2. Composition, Information On Ingredients
Product Use: This product is intended for use as a fuel in engines and heaters
designed for diesel fuels, and for use in engineered processes. Use in other
applicatiions may result in higher exposures and require additional controls, such as
local exhaust ventilation and personal protective equipment
Description: #2 Diesel is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons from a variety of
chemical processes blended to meet standardized product specifications. Composition
varies greatly and includes C9 to C20 hydrocarbons with a boiling range of about 325-
675 degrees F. The following is a non-exhaustive list of common components, typical
percentage ranges in product, and occupational exposure limits for each.

3. Hazards Identification
Health Hazard Data:
1. The major effect of exposure to this product is giddiness1 headache, central nervous
system depression; possible irritation of eyes, nose, and tungs; and dermal irritation..
Signs of kidney and liver damage may be delayed.. Pulmonary irritation secondary to
exhalation fo solvent..
2. NJOSH recommends that whole diesel engine exhaust be regarded as a potential
occupational carcinogen~ Follow OSHA and NSHA rules where diesel engine exhaust
fumes may be generated..
3~ A life time skin painting study by the American Petroleum Institute has shown that
similar naphtha products with a boiling range of 350-700 degrees F usually produce
skin tumors and/ or skin cancers in laboratory mice. Only a weak to moderate response
occurred~ The effect to humans has not been detennined.
4. Positive results at 2~O ml/kg and 6.0 mI/kg noted in mutagenesis studies via in-vivo
bone marrow cytogenetics assay in rats.
5~ Kerosene is classified as a severe skin irritant. Mutation data has been reported for
kerosene products~ Hydrotreated kerosene is listed as being probably carcinogenic to
humans with limited evidence in humans and sufficient evidence in experimental
animals~
Hazards of Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can
be found in the combustion products of this product and other forms of hydrocarbon
combustion.. Carbon monoxide in moderate concentrations can cause symptoms of
headache, nausea, vomiting, increased cardiac output, and confusion.. Exposure to
higher concentrations of carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness, heart
damage, brain damage, and/or death~ Exposure to high concentrations of carbon
dioxide can cause simple asphyxiation by displacing available oxygen~ Combustion of
this and other similar materials should only be carried out in well ventilated areas_
