=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HEATED PROD MAY CAUSE IRRIT TO EYES,
    SKIN & LUNGS AFTER PRLNGD/RPTD EXPOS; HOT ASPHALT CAN CAUSE THERMAL
    BURNS & UNHEATED ASPHALT CAN CAUSE IRRIT. OVEREXP TO FUMES OF
    HEATED PROD SHOULD BE AVOIDED. TH E INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR
    RESEARCH OF CANCER, IARC, CONDUCTED A THORO LITERATURE SEARCH IN
    1985  (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:& DETERMINED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE
    EVIDENCE FOR CARCIN OF UNDILUTED, AIR-REFINED ASPHALT IN
    ANIMALS/HUMANS. IARC ALSO CONCLUDED THAT MOUSE SKIN PAINTING
    STUDIES SHOWED THAT EXTRACTS OF ASP HALTS CAUSE SKIN TUMORS.
    HOWEVER, THESEEXTRACTS WERE DERIVED BY USING BENZENE/TOLUENE AS
    SOLV & RSLTG EXTRACT (SUPDAT)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES:IMMED FLUSH EYES W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN.
    CALL MD. SKIN:IMMED WASH SKIN W/SOAP & PLENTY OF WATER. IF EXPOSED
    TO HOT MATL,IMMED COOL W/COLD WATER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MATL.
    CALL  MD. INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BRTHG, GIVE ARTF RESP.
    IF BRTHG IS DFCLT GIVE OXYGEN. CALL MD. INGEST:DO NOT INDUCE VOM.
    GIVE LG QTYS OF WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO
    UNCONSIOUS(ING 5)

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, CO*2 FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP. COOL
    TANK/CNTNR W/WATER SPRAY. WATER/FOAM MAY CAUSE FROTHING/MAY EVOLVE
    STEAM IF COMING IN CONTACT W/(SUPP DATA)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PRODS OF COMBUST MAY CONTAIN CO, CO*2, &
    OTHER TOX MATERIALS. DO NOT ENTER CLSD ENCLOSED/CONFINED SPACE
    WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIP INCL RESP PROTECTION.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:CONTAIN SPILL IMMED IN SMALLEST POSS AREA.
    RECOVER AS MUCH PROD AS POSS BY SUCH METH AS VACUUMING OR, IF IN
    SEMISOLID STATE, BY MECH MEANS. RESIDUAL FLUID SHOULD BE RECOVERED
    BY USING ABSORBENT MATLS.  NONRECOVERABLE PROD, CONTAM SOIL, DEBRIS
    (ING 6)
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT STORE OVER 180F NOR USE A
    HEATING SURFACE OVER 2OOF AT SEA LEVEL. SKIN CONTACT SHOULD BE
    MINIMIZED.
Other Precautions:IN CONSIDERING THE ABOVE INFO, REMEMBER THAT GOOD
    HYGEINIC PRACT CAN BE HELPFUL IN PREVENTING ADVERSE HLTH EFTS; FOR
    EXAMPLE, EXPOS TO ASPHALT & ITS FUMES CAN BE MINIMIZED BY USING
    PROT CLTHG/DEVICES	& SKIN CONTAM W/ASPHALT SHOULD (ING 8)

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:SELECT APPROP NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD RESP PROT WHERE
    NEC TO MAINTAIN EXPOS BELOW ACCEPTABLE LIMITS IN HLTH HAZS SECTION.
    PROPER RESP SELECTION SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY ADEQ TRAINED PERS &
    BASED ON CONTAM, D EGREE OF POTENTIAL EXPOS & (ING 9)
Ventilation:NORMAL VENT UNLESS VAP OR FUME CONC ARE HIGH, THEN MECH
    VENT SHOULD BE USED.
Protective Gloves:NBR OR NEOPRENE GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:COMPLETE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IF MATL BEING
    HANDLED HOT.
Work Hygienic Practices:CLEAN EXPOSED SKIN W/WATERLESS HAND CLEANER
    FOLLOWED BY SOAP & WATER. LAUNDER CONTAM CLTHG.
Supplemental Safety and Health
FIRE FIGHT PREC:HOT ASPHALT. WATER SPRAY MAY BE USED TO FLUSH SPILLS
    AWAY FROM EXPOS. HLTH HAZ:DOES NOT REALISTICALLY CHARACTERIZE
    ASPHALT TO WHICH HUMANS ARE EXPOSED. SAME CRITICISM APPLIES TO
    STUDIE S THAT SHOWED ROOFING ASPHALT FUME CONDENSATE OR
    STEAM-REFINED ASPHALT CAUSED SKIN CANCER IN SIMILAR MOUSE (ING 2)
