Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION OF EXCESSIVE CONCENTRATIONS
OF VAPOR/MIST CAN BE IRRITATING TO RESPIRATORY PASSAGES. PROLONGED
OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF HAIR FOLLICLES &
BLOCK SEBACEOUS GLANDS. THIS PRODUCES A RASH OF ACNE PIMPLES &
SPOTS USUALLY ON ARMS & LEGS. GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE WILL PREVENT
(EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:THIS. HEAVY, REPEATED APPLICATION OF
FUEL OIL NO.6 TO RABBIT SKIN GAVE SEVERE SKIN CHANGES & TOXICITY.
CHEM PNEUMONITIS MAY RESULT WHEN INGEST OCCURS & OIL IS ASPIRATED
INTO LUNGS. HDCH, VOMI T, NAUSEA, DIZZ & LOSS OF COORD ALONG W/SKIN
IRRIT & PIMPLES ARE INDICATIVE OF EXPOS. TARGET ORGANS:SKIN, EYES &
URT.
