IARC has listed some asphalts and solvent extracts of asphalt as capable of
causing skin cancer in experimental animals. Whether or not petroleum asphalt
can cause skin cancer in humans is not known.

Section IV - Fire and Explosion Data
| Flash Point (Closed Cup): | 105 degrees F |
| Explosive Limits: | Lower: 0.8% Upper: N/D |
| Extinguishing Media: | Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical |
| Hazardous Decomposition Products: | Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and various hydrocarbon fragments |
| Special Firefighting Procedures: | Do not direct water on substance. Treat as fuel oil fire. Water can be used to cool closed containers. In a sustained fire, use NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. |
Asphalt Fire and Explosion Hazards: Materials are combustible. Vapors of naptha are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation to locations distant from the point of material handling. To prevent ignition, avoid smoking, keep away from heat, open flames and sources of static and electrical sparking. Use explosion proof motors and equipment. Tank trucks or other containers should be grounded and/or bonded when the material is transferred.
N/E means none established N/D Means no data available N/A means not applicable
Section V - Health and Hazard Data
Effects of overexposure: SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause slight irritation. EYES: Contact may cause irritation, redness, blurred vision. INHALATION: Will cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, and intoxication; nervous system depressant. Long-term exposures to high concentrations of solvent vapors may cause liver or kidney damage. INGESTION: Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Aspiration of material into lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.
Emergency and first aid procedures: SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. EYES: Flush with large amounts of water. Get medical attention. INHALATION: Remove affected person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Keep person warm, quiet and get medical attention immediately.
Section VI - Reactivity Data
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. STABILITY: Stable. CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid contact with water - reaction generates hydrogen.
Section VII - Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Dike and contain spill with inert material (e.g. sand, earth). Prevent material from entering sewers or waterways. Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area if necessary. Recover free liquid. Transfer into containers for disposal as a solid waste.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose in accordance with
Federal, State and Local regulations. This material is a RCRA regulated
hazardous waste and must be disposed of in a permitted facility. Drums are
hazardous if not emptied completely (less than 1 inch of residue).
EPA Hazardous Waste Number: D001.
Section Vlll - Special and Protection Information
Respiratory Protection: Normally not required in ventilated area. If TLV is exceeded a NIOSH/MESA approved breathing apparatus is recommended. (Contact safety equipment supplier.)
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses, chemical goggles or face shield.
Protective Clothing: Solvent resistant gloves, long pants and long sleeved shirts are recommended to reduce material contact with skin.
Section lX - Special Precautions
Handling and Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
