POSSIBLE CANCER HAZARD
PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT
MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF SKIN CANCER
Potential Health Effects
Primary Entry Routes: Inhalation, Skin and/or Eye contact.
Target Organs: Skin, Nervous System
Carcinogenicity: IARC has classified diesel fuel as a group 2B carcinogen, sufficient evidence in animals, possibly
carcinogenic to humans. Prolonged or repeated contact with this material can cause cancer. Contains Polynuclear
aromatics, which has been designated as a carcinogen by IARC (group 1). Risk of cancer depends on duration and
level of exposure. IARC has classified diesel engine exhaust as a group 2A carcinogen, sufficient evidence in
animals, probably carcinogenic to humans.
2/14/02 MSDS No. LO0308 Off Road Diesel Fuel
Acute Effects
Inhalation: Irritation, dizziness, headaches, and nausea. Excessive breathing may cause central nervous system
effects.
Eye: May cause irritation of the eye.
Skin: Excessive skin contact may cause irritation and dermatitis.
Ingestion: Do Not Induce Vomiting. Causes nausea, vomiting, and cramping; depression of central nervous
system ranging from mild headache to anesthesia, coma, and death; pulmonary irritation secondary to exhalation of
solvent; signs of kidney and liver damage may be delayed.
Aspiration into Lungs: Causes severe lung irritation with coughing, gagging, dyspnea, substernal distress, and
rapidly developing pulmonary edema; later, signs of bronchopneumonia and pneumonitis; acute onset of central
nervous system excitement followed by depression.
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated contact with this material can cause cancer. IARC has classified diesel fuel
as a group 2B carcinogen, sufficient evidence in animals, possibly carcinogenic to humans. Contains Polynuclear
aromatics, which has been designated as a carcinogen by IARC (group 1). Risk of cancer depends on duration and
level of exposure.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or has stopped, start resuscitation, and then administer
oxygen if available. Seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove any contaminated clothing, launder or dry-clean clothing before
reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Vomiting may cause aspiration into lungs. If spontaneous vomiting is about to
occur, place victim鈥檚 head below knees. Seek medical attention.
After first aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic, or community medical support.
Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures
Flash Point: >140掳F
Flash Point Method: PM
Autoignition Temperature:
LEL: 0.9
UEL: 7.0
Flammability Classification: Combustible liquid
Extinguishing Media: Extinguish with dry chemical, CO2, foam and water fog. Solid streams of water may be
ineffective. Cool affected containers and vessels with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as great a
distance as possible. Keep run off water out of sewers and water sources. Minimize breathing of gases, vapor,
fumes, or decomposition products. Use self-contained breathing apparatus for enclosed or confined spaces or as
otherwise needed.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Do not store near strong oxidants or open flame.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Under fire conditions 鈥? May form toxic materials; carbon dioxide and
monoxide, oxides of sulfur and H2S, and other decomposition products, in the case of incomplete combustion.
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Extinguish with dry chemical, CO2, foam and water fog. Solid streams of water may be
ineffective. Cool affected containers and vessels with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as great a
distance as possible. Keep run off water out of sewers and water sources. Minimize breathing of gases, vapor,
fumes, or decomposition products.
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Use self-contained breathing apparatus for enclosed or confined spaces or as
otherwise needed. Cool exposed containers and vessels with water.

Spill /Leak Procedures: Shut off sources of ignition. Shut off leak, if possible without risk. Take up with sand or
other non-combustible, absorbent material.
Small Spills: Take up with an absorbent material and place in containers, seal tightly for proper disposal.
Large Spills: Isolate the hazard area and restrict entry to unnecessary personnel. Shut off source of leak only if it
can be done so safely or dike and contain the spill. Keep run off out of sewers and water sources. Wear appropriate
respirator and protective clothing. If possible remove product with vacuum trucks. Soak up residue with sand or
other suitable material, place in containers for proper disposal. Local, state and federal disposal regulations must be
followed.
Regulatory Requirements: Report any spills that could reach any surface waters to the U.S. Coast Guard National
Response Center (800) 424-8802.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Precautions: Do not handle or store near heat, sparks, or flame.
Storage Requirements: Do not store near strong oxidants or open flames. Avoid water contamination.

Engineering Controls
Ventilation: General mechanical with local exhaust; sufficient to maintain exposure levels below recommended
TLV.
Protective Clothing/Equipment
Gloves: Use chemical resistant gloves to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Goggles: Chemical-type goggles or face shield.
Respiratory: Self-contained, positive-pressure breathing apparatus when used in confined or enclosed space or
when exposure limits are exceeded. Organic vapor respirators can be used with good ventilation when organic
vapors are less than 1000 ppm or ten (10) times permissible exposure limit, which ever is less.
