LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HEATED PROD MAY CAUSE IRRIT TO EYES,
SKIN & LUNGS AFTER PRLNG/RPTD EXPOS; HOT ASPHALT CAN CAUSE THERMAL
BURNS & UNHEATED ASPHALT CAN CAUSE IRRIT. OVEREXP TO FUMES OF
HEATED PROD SHOULD BE AVOIDED. INT 'L AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON
CANCER, IARC,CONDUCTED A THOROUGH LITERATURE SEARCH IN 1985 &
DETERMINED (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: THAT THERE IS INADEQ EVIDENCE FOR
CARCIN OF UNDILUTED AIR-REFINED ASPHALT IN ANIMALS/HUMANS. IARC
ALSO CONCLUDED THAT MOUSE SKIN PAINTING STUDIES SHOWED THAT
EXTRACTS OF ASPHALTS CAUSED SKIN TUMORS. HOWEVER, THESE EXTRACTS
WERE DERIVED BY USING BENZENE/TOLUENE AS SOLV & RSLTG EXTRACT DOES
NOT (SUPP DATA)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BRTHG, GIVE ARTF RESP. IF
BRTHG IS DFCLT, GIVE O*2. CALL PHYS. SKIN: IMMED WASH W/SOAP/H*2O.
WASH CONTAMD CLTHG BEFORE REUSE. EXPOS TO HOT MATL: COOL IMMED
W/COLD H* 2O. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MATL. CONSULT PHYS. EYE:
IMMED FLUSH W/PLENTY OF H*2O FOR @ LST 15 MIN. CALL PHYS. INGEST:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMIT. IMMED GIVE 2 GLASSES OF H*2O. NEVER GIVE
ANYTHING (ING 10)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING MATERIAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT . KEEP PERSONNEL REMOVED & UPWIND OF FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:STEAM MAY EVOLVE IN FIRE SITUATION. IF
ALL WATER IS BOILED OFF, MATERIAL WILL EXHIBIT PROPERTIES OF
ASPHALT. SEE ASPHALT MSDS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
Spill Release Procedures:NOTE: REVIEW FIRE & EXPLO HAZ & SFTY PREC
BEFORE PROCEEDING W/CLEAN UP. USE APPROP PERSONAL PROT EQUIP DURING
CLEAN UP. DIKE SPILL. PVNT LIQ FROM ENTERING SEWERS/WATERWAYS/LOW
AREAS. RECOVER FREE LIQ FOR REUSE/RECLAMATION. RECOVER UNDAMAGED
(ING 13)
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT STORE OVER 180F NOR USE HEATING
SURF OVER 200F @ SEA LEVEL.
Other Precautions:REFER TO THE FOLLOWING PUBLICATION ENTITLED "SAFE
STORAGE & HANDLING OF HOT ASPHALT"; THE ASPHALT INSTITUTE,
INFORMATION SERIES NO. 180, AUGUST 1981. SKIN CONT SHOULD BE
MINIMIZED. CLEAN EXPOS SKIN W/ WATERLESS HAND CLEANER FOLLOWED (ING
15)
Respiratory Protection:SELECT APPROP NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD RESP PROT WHERE
NEC TO MAINTAIN EXPOS BELOW ACCEPTABLE LIM. PROP RESP SELECTION
SHOULD BE DETERM BY ADEQUATELY TRAINED PERS & BASED ON CONTAMS,
DEGREE OF POTNTL EXPOS & PUBLISHED RESP PROT FACTORS.
Ventilation:NORM VENT UNLESS VAPS/FUME CONCENTRATIONS ARE HIGH, THEN
MECHANICAL VENTILATION SHOULD BE USED.
Protective Gloves:NBR/NEOPRENE. USE INSULATED (ING 16)
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:COMPLETE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IF MATERIAL IS
BEING HANDLED HOT. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. WASH CLOTHING
AFTER USE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EFTS OF OVEREXP: REALISTICALLY CHARACTERIZE ASPHALT TO WHICH HUMANS ARE
EXPOS. SAME CRITICISM APPLIES TO RECENT STUDIES WHERE ROOFING
ASPHALT FUME CONDENSATE/STEAM-REFINED ASPHALT CAUSED SKIN CANCER I
N SIMILAR MOUSE PAINTING STUDIES. THESEANIMAL DATA SHOULD BE
INTERPRETED CAUTIOUSLY SINCE HLTH EFTS MAY BE (ING 2)
