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

Effects Of Overexposure - Acute: YES Chronic: YES

Eyes - Overexposure to 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 sun burn) . 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 and possible 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-1991"conclusively established 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, majority being closed ring, polynuclear aromatic compounds (PNAs) which range from single ring structure to multiple (30-40) rings in their 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 the 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

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. If irritation persists, seek medical help.

Inhalation- Move to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is difficult, administer artificial respiration or oxygen as needed. Seek medical help.

Ingestion- Do not induce vomiting. Give 1-2 glasses of milk. Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical help immediately and show M.S.D.S. or label.
