EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL
PROTECTION
Occupational exposure limits
Ingredient name:
Occupational exposure limits:
Asphalt:
ACGIH TLV (United States, 1/2005).
TWA: 0.5 mg/m³ 8 hour(s). Form: Fume.
Contains
Hydrogen Sulfide: ACGIH TLV (United States, 1/2005).
STEL: 21 mg/m³ 15 minute(s).
STEL: 15 ppm 15 minute(s).
TWA: 14 mg/m³ 8 hour(s).
TWA: 10 ppm 8 hour(s).
OSHA PEL Z2 (United States, 8/1997).
AMP: 50 ppm 10 minute(s).
CEIL: 20 ppm. Control measures: Provide exhaust ventilation or other
engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapors below their
respective occupational exposure limits.
Hygiene measures: Wash hands, forearms and face
thoroughly after handling chemical
products, before eating, smoking and
using the lavatory and at the end of the
working period.
12
Eyes:
Do not get in eyes. Hot material: Chemical
splash goggles or full face shield.
Cold material: None required; however,
use of protective eye wear is good
industrial practice.
Skin and body:
Avoid contact with skin and clothing.
Thermal resistant clothing will be required
when handling hot products. Wear clothing
and footwear that cannot be penetrated
by chemicals or oil. Wash thoroughly
after handling.
Respiratory:
Material Safety
Personal protection
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Air supplied
respiratory protection should be worn
whenever it is required for the worker’s
face to be within 3 feet of an open hatch.
If operating conditions cause high vapor
concentrations or TLV is exceeded, use
NIOSH certified supplied-air respirator.
Hands:
Thermal resistant clothing will be required
when handling hot products. Wear gloves
that cannot be penetrated by chemicals
or oil.
The correct choice of protective gloves
depends upon the chemicals being
handled, the conditions of work and use,
and the condition of the gloves (even
the best chemically resistant glove will
break down after repeated chemical
exposures). Most gloves provide only
a short time of protection before they
must be discarded and replaced. Because
specific work environments and material
handling practices vary, safety procedures
should be developed for each intended
application. Gloves should therefore be
chosen in consultation with the supplier/
manufacturer and with a full assessment
of the working conditions.
Consult your supervisor or S.O.P. for special handling directions.
Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity: Toxicity testing not conducted.
Chronic toxicity:
Carcinogenic effects.
No component of this product at levels
greater than 0.1% is identified as a
carcinogen by ACGIH or the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
No component of this product present at
levels greater than 0. 1% is identified as a
carcinogen by the U. S. National Toxicology
Program (NTP) or the U. S. Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
14
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas may accumulate in storage tanks of
bulk transport compartments containing this material. Contact
with eyes causes painful conjunctivitis, sensitivity to light,
tearing and clouding of vision. Inhalation of low concentrations
causes a runny nose with a loss of sense of smell, labored
breathing and shortness of breath. Direct contact with skin
causes pain and redness. Other symptoms of exposure include
profuse salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, giddiness,
headache, dizziness, confusion, rapid breathing, rapid heart rate,
sweating, weakness, sudden collapse, unconsciousness and
death due to respiratory paralysis. Cardiac neurological effects
have also been reported. Prolonged breathing (greater than one
hour) of concentrations of H2S around 50 ppm can produce
eye and respiratory tract irritation. Levels of 250 to 600 ppm
will result in fluid in the lungs, and concentrations around 1,000
ppm will cause unconsciousness and death in a short period
of time. Since the sense of smell rapidly becomes insensitive
to this toxic, colorless gas, odor cannot be relied upon as an
indicator of concentrations of the gas. Always exercise caution
when working around closed containers.
Material Safety
Other information
Asphalt fume condensate generated under laboratory conditions
has produced positive results in the Ames mutagenicity test.
However, asphalt fume condensate collected in the field under
actual field conditions has tested negative.
Laboratory-generated asphalt fume condensate has been
shown to produce skin tumors in mice when applied to their
skin repeatedly for prolonged periods of time over the entire
course of their lifetime. The fume condensate used in these
studies was generated using unrealistically high temperatures
and vacuum conditions.
Further studies have shown that the chemical composition and
physical properties of laboratory-generated fume differ markedly
from the composition and properties of fume generated in
the field under actual workplace conditions. These differences
indicate that the health hazards attributed to laboratory-generated
fume are not representative of actual workplace hazards.
15
There is no evidence that neat asphalt is carcinogenic.
Therefore, 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.
No carcinogenic effects have been observed in laboratory
animals during lifetime inhalation studies with asphalt aerosol
or fume. Chronic inflammatory changes to the respiratory
tract have been observed in exposed animals. These changes
include bronchitis, pneumonitis, and pulmonary congestion,
which are similar to the inflammatory effects seen following
chronic inhalation exposure to other types of non-specific
respiratory irritants.
