Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC
Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort
characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
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
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern
following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. Repeated or prolonged
exposure to mixed hydrocarbons may produce narcosis with dizziness, weakness,
irritability, concentration and/or memory loss, tremor in the fingers and
tongue, vertigo, olfactory disorders, constriction of visual field,
paraesthesias of the extremities, weight loss and anaemia and degenerative
changes in the liver and kidney. Chronic exposure by petroleum workers, to the
lighter hydrocarbons, has been associated with visual disturbances, damage to
the central nervous system, peripheral neuropathies (including numbness and
paraesthesias), psychological and neurophysiological deficits, bone marrow
toxicities (including hypoplasia possibly due to benzene) and hepatic and renal
involvement. Chronic dermal exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons may result in
defatting which produces localised dermatoses. Surface cracking and erosion may
also increase susceptibility to infection by microorganisms. One epidemiological
study of petroleum refinery workers has reported elevations in standard
mortality ratios for skin cancer along with a dose-response relationship
indicating an association between routine workplace exposure to petroleum or one
