Section 11: Toxicological Information

Toxicology Information

Oral toxicity: Almost non-toxic. LD 50: > 2000 mg/kg (species: rats)

Dermal toxicity: Almost non-toxic. LD 50: > 2000 mg/kg (species: rabbits)

Inhalation toxicity: Almost non-toxic. LD 50: > 5 mg/l (species: rats)

Eye irritation: Almost non-irritating. Draize score: > 6 and < 15 (species: rabbits)

Skin irritation: Irritant. Primary irritation index: > 3 and < 5 (species: rabbits)

Other data: Inhalation of high concentrations of vapors or mists may cause

respiratory system irritation and damage. It may also result in the

damage and depression of the central nervous system and may

cause death. Prolonged contact with the material may cause

severe skin irritation.

Subchronic toxicity: Dermal studies resulted in significant irritation but not systematic

toxicity (species: rabbits). Inhalation exposures (90 day,

approximately 1500 ppm vapor) produced light hydrocarbon

nephropathy but no significant systemic toxicity (species: rats).

Neurotoxicity: Repeated and prolonged exposures to high concentrations of

vapor has been reported to result in central nervous system

damage and eventually, death. In a study in which ten human

volunteers were exposed for 30 minutes to approximately 200,

500 or 1000 ppm concentrations of gasoline vapor, irritation of the

eyes was the only significant effect observed, based on both

subjective and objective assessments.

However, no persistent neurotoxic effects were observed in

subchronic inhalation studies of gasoline.

Reproductive toxicity: An inhalation study with rats exposed to 0, 400 and 1600 ppm of

wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline, 6 hours per day on day 6

through 16 of gestation, showed no teratogenic effects nor

indication of toxicity to either the mother or the fetus. Another

inhalation study in rats exposed to 3000, 6000, or 9000 ppm of

gasoline vapor, 6 hours per day on day 6 through 20 of gestation,

also showed no teratogenic effects nor indications of toxicity to

either the mother or the fetus.

Chronic toxicity: A lifetime mouse skin painting study of unleaded gasoline applied

at 50 microliters, three time weekly, resulted in some severe skin

irritation and changes, but no statistically significant increase in

skin cancer or cancer to any other organ. Lifetime inhalation of

wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline over 2000 ppm has caused

increased liver tumors in female mice and increased kidney

tumors in male rats. The EPA has concluded that mechanism by

which wholly vaporzied unleaded gasoline causes kidney damage

is unque to the male rat. The effects in that species (kidney

damage and cancer) should not be used in human risk

assessment.

Other toxic effects Extremely hazardous in case of ingestion.

on humans Very hazardous in case of eye contact.

Hazardous in case of skin contact.

Slightly hazardous in case of inhalation.

Carcinogenic effects: Contains material that may cause cancer depending on the level

and duration of exposure.

Target organs: Contains material that may cause damage to humans organs such

as (but not limited to) blood, kidneys, lungs, liver, eye, skin,

nervous system and upper respiratory tract.

Section 12: Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: This material may be toxic to aquatic organisms such as algae

and daphnia. It has also shown to be toxic to fish.

Environmental fate: The material is expected to be readily biodegradable. When

released into the environment, some of the constituents of

gasoline will volatilize and be photo degraded in the atmosphere.

Following spillage, the more volatile components of gasoline will

be rapidly lost, with concurrent dissolution of these and other

constituents into the water. Factors such as local environmental

conditions, photo-oxidation, biodegradation and adsorption onto

suspended sediments, can contribute to the weathering of spilled

gasoline.

Section 13: Disposal Considerations

Waste disposal: Avoid disposal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil,

waterways, drains and sewers. Disposal of this product and any of

its by products should always comply with the requirements of

environmental protection and waste disposal legislation and any

local authority requirements.

This material would likely be identified as a federally regulated

RCRA hazardous waste. See sections 7 and 8 for further

information on handling, storage and personal protection. See

section 9 for the material’s physical and chemical properties.
