Personal Protective Equipment: Ears
Use ear protection (earplugs, hood, or earmuffs) to prevent liquid from entering the ear, if necessary.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Solvent-resistant gloves are recommended.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
When applying with a brush or broom: Respiratory protection is not required if mechanical or dilution ventilation is sufficient to
keep the exposure levels below the applicable exposure limits.
When applying with a sprayer: A respirator should be used if ventilation is inadequate or unavailable. Use a NIOSH-approved
organic vapor respirator to protect against inhalation of vapors.
Ventilation
Local exhaust or general dilution ventilation should be provided to keep exposure levels below the applicable exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Normal work clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended.

Chronic Toxicity
Asphalt (asphalt CAS # 8052-42-4 and oxidized asphalt 64742-93-4; bitumens): In 1985/87, IARC (International Agency for
Research on Cancer) concluded the following: (a) Bitumens are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group
3). (b) Extracts of steam- and air-refined bitumens are possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). IARC found that evidence
for carcinogenicity from animal studies was: inadequate for undiluted air-refined bitumens; limited for steam-refined and
cracking-residue bitumens; sufficient for extracts of steam-refined and air-refined bitumen. IARC found that human evidence
for carcinogenicity of asphalt fumes was inadequate. Studies of roofers indicated an excess of cancers; however, IARC
concluded that, since roofers may be exposed also to coal-tar pitches and other materials, "the excess cancer risk cannot be
attributed specifically to bitumens." In 1994, a published review of 20 epidemiology studies of asphalt workers and roofers
agreed with IARC, that current human evidence is inadequate for the carcinogenicity of asphalt fumes in humans. Trace
amounts of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may be present in some asphalts and can be released upon excessive
heating, which results in thermal cracking of the asphalt compounds. Some of these PAHs have been identified as having the
potential to induce carcinogenic and reproductive health effects.
