonged exposure at lower concentrations, may saturate human odor perceptions so that the smell of gas may not be apparent. DO NOT DEPEND ON THE SENSE OF SMELL TO DETECT HYDROGEN SULFIDE! IDLH for hydrogen sulfide is 100 ppm. Hydrogen sulfide is listed as an EPA Extremely Hazardous Substance. Contains benzene, a chemical known to cause cancer in humans. May cause diseases of the blood forming organs, such as leukemia, adverse effects on the immune system and adverse reproductive effects. Benzene may cause irritation to the eyes, skin and lungs, central nervous system effects and irregular heartbeats. IDLH for benzene is 500 ppm.
Some components of this material such as benzene, toluene and xylene have been shown to produce fetal toxicity and/or reduce female or male reproductive capacity in laboratory animals.

Carcinogen displayed after Component Name, Listed by (1) NTP, (2) IARC, (3) OSHA, (4) other. See abbreviations on last page The OSHA exposure limits were changed in 1995 due to a federal court ruling. Burlington Resources has chosen to list the 1989 OSHA exposure limits in this document as they are generally more stringent and therefore more protective than the current exposure limits.

5. HEALTH HAZARDS
SUMMARY OF ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS Inhalation: Vapors may cause nasal and respiratory tract irritation, central nervous system effects, anemia, irregular heart rhythm and behavioral changes. Symptoms may include excitation, euphoria, contracted eye pupils, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, headache, loss of reflexes, tremors, convulsions, seizures, loss of consciousness, coma, depression, diarrhea and vomiting. Eye: Liquid can cause severe irritation if not removed immediately. Hot liquid and vapors can result in burns. Cold vapors are irritating. Skin Contact: Liquid can cause irritation. Hot liquid can cause severe burns. Ingestion: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Burning sensation of mouth and throat. Severe gastric distress may result. Vomiting may occur; if aspirated, may cause chemical pneumonitis. Note: Sulfur compounds in this material may decompose to release hydrogen sulfide gas which may accumulate to potentially lethal concentrations in enclosed air spaces. Vapor concentrations of hydrogen sulfide above 50 ppm, or prolonged exposure at lower concentrations, may saturate human odor perceptions so that the smell of gas may not be apparent. DO NOT DEPEND ON THE SENSE OF SMELL TO DETECT HYDROGEN SULFIDE! Contact with this material or hydrogen sulfide vapors may irritate the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Inhalation: Repeated and prolonged inhalation of vapor components may have specific health effects (see COMMENTS below). Eye: Continued and prolonged vapor or liquid contact can cause injury to the eye and lids. Symptoms include redness, tearing and blurred vision. Skin Contact: Prolonged and repeated contact can cause skin lesions and in open wounds may be partially absorbed to form slow healing lesions. Symptoms include cracking, redness, itching and inflammation. On repeated contact may produce chronic dermatitis or warty growths which may become skin cancer. SOME OF THE COMPONENTS CAN BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE INTACT SKIN. Ingestion: Harmful or fatal if repeatedly swallowed. Severe gastric distress may result. Not a likely route of exposure long-term. Contains benzene, a chemical known to cause cancer in humans. Repeated and prolonged exposure to benzene vapors may cause leukemia, aplastic anemia, or other blood disorders, immunotoxicity, reproductive harm or fetal toxicity. Reproductive and neurotoxic effects have been associated with n-hexane, a component of this material. Generally, human exposures to condensate are considerably lower than levels which have caused adverse health effects in animal studies or human case studies. Adverse health effects are not expected to occur at exposure levels typically encountered during normal workplace activities where proper protective equipment and hygiene procedures are employed. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. See Section 10 for Additional Toxicological Information.

HANDLING, STORAGE AND DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
Store and transport in accordance with all applicable laws. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, AND OPEN FLAME! KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED, PLAINLY LABELED AND OUT OF CLOSED VEHICLES! Containers should be able to withstand pressures expected from warming or cooling in storage. Ground all drums and transfer vessels when handling. Store in cool (80F or below), well-ventilated location. All electrical equipment in storage and/or handling areas should be installed in accordance with applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC). KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN! Empty containers retain some liquid and vapor residues, and hazard precautions must be observed when handling empty containers.
The information and conclusions herein reflect normal operating conditions and may be from sources other than direct test data on the mixture itself. The information found in this section is written for medical, toxicology, occupational health and safety professionals. This section provides technical information on the toxicity testing of this or similar materials or its components. If clarification of the technical content is needed, consult a professional in the areas of expertise listed above. Condensate is not listed as a human carcinogen by OSHA, NTP or IARC. Studies have shown that when laboratory animals are exposed to high does of whole gasoline vapor (similar to this product), kidney damage and cancer was observed in rats; liver cancer in mice. Contains benzene, a chemical known to cause cancer in humans recognized by OSHA, NTP, ACGIH and IARC. Repeated and prolonged exposure to benzene vapors may cause adverse effects on the heart and central nervous system, diseases of the blood forming organs, such as leukemia, and adverse effects on the immune system. In animal studies and in workers with chronic benzene poisoning, alterations in structure of chromosomes in bone marrow and white blood cells have been observed. Studies with laboratory animals indicate that exposure to high levels of benzene vapor may cause reproductive effects and adverse effects on offspring of pregnant animals. Benzene is controlled by OSHA standard 29CFR 1910.1028.
