FOOTNOTES
1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk
of harmful exposure. This zone assumes that random changes in wind direction
confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on either side of the
predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance
equal to the downwind protective action distance.
2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with
those closest to the spill and working away from the site in the downwind
direction. Within the protective action zone a level of vapour concentration
may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated
and unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible
health effects.
3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the
incident, within which a high probability of localised wind reversal may
expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to life-threatening
concentrations of the material.
4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less,
such as a drum (jerrican or box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking
less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from a small cylinder are also
considered "small spills".
LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of
greater than 200 litres, such as a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne"
compressed gas cylinder.
5 Guide 126 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH GUIDELINES
Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into
consideration reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for
other toxic effects. Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been
suggested as an additional standard. These have been established after a
literature search for the reproductive no-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL)
and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's
procedures for risk assessment for hazard identification and dose-response
assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation of such limits.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
INGREDIENT DATA
N-HEXANE:
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
Odour Threshold Value: 65 ppm
NOTE: Detector tubes for n-hexane, measuring in excess of 100 ppm, are
available commercially.
Occupational polyneuropathy may result from exposures as low as 500 ppm
(as hexane), whilst nearly continuous exposures of 250 ppm have caused
neurotoxic effects in animals. Many literature reports have failed to
distinguish hexane from n-hexane and on the assumption that the
commercial hexane contains 30% n-hexane, a worst case recommendation for
TLV is assumed to reduce the risk of peripheral neuropathies (due to the
metabolites 2,5-heptanedione and 3,6-octanedione) and other adverse
neuropathic effects.
Concurrent exposure to chemicals (including MEK) and drugs which induce
hepatic liver oxidative metabolism can reduce the time for neuropathy
to appear.
SOLVENT NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, MEDIUM ALIPHATIC:
CEL TWA: 100 ppm, 525 mg/m鲁 [Manufacturer]
Naphthas of this type produce central nervous system depression and are mild
irritants of the eyes and upper respiratory tract. The carcinogenic potential of
middle petroleum distillates is recognised and is related to the content of
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs). The TLV is thought to be protective against the acute effects of upper
respiratory tract and eye irritation and chronic systemic effects.
CAUTION: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A3
Animal carcinogen (at relatively high doses).

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the
individual.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments. The
liquid may produce gastrointestinal discomfort and may be harmful if swallowed.
Ingestion may result in nausea, pain and vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by
aspiration may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
EYE
Limited evidence or practical experience suggests, that the material may cause
eye irritation in a substantial number of individuals. Repeated or prolonged eye
contact may cause inflammation characterised by temporary redness (similar to
windburn) of the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis); temporary impairment of vision
and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may occur.
The liquid may produce eye discomfort and is capable of causing temporary
impairment of vision and/or transient eye inflammation, ulceration.
SKIN
Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic
effects may result following absorption.

CD 2006/1 Page 12 of 17
Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material either
produces inflammation of the skin in a substantial number of individuals
following direct contact, and/or produces significant inflammation when applied
to the healthy intact skin of animals, for up to four hours, such inflammation
being present twenty-four hours or more after the end of the exposure period.
Skin irritation may also be present after prolonged or repeated exposure; this
may result in a form of contact dermatitis (nonallergic). The dermatitis is
often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which may
progress to blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of the epidermis.
At the microscopic level there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
of the skin (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
Spray mist may produce discomfort.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the
course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health of the individual.
Limited evidence or practical experience suggests that the material may produce
irritation of the respiratory system, in a significant number of individuals,
following inhalation. In contrast to most organs, the lung is able to respond to
a chemical insult by first removing or neutralising the irritant and then
repairing the damage. The repair process, which initially evolved to protect
mammalian lungs from foreign matter and antigens, may however, produce further
lung damage resulting in the impairment of gas exchange, the primary function of
the lungs. Respiratory tract irritation often results in an inflammatory
response involving the recruitment and activation of many cell types, mainly
derived from the vascular system.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be
accompanied by narcosis, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of
coordination and vertigo.
Acute effects from inhalation of high concentrations of vapour are pulmonary
irritation, including coughing, with nausea; central nervous system depression -
characterised by headache and dizziness, increased reaction time, fatigue and
loss of co-ordination.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
WARNING:Intentional misuse by concentrating/inhaling contents may be lethal.
The use of a quantity of material in an unventilated or confined space may
result in increased exposure and an irritating atmosphere developing.
Before starting consider control of exposure by mechanical ventilation.
High inhaled concentrations of mixed hydrocarbons may produce narcosis
characterised by nausea, vomiting and lightheadedness. Inhalation of aerosols
may produce severe pulmonary oedema, pneumonitis and pulmonary haemorrhage.
Inhalation of petroleum hydrocarbons consisting substantially of low molecular
weight species (typically C2-C12) may produce irritation of mucous membranes,
incoordination, giddiness, nausea, vertigo, confusion, headache, appetite loss,
drowsiness, tremors and anaesthetic stupor. Massive exposures may produce
central nervous system depression with sudden collapse and deep coma; fatalities
have been recorded. Irritation of the brain and/or apnoeic anoxia may produce
convulsions. Although recovery following overexposure is generally complete,
cerebral micro-haemorrhage of focal post-inflammatory scarring may produce
epileptiform seizures some months after the exposure. Pulmonary episodes may

