The National Library of Medicine does not test products nor does it evaluate information from the product label or the MSDS.
Health Effects
Enter text or highlight term...
Warnings: The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) has concluded that fumes
of heated asphalt are a potential occupational
carcinogen. Do not heat or burn this product.
Acute Health Effects: From MSDS
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
WARNING!
VAPORS, MISTS OR FUMES MAY IRRITATE THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. ELEVATED TEMPERATURE MATERIAL MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS
HEATING MAY RELEASE TOXIC HYDROGEN SULFIDE GAS (H2S) WHICH MAY ACCUMULATE IN CONFINED SPACES.

Potential Health Effects
EYE CONTACT: Vapors of hot asphalt may cause eye irritation.
SKIN CONTACT: Handling of hot asphalt can cause severe burns because it is sticky and not readily removed from skin. Vapors of hot asphalt may irritate skin. Occasional contact with asphalt is not expected to have serious health effects. Prolonged or repeated skin contact could result in absorption of hazardous components.
INGESTION: This product may cause irritation of the digestive tract followed by vomiting and central nervous system depression (see �Inhalation� for symptoms). Avoid aspiration of vomit into the lungs which can cause inflammation or pneumonitis.
INHALATION: Exposure to fumes, vapors or mists may cause irritation of the nose and throat, and possible signs of central nervous system depression (symptoms may include headache, dizziness, loss of coordination, and drowsiness). Loss of consciousness can occur in poorly ventilated or confined spaces.

Additional signs and symptoms of exposure may include reduced appetite and abnormal fatigue. Use of this product in well-ventilated working conditions is not expected to cause adverse effects.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an extremely toxic gas, may be emitted from heated asphalt and may accumulate in storage tanks and other confined spaces. At low concentrations (< 1 ppm), H2S can be irritating to the eyes, nose and throat, and at high concentrations (>500 ppm) can cause rapid unconsciousness and death. The odor of H2S cannot be used as an indicator of exposure, because the gas causes rapid olfactory fatigue which deadens the sense of smell. Use this product only under well-ventilated working conditions.
Chronic Health Effects: From MSDS
See Carcinogenicity.
Carcinogenicity: From MSDS
This product contains petroleum asphalt. Petroleum asphalt is not listed as a carcinogen by OSHA or NTP. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined there is inadequate evidence that asphalt alone is carcinogenic to humans, and that there is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of undiluted air-refined asphalts in experimental animals. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has concluded that at higher temperatures roofing asphalt fumes are a potential occupational carcinogen. If this product is heated or comes in contact with heated material, avoid breathing fumes.

This product may contain small amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) which are recognized carcinogens in humans and experimental animals.

This product contains small amounts of respirable crystalline silica (quartz and cristobalite). IARC and NTP have determined that there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of respirable crystalline silica in experimental animals and limited evidence for its carcinogenicity in humans. The physical nature of this product may help limit any inhalation hazard from crystalline silica during application and in its hardened state. However, physical forces such as grinding, drilling and other demolition work on the hardened product may liberate crystalline silica dust. Prolonged and repeated exposure to respirable silica-containing dust may have serious lung effects including silicosis, bronchitis, and lung cancer.
First Aid: From MSDS
EYE CONTACT:
Flush immediately with clear water for 20 minutes. Seek medical attention promptly.
SKIN CONTACT:
If hot asphalt contacts exposed skin, cool immediately with cold water and seek medical assistance promptly. Exercise extreme care in removing contaminated clothing to avoid damage to skin surfaces. Petroleum jelly, baby oil, or mineral oil will facilitate removal of asphalt from skin. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated leather articles. If skin has not burned, wash with soap and water.
INGESTION:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Avoid aspiration of vomit into the lungs which can cause inflammation or pneumonitis. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to prevent aspiration. Get immediate medical attention.
INHALATION:
Remove from further exposure. If unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical assistance. If breathing stops, use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Handling/Disposal
Handling: From MSDS
Store away from ignition sources, in a cool area. When materials are heated to application temperatures, precautions should be taken to prevent thermal burns.
NOTE: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an extremely toxic gas, may be emitted from heated asphalt and may accumulate in storage tanks and other confined spaces.
Disposal: From MSDS
Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations. Do not burn.
