SECTION V- HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 

Threshold Limit Value -    0.2 mg/ m3, coal tar pitch volatiles. 

Routes Of Entry- Skin, eyes, inhalation, ingestion.

Effects Of Overexposure - Acute: YES           Chronic: YES

 

 

 Eyes - Overexposure of vapors can cause eye irritation, burning, redness and/or corneal changes, which in absence of recommended first aid may result in severe burns.

Skin - Contact with skin can result in irritation which when accentuated by sunlight may result in photo toxic skin reaction (similar to sunburn).  Prolonged and/or repeated contact with the product or volatiles may result in more serious skin disorders including cancer.

 Inhalation- The product has very low vapor pressure, therefore, harmful effects are not anticipated.  Chronic                inhalation overexposure to vapors.  Repeated and/or prolonged contact to high levels of vapor concentration may result in respiratory problems, central nervous system (CNS) effects, cardiovascular collapse.

  

Ingestion- May cause nausea, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea or acute effects.  May be fatal in large amounts.

 

Unusual Chronic Toxicity: May cause cancer of the skin, lungs, kidney and bladder.  Prolonged or repeated contact over many years in the absence of good hygiene and personal protection may lead to changes in skin pigmentation and skin tumors.

 

                Conditions aggravated by exposure and additional health hazards: The test results reported in Koppers Industries, Inc. publication "Using Refined Coal Tar Emulsion Safely" conclusively establish that emissions during the manufacturing, as well as application, of sealcoatings based on refined coal tar are well below the OSHA exposure limits.  Refined coal tar is a complex mixture of thousands of chemical compounds, a majority being closed ring, polynuclear aromatic compounds (PNAs) which range from single ring structure to multiple (30-40) rings in there molecular structure.  According to NTP, IARC, or OSHA, some of these PNAs have been found to induce cancer in animals under laboratory conditions.

                Cancer warning statements for materials derived from coke oven tar, which includes refined coal tar RT-12, are based primarily on crude (unrefined) tars.  No data has been established on refined coal tars or sealcoatings based on refined coal tars as potential carcinogens.  The cancer warnings are, therefore, affixed on all coal tar derived products, due to the lack of specific data on these products. 

                Respirable crystalline silica, also used in conjunction with this product is a suspected carcinogen, however, no exposure is expected through the use of this material.  This product and sealcoatings in general, have not been tested for chronic exposure effects.

 

Carcinogenic:   IARC- YES               ACGIH- YES

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

 

       Eyes- Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes, call a physician, if condition persists.

       Skin- Wash thoroughly with plenty of water and soap.

       Inhalation- Move to fresh air, administer oxygen and call a physician.

       Ingestion-  Do not induce vomiting. Seek physician immediately and show M.S.D.S. or label.

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED

 

Ventilate the area.  Wear approved respiratory protection.  Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye / face protection.  Contain and pick up waste material.  Put in a sealed approved container.  Dispose of in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

For Small Spills: Absorb with an inert material and place in containers.

For Large Spills: Contain material and pump into tanks or other suitable containers.  Spills over 45 gallons should be reported to national, state and local emergency response agencies.  The telephone number for the National Response Center is 800-424-8802.

 

Do not flush into sewers or bodies of water.  The material will suffocate fish until it settles to the bottom.

 

WASTE DISPOSAL

                This material is not a hazardous waste in either liquid (emulsion) form or as a dried material, according to TCLP (Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure) results (EPA method 1311).  Recommended disposal by land filling (dry) or incineration shall be selected in accordance with the local, state, and federal regulations.

 

Reportable Quantity           - N/A

Regulations         - WHMIS, SARA, State and province.

Hazardous Waste                - N/A
