Asphalt is a complex mixture of high molecular weight hydrocarbons. It is the non-volatile residue from petroleum refining. Its exact composition depends on the
source of the crude oil from which it was produced and the refining methods used.

Mechanical impact Not expected to be sensitive Static discharge Vapour may be sensitive
Explosion data: Sensitivity
Means of extinction Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, or water spray.
Special precautions Vapour is heavier than air. It will spread along the ground & collect in low or confined areas (sewers,
basements). Also travels to source of ignition and flashes back. Containers may explode when heated.

SECTION 6 鈥? HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Inhalation Ingestion Eye
Route of Entry Hazardous Contact
Skin absorption Eye Skin contact
Second- and third-degree burns from contact with hot liquid. Dermatitis.
Acute exposure
H2S is very toxic. At concentrations as low as 1 to 5 ppm, nausea and severe eye irritation may occur. Sense
of smell may be impaired at about 20 ppm, with headache and respiratory tract irritation. At 250 to 500 ppm,
potentially fatal pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) may occur. Dizziness, sudden (often fatal) collapse,
unconsciousness, and death occur at higher concentrations.
Note: Pulmonary edema may be delayed as long as 48 hours after exposure.
Chronic exposure Dermatitis. Acne-like lesions. Pigmentation of skin.
EPA and NIOSH identify asphalt fumes as Irritancy Vapour or fume causes eyes, skin,
Carcinogenicity
carcinogenic. IARC鈥檚 classification is 鈥減ossibly and respiratory tract irritation.
carcinogenic to humans鈥?. ACGIH: Not classifiable Yes, including photosensitization

or NTP鈥檚 carcinogen lists. Certain PAHs are Reproductive toxicity Not available
Teratogenicity Not available

available. Apply CPR if both pulse and breathing have stopped. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Not applicable
Ingestion
Flush eye with lukewarm, gently flowing fresh water for at least 10 minutes. Get medical help.
Eye
Use ice or cold water to cool the affected area as quickly as possible. Gently remove contaminated clothing and
Skin
shoes. Do not attempt to remove product from skin without medical assistance. Wash gently and thoroughly with
water and non-abrasive soap to remove product dust. Get medical help.
SECTION 8 鈥? PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
Do not attempt rescue of an H2S knockdown victim without the use of proper respiratory protective equipment.
Gloves Heat-protective gloves.
Personal
Eye Face shield, as a good general safety practice.
protective
equipment Respiratory NIOSH-approved. SCBA or air line respirator with escape cylinder for confined spaces.. If an air-
purifying respirator is appropriate, use a 鈥淧 series鈥? filter & organic vapour cartridges. A powered air-
purifying respirator may be needed if the exposed person is sensitized. A qualified occupational
health and safety professional should advise on respirator selection.
Clothing & Coveralls to prevent skin contact. Neck closed and sleeves rolled down. Natural fibres are preferred.
footwear If clothing or footwear becomes contaminated with product, completely decontaminate it before re-
use, or discard it.
Enclose processes. Use local exhaust ventilation to remove vapour at its site of generation. Handle laboratory
Engineering
samples in a fume hood. Use mechanical ventilation in confined spaces.
controls
Avoid over-heating product, in order to minimize vapour and fume production. Use non-sparking equipment,
Handling
procedures & explosion-proof ventilation, and intrinsically safe electrical equipment. Ground handling equipment. Have clean
equipment emergency eyewash and shower readily available in the work area.
Keep unauthorized persons away Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Stop leak if it can be done
Leak & spill
safely. Prevent entry into sewers, waterways, or confined spaces. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other
Procedure
non-combustible material and use clean, non-sparking tools to transfer to container.
Allow product to cool and solidify. Consult local authorities for advice on disposal methods.
Waste
Usually stored at elevated temperatures. Containers should be vented and equipped with a flame arrester.
Storage
May be transported hot. Stable during transport.
