3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Combustible liquid. Eye Irritant. Skin Irritant. Liver Toxin. Nervous System Toxin. Lung Aspiration Hazard.
Potential Acute Health Effects
Eye Contact: Eye Irritant. May cause severe irritation.
Skin Contact: Skin Irritant. May cause severe irritation. Minimize skin contact. This chemical is readily
absorbed through the skin in liquid or vapor phase.
Inhalation: Inhaled hydrocarbons cause central nervous system depression at high concentrations
resulting in headache, dizziness, and ultimately unconsciousness.
Ingestion: May be irritating to intestines causing nausea and vomiting. If swallowed, may be
aspirated resulting in inflammation and possible fluid accumulation in the lungs.
Aggravated Medical Skin Disorders.
Conditions:
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation or adverse
symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation or adverse
symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing ceases,
administer artificial respiration followed by oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
Notes To Physician: Gastric lavage using a cuffed endotracheal tube may be performed at your discretion.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Emergency Response Guidebook ID No. 1863, Guide No. 128
Flash Point: 100-150F (38-66C)
FP Method: TCC, ASTM D-56
Ignition Temperature: 460F (238C)
Flammable Limits (% by Volume in Air)
Lower Explosive Limit - 0.6
Upper Explosive Limit - 4.7
Fire Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemicals, Foam
Philjet庐 A Aviation Fuel Page 3 of 7
Fire Fighting Procedures: Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Shut off source, if possible. Use
NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus and other protective
equipment and/or garments described in Section 8 if conditions warrant. Use water
spray to cool nearby containers and structures exposed to fire. Do not spray water
directly on fire - product will float and could be reignited on surface of water.
Fire and explosion hazards: Carbon oxides and various hydrocarbons forms when burned. Highly flammable
vapors which are heavier than air may accumulate in low areas and/or spread
along ground away from handling site.Flash back along vapor trail is possible.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel. Wear protective equipment and/or garments described in Section 8
exposure conditions warrant. Shut off source, if possible and contain spill. Protect from ignition. Keep out of water
sources and sewers. Absorb in a dry, inert material (sand, clay, etc.). Transfer to disposal drums using non-
sparking equipment.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
DO NOT get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. DO NOT breathe vapor, mist, fume or dust. DO NOT swallow. May
be aspirated into lungs. Wear protective equipment and/or garments described in Section 8 if exposure conditions
warrant. Wash thoroughly after handling. Immediately remove and launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in well-ventilated area. Store in closed container. Bond and
ground during transfer.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection: Use safety glasses with side shields.
Respiratory Protection: For concentrations exceeding an applicable exposure limit, use NIOSH approved
air purifying respirator equipped with:
- Organic vapor cartridges.
Air purifying respirators should NOT be used in:
- Situations that exceed the maximum use concentrations of the respirator or air-
purifying element established by regulatory standards.
- Atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen.
- Atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)
When entering or exiting from areas where the exposure concentration is unknown
or if conditions immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) exist, use a NIOSH
approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or equivalent operated in a
pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Skin Protection: Use gloves resistant to the material being used (Viton, nitrile). This material is a
skin irritant. Use additional protective garments to prevent skin contact based on
use.
Ventilation: Use adequate ventilation to control concentrations below applicable exposure
limits.
Other Personal Protection: Personal protection information shown in Section 8 is based upon general
information as to normal uses and conditions. Where special or unusual uses or
conditions exist, it is suggested that the expert assistance of an industrial hygienist
Philjet庐 A Aviation Fuel Page 4 of 7
or other qualified professional be sought.
Exposure Limits: See Section 2 (Composition/Information on Ingredients).

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Subchronic and Chronic Effects:
Jet Fuel A contains Benzene, a known human carcinogen. However, Jet Fuel A studies in Sweden and Canada
have resulted in contradictory reports. The Swedish Air Force reported no increased cancer risk during 10 years
of follow-up. A study in Canada reported an elevated risk of kidney cancer in men exposed to jet fuel.
No embryotoxic, fetotoxic or teratogenic effect was observed following exposure of rats by inhalation to 100 and
400 ppm Jet Fuel A.
Jet Fuel A applied to the skin of rabbits for 2 weeks caused skin corrosion and liver toxicity.
In a study of 30 workers exposed to jet fuel vapor (avg., 300 mg/m3; 17 years employed), a higher prevalence of
psychiatric symptoms, poorer performance in some psychological tests and reduced sensorimotor speed were
reported.
Other Health Effects:
Combustion (burning) of most carbon-containing material forms carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide inhalation
may cause carboxyhemoglobinemia. Chronic exposure to carbon monoxide causes fatigue, poor memory, loss of
sensation in fingers, visual disturbances and insomnia. Carboxyhemoglobinemia is frequently misdiagnosed as
flu.
Sensitive sub-populations to the inhalation of carbon monoxide exist. Carbon monoxide displaces oxygen in the
bloodstream and therefore, can adversely effect people with pre-existing heart disease, pregnant women and
smokers.
Jet Fuel A did not interact with genetic material in a test tube assay (Ames bacterial test). However, it did cause
changes in genetic material in the bone marrow of male and female rats when they were exposed by inhalation

20 days to 100 ppm or 5 days to 400 ppm.
Acute Data:
Jet Fuel A: Dermal LD50 > 5 ml/kg; LC50 = No data available; Oral LD50 > 25 ml/kg (Rat).
