SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Black. Liquid. May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system. Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid
further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system.
:
Eyes Direct contact may cause mild irritation.
:
Ingestion May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
:
Skin May cause mild irritation. May cause sensitization resulting in irritation, itching and
:
redness. May cause a rash.
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
Prolonged or repeated skin contact with asphalt may result in skin sensitivity, such as irritation, rashes, and
dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other volatiles which are
contained in trace amounts in asphalt have been shown to cause cancer or respiratory damage in animals. The
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified ceramic fiber, fibrous glasswool, and
mineral wool (rockwool and slagwool) as possible human carcinogens (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence
of carcinogenicity in animals but insufficient data in humans. In the National Toxicology Program's (NTP) 7th
Annual Report on Carcinogens (1994), respirable glasswool was classified as reasonably anticipated to be
carcinogenic. Inhalation of crystalline silica (quartz) can cause cancer based on animal data, and IARC
concludes sufficient evidence in humans (Group 1). Prolonged and repeated overexposure to free crystalline
silica dust above the TLV level may cause scarring of the lungs with cough and shortness of breath. A delayed
lung injury, silicosis may result from breathing free silica. OSHA considers fibrous glass dust a nuisance dust.
Fibrous glass can cause dermatitis, local irritation. Long term overexposure to propylene glycol caused liver
abnormalities, kidney damage in laboratory animals. Repeated excessive ingestion may cause central nervous
system effects. Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released from product under normal conditions
of use.
Target Organs: Skin, Eye, Lung