Health monitoring studies of lung cancer among asphalt
workers have yielded contradictory results. While some studies
are negative, others are positive but confounded by worker
co-exposure to other potential lung carcinogens such as
cigarette smoke and coal tar.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
concluded that there is inadequate evidence to classify asphalt
as carcinogenic to humans.
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity:
No testing has been performed by the
manufacturer.
DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste information: A
void contact of spilled material and
runoff with soil and surface waterways.
Consult an environmental professional
to determine if local, regional or national
regulations would classify spilled or
contaminated materials as hazardous
waste. Use only approved transporters,
recyclers, treatment, storage or disposal
facilities. Dispose of in accordance with all
applicable local and national regulations.
Consult your local or regional authorities.

Hoja de datos de seguridad del material
INFORMACIÓN TOXICOLÓGICA
Se puede acumular ácido sulfhídrico (H2S) en estado gaseoso
en los tanques de almacenamiento de compartimientos para
transporte a granel que contengan este material. El contacto
con los ojos causa conjuntivitis dolorosa, sensibilidad a la
luz, lagrimeo y visión borrosa. La inhalación del gas a bajas
concentraciones produce secreción nasal acuosa acompañada
por pérdida del olfato y dificultades para respirar. Su contacto
directo con la piel causa dolor y enrojecimiento. Entre otros
síntomas de la exposición se destacan la salivación excesiva,
náuseas, vómitos, diarrea, mareos, cefaleas, vértigo, confusión,
respiración acelerada, frecuencia cardiaca elevada, sudoración,
debilidad, colapsos súbitos, pérdida del conocimiento y muerte
por parálisis respiratoria.
53
También se han informado efectos cardiacos y neurológicos.
La inhalación prolongada (más de una hora) de H2S en
concentraciones de aproximadamente 50 ppm puede producir
irritaciones oculares y del tracto respiratorio. Niveles de 250 a
600 ppm ocasionan la presencia de fluidos en los pulmones,
y concentraciones de aproximadamente 1000 ppm provocan
pérdida del conocimiento y muerte a corto plazo. Debido a que
el sentido del olfato rápidamente se vuelve insensible a este gas
tóxico incoloro, no se debe confiar en su olor como indicador de
concentración. Trabaje con precaución en las inmediaciones de
los contenedores cerrados.
El condensado de vapor de asfalto generado bajo condiciones
de laboratorio ha producido resultados positivos en la prueba de
mutagenicidad de Ames. Sin embargo, el condensador de vapor
de asfalto recolectado en campo bajo condiciones reales de
campo ha resultado negativo.
Se ha demostrado que el condensado de vapor de asfalto
generado en el laboratorio produce tumores en la piel en ratones
al ser aplicado a su piel repetidamente por períodos prolongados
de tiempo a lo largo de toda su vida. El condensado de humo
utilizado en estos estudios fue generado utilizando temperaturas
irrealistamente altas y condiciones de vacío.
Estudios adicionales han demostrado que la composición
química y las propiedades físicas del vapor generado en
laboratorio difieren de forma importante de la composición y
propiedades del vapor producido en el lugar de trabajo bajo
condiciones reales de campo. Estas diferencias indican que
los riesgos de salud atribuidos a los vapores generados en
el laboratorio no son representativos de riesgos reales en el
trabajo.
No existe evidencia de que que el asfalto limpio sea
carcinogénico. Por lo tanto, no se espera que el contacto
intermitente u ocasional de la piel con el asfalto de petróleo
tenga efectos serios sobre la salud siempre y cuando se
tomen medidas adecuadas de higiene personal, tales como las
establecidas en esta hoja de datos de seguridad de materiales.
No se han observado efectos carcinogénicos en animales de
laboratorio durante estudios de inhalación a lo largo de la vida
con aerosol ni vapor de asfalto. Se han observado cambios
crónicos inflamatorios en el tracto respiratorio en animales
expuestos. Estos cambios incluyen bronquitis, pneumonitis
y congestión pulmonar, los cuales son similares a los efectos
54
Los estudios de monitoreo de la salud del cáncer de pulmón
entre trabajadores que manejan asfalto han arrojado resultados
contradictorios. Mientras que algunos estudios son negativos,
otros son positivos pero complicados por la co-exposición de los
trabjadores a otros carcinógenos pulmonares potenciales, tales
como humo de cigarrillo y alquitrán de carbón.
La Agencia Internacional para Investigación del Cáncer (IARC)
ha concluido que no existe evidencia adecuada para clasificar el
asfalto como carcinógeno para los humanos.
