GASOLINE IS EITHER A CLEAR OR COLORED LIQUID WITH A STRONG HYDROCARBON
ODOR. GASOLINE IS A VOLATILE AND EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND MAY CAUSE
FLASH FIRES. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS OR FLAME. GASOLINE CAN ALSO
CONTAIN SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF BENZENE WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE
CANCER OR BE TOXIC TO BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS. NEVER SIPHON THIS PRODUCT BY
MOUTH. IF SWALLOWED, GASOLINE MAY GET SUCKED INTO THE LUNGS (ASPIRATED)
AND CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE OR EVEN DEATH.
OSHA WARNING LABEL:
DANGER!
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
ASPIRATION (INADVERTENT SUCTION) OF LIQUID INTO THE LUNGS
CAN PRODUCE CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA OR EVEN DEATH.
CONTAINS BENZENE WHICH MAY CAUSE
CANCER OR BE TOXIC TO BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS.
CONSUMER WARNING LABEL:
GASOLINE HEALTH & SAFETY WARNING
- EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, VAPORS MAY EXPLODE
- HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED
- LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO VAPORS HAS CAUSED CANCER IN LABORATORY ANIMALS
- KEEP FACE AWAY FROM NOZZLE WHILE FILLING
- KEEP NOZZLE AWAY FROM EYES AND SKIN
- NEVER SIPHON BY MOUTH
- DON'T OVERFILL TANK
FOR USE AS A MOTOR FUEL ONLY
EYE IRRITATION MAY RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID OR EXPOSURE TO VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE THE TLV.
PROLONGED OR REPEATED LIQUID CONTACT CAN DEFAT THE SKIN AND LEAD TO IRRITATION AND/OR DERMATITIS.
EXPOSURE TO VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS EXCEEDING 1,000 PPM CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA AND LOSS OF COORDINATION. HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, CARDIAC SENSITIZATION, COMA AND DEATH RESULTING FROM RESPIRATORY FAILURE. INTENTIONAL OVEREXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF GASOLINE VAPORS (SUCH AS GASOLINE SNIFFING) CAN CAUSE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND BRAIN DAMAGE, CONVULSIONS AND SUDDEN DEATH FROM CARDIAC ARREST.
INGESTION MAY RESULT IN NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA AND RESTLESSNESS. ASPIRATION (INADVERTENT SUCTION) OF LIQUID INTO THE LUNGS MUST BE AVOIDED AS EVEN SMALL QUANTITIES IN THE LUNGS CAN PRODUCE CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS, PULMONARY EDEMA/HEMORRHAGE AND EVEN DEATH.
THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF GASOLINE IN HUMANS. IARC DETERMINED THAT LIMITED EVIDENCE OF CARCINOGENICITY IN ANIMALS EXISTS. IARC'S OVERALL EVALUATION OF GASOLINE, IN SPITE OF LIMITED CARCINOGENICITY EVIDENCE, HAS RESULTED IN THE IARC DESIGNATION OF GASOLINE AS POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP 2B) BECAUSE GASOLINE CONTAINS BENZENE. THE NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM (NTP), OSHA AND IARC HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF BENZENE IN HUMANS (GROUP 1A). IARC HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST IN HUMANS OR ANIMALS. HOWEVER, IARC'S OVERALL EVALUATION ON GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST, IN SPITE OF THE ABSENCE OF CARCINOGENICITY DATA, HAS RESULTED IN THE IARC DESIGNATION OF GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST AS POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP 2B) BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF CERTAIN ENGINE EXHAUST COMPONENTS.
PRE-EXISTING EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY, LIVER AND/OR KIDNEY DISORDERS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO GASOLINE.
FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF SYMPTOMS OR IRRITATION OCCUR, CALL A PHYSICIAN.

THIS MATERIAL HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A FLAMMABLE LIQUID. VAPORS MAY TRAVEL ALONG THE GROUND OR BE MOVED BY VENTILATION AND IGNITED BY MANY SOURCES SUCH AS PILOT LIGHTS, SPARKS, ELECTRIC MOTORS, STATIC DISCHARGE, OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES AT LOCATIONS DISTANT FROM MATERIAL HANDLING. FLASHBACK MAY OCCUR ALONG VAPOR TRAIL. FOR ADDITIONAL FIRE RELATED INFORMATION, SEE NFPA 30 OR NORTH AMERICAN EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDE 128.
FOR SMALL FIRES, CLASS B FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SUCH AS CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM (AFFF/ATC) OR WATER SPRAY CAN BE USED. FOR LARGE FIRES, WATER SPRAY, FOG OR FOAM (AFFF/ATC) CAN BE USED. FIRE FIGHTING SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED ONLY BY THOSE WHO ARE ADEQUATELY TRAINED AND EQUIPPED WITH PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
AVOID USE OF STRAIGHT WATER STREAMS. WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE IN EXTINGUISHING LOW FLASH POINT FIRES, BUT CAN BE USED TO COOL EXPOSED SURFACES. AVOID EXCESSIVE WATER SPRAY APPLICATION. WATER SPRAY AND FOAM (AFFF/ATC) MUST BE APPLIED CAREFULLY TO AVOID FROTHING AND FROM AS FAR A DISTANCE AS POSSIBLE. KEEP RUN-OFF WATER OUT OF SEWERS AND WATER SOURCES.
ISOLATE AND EVACUATE AREA. SHUT OFF SOURCE IF SAFE TO DO SO. ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. ADVISE NATIONAL RESPONSE CENTER (800-424-8802) IF PRODUCT HAS ENTERED A WATERWAY. NOTIFY LOCAL HEALTH AND POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCIES, IF APPROPRIATE. CONTAIN LIQUID WITH SAND OR SOIL. RECOVER AND RETURN FREE LIQUID TO PROPER CONTAINERS. USE SUITABLE ABSORBENT MATERIALS SUCH AS VERMICULITE, SAND OR CLAY TO CLEAN UP RESIDUAL LIQUIDS.
FOR USE AS A MOTOR FUEL ONLY. GASOLINE SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A SOLVENT DUE TO ITS FLAMMABLE AND POTENTIALLY TOXIC PROPERTIES. SIPHONING BY MOUTH CAN RESULT IN LUNG ASPIRATION WHICH CAN BE HARMFUL OR FATAL. PORTABLE CONTAINERS OF 12 GALLONS (45 LITERS) OR LESS SHOULD NEVER BE FILLED WITH GASOLINE WHILE THEY ARE IN OR ON A MOTOR VEHICLE OR MARINE CRAFT. STATIC ELECTRIC DISCHARGE CAN IGNITE FUEL VAPORS WHEN FILLING NON-GROUNDED CONTAINERS OR VEHICLES ON TRAILERS. CONTAINERS SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE GROUND. THE NOZZLE SPOUT MUST BE KEPT IN CONTACT WITH THE CONTAINER BEFORE AND DURING THE ENTIRE FILLING OPERATION. USE ONLY APPROVED CONTAINERS. COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE OSHA, NFPA AND CONSISTENT LOCAL REQUIREMENTS. USE APROPRIATE GROUNDING AND BONDING PRACTICES. STORE IN PROPERLY CLOSED CONTAINERS THAT ARE APPROPRIATELY LABELED AND IN A COOL WELL-VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT EXPOSE TO HEAT, OPEN FLAME, OXIDIZERS OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. DO NOT CUT, DRILL, GRIND OR WELD ON EMPTY CONTAINERS SINCE THEY MAY CONTAIN EXPLOSIVE RESIDUES. AVOID SKIN CONTACT. EXERCISE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE INCLUDING REMOVAL OF SOILED CLOTHING AND PROMPT WASHING WITH SOAP AND WATER.
LOCAL OR GENERAL EXHAUST REQUIRED IN AN ENCLOSED AREA OR WITH INADEQUATE VENTILATION.
APPROVED ORGANIC VAPOR CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE OR SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATORS SHOULD BE WORN FOR EXPOSURES EXCEEDING THE TLV OR STEL. OBSERVE RESPIRATOR PROTECTION FACTOR CRITERIA CITED IN ANSI Z88.2. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE USED FOR FIRE FIGHTING.
USE NITRILE RUBBER, VITON OR PVA GLOVES FOR REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN EXPOSURE.

ANIMAL STUDIES: LIFETIME INHALATION STUDIES WITH FULL VAPORIZED GASOLINE (67, 292 AND 2,056 PPM) PRODUCED KIDNEY DAMAGE AND KIDNEY TUMORS IN MALE RATS BUT NOT IN FEMALE RATS OR MALE AND FEMALE MICE. FEMALE MICE DEVELOPED A SLIGHTLY HIGHER INCIDENCE OF LIVER TUMORS COMPARED TO CONTROLS AT THE HIGHEST EXPOSURE LEVEL. RESULTS FROM SEPARATE STUDIES WITH COMPOUNDS PRODUCING SIMILAR EFFECTS, I.E., 1,4-DICHLOROBENZENE AND PERCHLOROETHYLENE, HAVE SHOWN THAT THE KIDNEY DAMAGE AND KIDNEY TUMORS DEVELOP VIA THE FORMATION OF ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, A MECHANISM UNIQUE TO THE MALE RAT. HUMANS DO NOT FORM ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, THEREFORE, TUMORS RESULTING FROM THIS MECHANISM ARE NOT RELEVANT IN HUMANS. THE BIOLOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MOUSE LIVER TUMOR RESPONSE WITH REGARD TO HUMAN HEALTH RISK IS QUESTIONABLE. GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST ANIMAL STUDIES: COMBUSTION OF GASOLINE PRODUCES GASES AND PARTICULATES WHICH INCLUDE CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, OXIDES OF NITROGEN AND/OR SULFUR AND HYDROCARBONS. EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) CAN CAUSE HYPOXIA VIA THE FORMATION OF CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN. OVEREXPOSURE TO CO CAN CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, COMA AND DEATH. CHRONIC INHALATION STUDIES OF GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST IN MICE, RATS AND HAMSTERS DID NOT PRODUCE ANY CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS. CONDENSATES/EXTRACTS OF GASOLINE ENGINE EXHAUST PRODUCED AN INCREASE IN TUMORS COMPARED TO CONTROLS WHEN TESTING BY SKIN PAINTING, SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION, INTRATRACHEAL INSTILLATION OR IMPLANTATION INTO THE LUNGS. SUMMARY OF HEALTH EFFECT DATA ON GASOLINE COMPONENTS: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS BENZENE AT A LEVEL OF> 0.1%. REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO BENZENE AT CONCENTRATIONS IN EXCESS OF THE TLV MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS. SIGNIFICANT CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO BENZENE VAPOR HAS BEEN REPORTED TO PRODUCE VARIOUS BLOOD DISORDERS RANGING FROM ANEMIA TO CANCER (DIFFERENT FORMS OF LEUKEMIA) IN MAN. BENZENE PRODUCED TUMORS IN RATS AND MICE IN LIFETIME CHRONIC TOXICITY STUDIES, BUT THE RESPONSE HAS NOT BEEN CONSISTENT ACROSS SPECIES, STRAIN, SEX OR ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. ANIMAL STUDIES ON BENZENE HAVE DEMONSTRATED IMMUNE TOXICITY, CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATIONS, TESTICULAR EFFECTS AND ALTERATIONS IN REPRODUCTIVE CYCLES AND EMBRYO/FETOTOXICITY, BUT NOT TERATOGENICITY. THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE) AT A LEVEL OF >1.0%. INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF MTBE INDUCES CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION IN RODENTS. EXPOSURE TO MTBE VAPORS PRODUCED EMBRYO/ FETOTOXICITY (INCLUDING CLEFT PALATE) IN MICE BUT NO DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY IN RABBITS AT MATERNALLY TOXIC DOSES. MTBE DID NOT PRODUCE GENETIC TOXICITY IN SEVERAL MUTATION ASSAYS BUT DID CAUSE MUTATION IN A MOUSE LYMPHOMA TEST WITH METABOLIC ACTIVATION. LIFETIME INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF MTBE (3,000 AND 8,000 PPM) PRODUCED EARLY MORTALITY, KIDNEY DAMAGE AND KIDNEY TUMORS IN MALE RATS. FEMALE MICE DEVELOPED A SLIGHTLY HIGHER INCIDENCE OF LIVER TUMORS COMPARED TO CONTROLS AT THE HIGHEST EXPOSURE LEVEL. SEPARATE STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THE KIDNEY TUMORS DEVELOP VIA THE FORMATION OF ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, A MECHANISM UNIQUE TO THE MALE RAT. HUMANS DO NOT FORM ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, THEREFORE, TUMORS RESULTING FROM THIS MECHANISM ARE NOT RELEVANT IN HUMANS. THE BIOLOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MOUSE LIVER TUMOR RESPONSE WITH REGARD TO HUMAN HEALTH RISK IS QUESTIONABLE. THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN ETHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (ETBE) AT A LEVEL OF >1.0%. INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF ETBE INDUCED CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION IN RODENTS. SUBCHRONIC INHALATION EXPOSURE TO 4,000- 5,000 PPM ETBE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO PRODUCE LIVER DAMAGE (HEPATOCELLULAR HYPERTROPHY) IN MICE AND A SPECIES SPECIFIC, SEX HORMONAL DEPENDENT KIDNEY LESION IN MALE RATS. DEGENERATIVE CHANGES WERE ALSO OBSERVED IN MALE RAT TESTES AT 1,750 AND 5,000 PPM. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE KIDNEY DAMAGE DEVELOPS VIA THE FORMATION OF ALPHA-2U-GLOBULIN, A MECHANISM UNIQUE TO THE MALE RAT. ETBE WAS FOUND TO BE NEGATIVE IN A NUMBER OF MUTAGENICITY ASSAYS. THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN TERTIARY AMYL METHYL ETHER (TAME) AT A LEVEL OF >1.0%. INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF TAME INDUCES CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION IN RODENTS. EXPOSURE TO TAME VAPORS PRODUCED FETOTOXICITY AND DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY (INCLUDING CLEFT PALATE AND ENLARGED LATERAL CEREBRAL VENTRICLES) IN MICE BUT NO DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY IN RATS AT MATERNALLY TOXIC DOSES. TAME WAS FOUND TO BE NEGATIVE IN A NUMBER OF MUTAGENICITY ASSAYS BUT DID CAUSE MUTATION IN AN IN VITRO CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATION ASSAY USING CHINESE HAMSTER OVARY CELLS. SUBCHRONIC INHALATION EXPOSURE TO 3,500-4,000 PPM TAME HAS BEEN SHOWN TO PRODUCE LIVER DAMAGE (HEPATOCELLULAR HYPERTROPHY) IN MICE AND A SPECIES SPECIFIC, SEX HORMONAL DEPENDENT KIDNEY LESION IN MALE RATS. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE KIDNEY DAMAGE DEVELOPS VIA THE FORMATION OF ALPHA-2U- GLOBULIN, A MECHANISM UNIQUE TO THE MALE RAT. COMPONENTS OF GASOLINE DO NOT PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISK IN THE CONCENTRATIONS PRESENT IN GASOLINE AT EXPOSURES NOT EXCEEDING THE EXPOSURE LIMITS STATED IN SECTION 2.
PRODUCT CAN CAUSE FOULING OF SHORELINES AND IS HARMFUL TO AQUATIC LIFE IN LOW CONCENTRATIONS. THERE IS NO POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATION IN THE FOOD CHAIN. FRESHWATER TOXICITY: BLUEGILL: LC50 IS 8 PPM @ 96 HOURS JUVENILE SHAD: TLM IS 90 PPM @ 24 HOURS SALTWATER TOXICITY: MULLET: LC50 IS 2 PPM @ 96 HOURS GRASS SHRIMP: LC50 IS 1.5 PPM @ 96 HOURS MENHADEN: LC50 IS 2 PPM @ 96 HOURS JUVENILE SHAD: TLM IS 91 PPM @ 24 HOURS
