    TRACT (NOSE & THROAT) IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE NAUSEA OR DIZZINESS.
    SKIN CONTACT:PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT W/COLD MATERIAL MAY
    CAUSE DERMATITIS. CONTACT W/HOT MATER IAL WILL CAUSE THERMAL BURNS.
    EXPOSURE TO ASPHALT FUMES INCREASES SENSITIVITY TO SUNBURN. EYE

Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:FUMES FROM HEATED MATL WILL CAUSE
    IRRIT. CHRONIC:INHAL:THERE ARE NO STUDIES TO INDICATE THAT ASPHALT
    CAUSES CANCER/RESP DMG IN MAN. THIS PETRO BASED PROD CNTNS SM AMT
    OF POLYAROMATIC HYDROCAR BONS WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE CANCER
    & RESP DMG IN LAB ANIMALS. SKIN CONT:MOUSE SKIN PAINTING STUDIES

*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHAL:REMOVE INDIVIDUAL TO FRESH AIR. IF IRRIT PERSISTS,
    ADMIN OXYG & SEEK MED ATTN. SKIN:IF HOT ASPHALT STRIKES SKIN,
    DRENCH/IMMERSE AREA IN WATER TO ASSIST COOLING, IF AVAIL, APPLY
    ICED WATER/ICE PA CKS TO BURNED AREA. (DO NOT USE ICED WATER/COLD
    CONTRIBUTE TO SHOCK). DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE ASPHALT FROM BURN AFTER
    IT HAS COOLED. SEEK ME D ATTN. MED PERS CAN SOFTEN & REMOVE COOLED
    ASPHALT W/PETRO JELLY. IF COOL ASPHALT CONTS SKIN, WASH AREA W/HOT
    SOAPY WATER. USE OF WATERLESS HAND CLEANER WILL HELP TO REMOVE
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point Method:COC
Extinguishing Media:FOAM, CO*2, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER FOG MAY BE USED ON
    FLAT SURFACES SUCH AS ROADS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP .
    DO NOT USE WATER ON ASPHALT FIRE IN TANK/OTHER CNTNRS AS IT MAY
    CAUSE VIOLENT ERUPTION & SPREADING OF BURNING ASPHALT. WATER MAY BE
    USED TO COOL CO NTAINERS IN A FIRE EXPOSED AREA.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HOT ASPHALT MAY IGNITE FLAMMABLE
    MATERIALS ON CONTACT.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:DIKE STORAGE TANKS TO PREVENT MATERIAL FROM
    ENTERING SEWERS OR WATERWAYS. USE APPROPRIATE CONTAINMENT (BOOMS,
    ETC) TO PREVENT DISPERSION WHEN SPILL IS OUT OF DIKED AREA OR HAS
    REACHED A WATERWAY.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:WARNING:HYDROGEN SULFIDE (H*2S), AN
    EXTREMELY FLAMM, HIGHLY TOX GAS, IS EMITTED FROM HEATED ASPHALT &
    MAY ACCUM IN STOR TANKS & BULK TRANSPORT COMPARTMENTS.
Other Precautions:AT LOW CONCS (H*2S) IS IRRIT TO EYES & THROAT, & AT
    H*2S CANNOT BE USED AS INDICATOR OF CONC OF GAS. ALWAYS EXERCISE
    CAUT WHEN WORKI NG AROUND CLSD BULK CNTNRS OF ASPHALT. USE
    VENT/WORK UPWIND FROM SOURCE OF FUMES/VAPS. IN OUTDOOR AP
    PLICATIONS (SUP DAT)
