SECTION 6 HEALTH INFORMATION
Eye
Contact: This product may cause
mechanical irritation of the eyes.
Skin
Contact: This product may cause
mechanical irritation of the skin.
Inhalation: This product is not hazardous via inhalation
with normal product use.
Ingestion: This product has a low order of toxicity. If
symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation develop,
seek medical attention.
Signs and
Symptoms: None known with normal
product use.
Aggravated
Medical Conditions: None known with
normal product use.
Other
Effects: From skin painting studies in
laboratory animals, it has been concluded that some asphalts
may possess weak carcinogenic
activity. This means that workers who practice poor personal hygiene,
and who are repeatedly exposed by
direct skin contact with petroleum asphalt for many years, may
potentially be at risk of developing
skin cancer. Intermittent or occasional skin contact with petroleum
asphalt is not expected to have
serious health effects as long as good personal hygiene measures, such
as those outlined in this Material
Safety Data Sheet are followed. In addition, asphalt vapors may
contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,
some of which are known to be carcinogenic. Therefore,
prolonged breathing of vapors should
be avoided.
