========================== SECTION III - HEALTH HAZARDS ================================
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (HMIS) CLASSIFICATION:
HEALTH: 2* FLAMMABILITY: 2 REACTIVITY: 0 PERSONAL PROTECTION: DEPENDS UPON CONDITIONS.
INHALATION:
HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS ARE IRRITATING TO THE NOSE AND THROAT. OVEREXPOSURE CAN CAUSE HEADACHE,
DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS. NOTE: THERE IS NO FORESEEABLE RISK OF WORKERS¼ INHALING
SOLID CONSTITUENTS OF THIS MIXTURE.
EYE EXPOSURE:
M A T E R I A L S A F E T Y D A T A S H E E T
PITCH ROOF COATING PAGE: 2
VAPOR CAN IRRITATE EYES. LIQUID CONTACT CAN CAUSE REDNESS, TEARING, AND IRRITATION.
SOLIDS MAY SCRATCH EYEBALL. REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE EYE DAMAGE.
HOT MATERIAL CAN BURN EYE TISSUE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF EYESIGHT.
SKIN EXPOSURE:
LIQUID AND VAPORS CAN CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION AND DERMATITIS, INCLUDING ACNE. COAL TAR PITCH
IS A PHOTOTOXIC SUBSTANCE THAT, IN THE PRESENCE OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT (SUNLIGHT), CAN CAUSE A
SKIN REACTION SIMILAR TO AN EXAGGERATED SUNBURN, FREQUENTLY CAUSING BLISTERS. EXISTING SKIN
DISORDERS (E.G., ECZEMA OR SKIN ALLERGY) MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO THIS MATERIAL. HOT
MATERIAL CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEAT BURNS.
INGESTION:
SWALLOWING CAN CAUSE SEVERE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND DEPRESSION
OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. SOLVENT CAN ENTER THE LUNGS DURING SWALLOWING OR VOMITING,
CAUSING LUNG INFLAMMATION AND DAMAGE.
DELAYED EFFECTS:
LONG-TERM OVEREXPOSURE TO COAL TAR PITCH CAN AFFECT SKIN PIGMENTATION. IT CAN CAUSE GROWTHS
ON THE SKIN OR SKIN CANCER. IT MAY CAUSE CANCER OF THE LUNGS, KIDNEYS, OR BLADDER.
CARCINOGENICITY DETERMINATIONS:
COAL TAR PITCH HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY IARC TO BE A HUMAN CARCINOGEN. COAL TAR PITCH AND
SEVERAL OF ITS SPECIFIC INGREDIENTS, INCLUDING BENZO[A]PYRENE, HAVE BEEN DETERMINED BY NTP
TO CAUSE CANCER IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS.
======================== SECTION V - FIRST AID MEASURES =======================
INHALATION:
REMOVE SUBJECT TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF BREATHING HAS
STOPPED. ADMINISTER OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST.
EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN AT ONCE IF HOT
MATERIAL HAS CONTACTED EYE. OTHERWISE, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
IF CONTACTED BY UNHEATED MATERIAL OR LIGHT SPRAY, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING, INCLUDING SHOES.
THEN REMOVE MATERIAL FROM SKIN WITH VEGETABLE OIL AND WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER.
HYDROCORTISONE CREAM MAY BE USED FOR RELIEF OF SKIN IRRITATION. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF
IRRITATION PERSISTS.
IF CONTACTED BY HOT LIQUID, DO NOT REMOVE CLOTHING IN AFFECTED AREAS. INSTEAD, IMMERSE
AFFECTED AREAS IMMEDIATELY IN ICE-COLD WATER UNTIL ALL HEAT HAS DISSIPATED. THEN WRAP THEM
IN GAUZE AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION PROMPTLY.
INGESTION:
DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING; PULMONARY COMPLICATIONS CAN RESULT.
CONSULT A PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER AT ONCE.
SECTION 5 - FIRE HAZARDS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
IGNITION DATA:
FLASH POINT: 180 DEGR. F, 82 DEGR. C
LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: NOT DETERMINED
UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: NOT DETERMINED
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: ABOVE 210 C / 410 F
COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: CAN INCLUDE OXIDES OF NITROGEN, CARBON, AND POSSIBLY SULFUR.
FIRE FIGHTING GUIDELINES:
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: USE CLASS B EXTINGUISHANT, E.G., DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE,
OR WATER FOG. IN CLOSED TANKS, WATER OR FOAM MAY CAUSE FROTHING OR ERUPTION.
WEAR RESPIRATOR (PRESSURE DEMAND, SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS, MSHA/NIOSH-APPROVED)
AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR FOR WORKING FIRES. COOL EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.

======================== SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES =======================
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
FOLLOW ALL PRECAUTIONS GIVEN IN SECTION 8, AND, IN ADDITION, WEAR PERMEATION-RESISTANT,
ELASTOMERIC BOOTS OR OVERSHOES.
CLEAN-UP:
ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION AND, IF INDOORS, VENTILATE SPILL AREA. STOP SOURCE OF
SPILL OR LEAK IF POSSIBLE. CONTAIN SPILLAGE BY DIKING WITH SAND, EARTH, PIGS, OR OTHER
INERT MATERIAL IN ORDER TO PREVENT SPILLAGE FROM ENTERING SEWERS OR OPEN BODIES OF WATER
AND/OR TO PREVENT SOIL CONTAMINATION.
IN COMPLIANCE WITH 40 CFR PART 302, REPORT THE RELEASE IMMEDIATELY TO THE NATIONAL
RESPONSE CENTER IF AMOUNT RELEASED EXCEEDS 148 POUNDS, AN AMOUNT BASED UPON THE CONCENTRATION
OF BENZO[B]FLUORANTHENE (RQ - 1 LB.) PRESENT IN THIS MATERIAL AND LISTED IN TABLE 302.4.
ALLOW HOT MATERIAL TO COOL, THEN TRANSFER SPILLAGE TO LABELED RECOVERY CONTAINERS.
======================== SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE =======================
ELIMINATE IGNITION SOURCES. STORE IN TIGHTLY CLOSED, LABELED CONTAINERS PROTECTED FROM PHYSICAL
DAMAGE AND SEPARATED FROM OXIDIZERS. STORAGE LOCATIONS MUST MEET, AS A MINIMUM, ALL APPLICABLE
REQUIREMENTS OF ANSI/NFPA 30 - FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS CODE (1993) AS IT APPLIES TO
CLASS LILA LIQUIDS.
======================== SECTION VIII - PROTECTION FROM OVER EXPOSURE =======================
VENTILATION AND CONTAINMENT:
KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. IF INDOORS, USE EITHER LOCAL OR GENERAL EXHAUST
VENTILATION SUFFICIENT TO KEEP VAPOR AND FUME LEVELS BELOW APPLICABLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. IF
OUTDOORS, STAY UPWIND WHENEVER PRACTICAL TO DO SO.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
IF VENTILATION/CONTAINMENT MEASURES DO NOT RELIABLY PROTECT AGAINST INHALATION OVEREXPOSURE,
WEAR MSHA/NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR SUITABLE FOR PROTECTION FROM THE VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS
ENCOUNTERED.
EYE PROTECTION:
WEAR SPLASH GOGGLES (ANSI Z87.1A-1991) WHEN POURING OR TRANSFERRING THIS MATERIAL. DO NOT
WEAR CONTACT LENSES.
SKIN PROTECTION:
AVOID SKIN CONTACT BY WEARING PERMEATION-RESISTANT, ELASTOMERIC GLOVES AND CLOTHES WITH
LONG SLEEVES AND PANTS. REPLACE ELASTOMERIC PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHENEVER IT BECOMES SWOLLEN,
GUMMY, TORN, OR SHOWS EVIDENCE OF BARRIER LOSS. APPLY A SOLVENT-RESISTANT SKIN BARRIER CREAM
TO AREAS OF SKIN THAT MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH MATERIAL. IF WORKING OUT-OF-DOORS, FIRST
APPLY SUNSCREEN LOTION WITH A HIGH SUN BLOCK PROTECTION FACTOR TO SKIN EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT,
THEN APPLY BARRIER CREAM.
OTHER PROTECTIVE MEASURES:
AN EYEWASH STATION AND EMERGENCY SHOWER (ANSI Z358.1-1990) SHOULD BE READILY AVAILABLE.
PERSONAL HYGIENE:
REMOVE PRODUCT FROM SKIN WITH VEGETABLE OIL WHENEVER OBSERVED; REAPPLY BARRIER CREAM AS
APPROPRIATE. WASH HANDS AND FOREARMS WITH SOAP AND WATER AFTER HANDLING, AND ESPECIALLY
BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING. SHOWER AT THE END OF EACH WORK SHIFT. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
SEPARATE FROM OTHER LAUNDRY BEFORE REUSE.
