Vapour is heavier than air and may collect in drains or other low
areas. Electrically ground all drums, transfer vessels, hoses and
piping. Rags or other combustible material wet or soaked in
limonene may autoxidise, generating heat and igniting
spontaneously. Used oily rags should be collected regularly and