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
include chemical pneumonitis with oedema and haemorrhage. The lighter
hydrocarbons may produce kidney and neurotoxic effects. Pulmonary irritancy
increases with carbon chain length for paraffins and olefins. Alkenes produce
pulmonary oedema at high concentrations. Liquid paraffins may produce
anaesthesia and depressant actions leading to weakness, dizziness, slow and
shallow respiration, unconsciousness, convulsions and death. C5-7 paraffins may
also produce polyneuropathy. Aromatic hydrocarbons accumulate in lipid rich
tissues (typically the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves) and may produce
functional impairment manifested by nonspecific symptoms such as nausea,
weakness, fatigue and vertigo; severe exposures may produce inebriation or
unconsciousness. Many of the petroleum hydrocarbons are cardiac sensitisers and
may cause ventricular fibrillations.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal route of occupational exposure to the gas is by inhalation. On the
basis, primarily, of animal experiments, concern has been expressed by at least
one classification body that the material may produce carcinogenic or mutagenic
effects; in respect of the available information, however, there presently
exists inadequate data for making a satisfactory assessment. Limited evidence
suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative
health effects involving organs or biochemical systems. Harmful: danger of
serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Serious
damage (clear functional disturbance or morphological change which may have
toxicological significance) is likely to be caused by repeated or prolonged
exposure. As a rule the material produces, or contains a substance which
produces severe lesions. Such damage may become apparent following direct
application in subchronic (90 day) toxicity studies or following sub-acute (28
day) or chronic (two-year) toxicity tests. Exposure to the material may cause
concerns for human fertility, generally on the basis that results in animal
studies provide sufficient evidence to cause a strong suspicion of impaired
fertility in the absence of toxic effects, or evidence of impaired fertility
occurring at around the same dose levels as other toxic effects, but which are
not a secondary non-specific consequence of other toxic effects. Chronic
inhalation or skin exposure to n-hexane may cause peripheral neuropathy, which
is damage to nerve ends in extremities, e.g. fingers, with loss of sensation and
characteristic thickening. Nerve damage has been documented with chronic
exposures of greater than 500 ppm. Improvement in condition does not immediately
follow removal from exposure and symptoms may progress for two or three months.
Recovery may take a year or more depending on severity of exposure, and may not
always be complete. Exposure to n-hexane with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) will
accelerate the appearance of damage, but MEK alone will not cause the nerve
damage. Other isomers of hexane do not cause nerve damage. [Source: Shell Co.].
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and
liver and blood changes. [PATTYS].
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Marine Pollutant:Not Determined
The lower molecular weight hydrocarbons are expected to form a "slick" on the
surface of waters after release in calm sea conditions. This is expected to
evaporate and enter the atmosphere where it will be degraded through reaction
with hydroxy radicals.
Some of the material will become associated with benthic sediments, and it is
likely to be spread over a fairly wide area of sea floor. Marine sediments may
be either aerobic or anaerobic. The material, in probability, is biodegradable,
under aerobic conditions (isomerised olefins and alkenes show variable results).
Evidence also suggests that the hydrocarbons may be degradable under anaerobic
conditions although such degradation in benthic sediments may be a relatively
slow process.
Under aerobic conditions the material will degrade to water and carbon dioxide,
while under anaerobic processes it will produce water, methane and carbon
dioxide.
Based on test results, as well as theoretical considerations, the potential for
bioaccumulation may be high. Toxic effects are often observed in species such as
blue mussel, daphnia, freshwater green algae, marine copepods and amphipods.
Drinking Water Standards:
