4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of first aid measures
General advice Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Immediate medical attention is
required. Remove from exposure, lie down. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek
medical advice immediately. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt, seek medical
advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Take off all contaminated
clothing immediately and thoroughly wash material from skin.
Inhalation Remove from exposure, lie down. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.
Get medical attention immediately. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If
symptoms persist, call a physician.
Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Do not rub affected area. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Skin contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all
contaminated clothes and shoes. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get immediate medical
advice/attention.
Self-protection of the first aider Remove all sources of ignition. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s)
involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination.
Wear personal protective clothing (see section 8). Avoid direct contact with skin. Use
barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness,
tiredness, nausea and vomiting. Prolonged contact may cause redness and irritation.
Hydrogen sulfide can cause respiratory paralysis and death, depending on
concentration and duration of exposure. The "rotten egg" odor of hydrogen sulfide is not
a reliable indicator of exposure, since olfactory fatigue (loss of smell) will occur.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Note to physicians Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Small Fire Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical, CO2, foam (AFFF/ATC), or
water spray can be used.

Hydrocarbon liquids including this product can act as a non-conductive flammable liquid (or
static accumulator), and may form ignitable vapor-air mixtures in storage tanks or other
containers. Precautions to prevent static initiated fire or explosion during transfer, storage
or handling, include but are not limited to these examples: (1) Ground and bond containers
during product transfers. Grounding and bonding may not be adequate protection to
prevent ignition or explosion of hydrocarbon liquid and vapors that are static accumulators.
(2) Special slow load procedures for "switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static
ignition hazard that can exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel or diesel) is
loaded into tanks previously containing low flash point products (such as gasoline or
naphtha). (3) Storage tank level floats must be effectively bonded. For more information on
precautions to prevent static-initiated fire or explosion, see NFPA 77 Recommended
Practice on Static Electricity and API Recommended Practice 2003 Protection Against
Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage Conditions Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from
heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static
electricity). Keep in properly labeled containers. Store in accordance with the particular
national regulations. Store in accordance with local regulations. Keep out of the reach of
children. Store locked up.
Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved
containers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty or partially full product
containers or vessels may contain explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or
expose containers to sources of ignition. Store in a well-ventilated area. The storage area
should comply with NFPA 30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code". The cleaning of
tanks previously containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice (RP)
2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks In Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service" and API RP
2015 "Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks". Emergency eye wash capability should be
available in the near proximity to operations presenting a potential splash exposure.

Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure
Chemical Name
Gas oils (petroleum), straight-run Gas oils and distillate fuels may be fatal if they are swallowed and enter the airway. If
inhaled, short-term overexposure can cause disorientation, nausea, vomiting, signs of
central nervous system effects such as headache or disorientation, immediate
unconsciousness and death. In animal studies, gas oil streams and distillate fuels
demonstrated minimal acute toxicity by the oral, dermal and inhalation routes, minimal eye
irritation, moderate to severe skin irritation with 24 hours exposure, and no dermal
sensitization. Generally, results suggest that the degree of toxicity is associated with the
concentrations and ring distributions of aromatic constituents in the fuels. When dermal
exposures last 24 hours or longer, moderate to severe skin irritation, but not sensitization,
has been reported in animal studies. Repeated dermal exposures have been reported to
cause systemic effects in animals, including changes in liver and thymus weight and blood
chemistry. Some gas oil streams and distillate fuels can cause gene mutations in studies
using bacteria and animal tissue. Results of developmental studies with gas oils
demonstrate that some gas oils induce developmental effects and others do not. Effects
observed include reduced litter size through resorptions, lower body weights, and fetal
malformations were reported for 2 members of the category. Studies in animals indicate
that gas oils and distillate fuels are potential skin carcinogens after repeated skin
application, but are not associated with tumors in other parts of the body (systemic tumors).
The carcinogenicity of individual petroleum streams varies due to factors such as source
and processing; IARC and ECHA C&L Inventory reports individually on the carcinogenicity
of these substances.
