DIESEL FUEL #2 CAS 68334-30-5
http://193.51.164.11/htdocs/monographs/vol45/45-05.htm
In a case-control study of cancer at many sites, there was evidence of an
increased risk for squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung in men estimated to have
had substantial exposure to diesel fuel. There was also an indication of an
increased risk for cancer of the prostate. No attempt was made to separate the
effects of combustion products from those of exposure to diesel fuel itself.
Inhalation or ingestion of diesel fuel resulted in acute and persistent lung damage in humans.
Application of marine diesel fuel to the skin of mice resulted in ulceration.
In a single study, diesel fuel induced chromosomal aberrations in bone-marrow cells of rats; it did not induce mutation in cultured mammalian cells but was weakly mutagenic to bacteria. Another sample did not induce mutation in bacteria or algae; a sample of marine diesel fuel and aliphatic and aromatic fractions of a further sample were also not mutagenic to bacteria.
One sample of marine diesel fuel was tested for carcinogenicity in one strain of mice by skin application, producing a few squamous-cell carcinomas and papillomas at the application site in animals of each sex and a few carcinomas at the adjacent inguinal region in males.
Two samples of straight-run kerosene [5], one sample of light vacuum distillate [19] and three samples of light catalytically cracked distillate [24] produced skin tumours in mice. Some residues from thermal cracking [31] produced benign and malignant skin tumours in mice. (See the monograph on occupational exposures in petroleum refining.)
N.B. - Subsequent to the meeting, the secretariat became aware of a study in which skin tumours were reported in mice after application to the skin of petroleum diesel (boiling range, 198-343 °C) [corresponding to diesel fuel No. 2] (Clark et al., 1988).

Human Health Effects:
Evidence for Carcinogenicity:
Classification of carcinogenicity: Overall
summary evaluation of carcinogenic risk to humans is Group 3: The agent is not
classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. /Distillate (light) fuel oils/
Human Toxicity Excerpts:
Aspiration hazard. The lower boiling point
products, such as gasoline or kerosene, produce severe chemical pneumonitis if
inhaled into the lungs, as can easily occur in the case of liquid petroleum
products with a viscosity below 45 SUS (Saybolt Universal Viscosity) ... at 100
deg C.
Dermatitis /hazard/. Dermatitis from lower
boiling-point products may develop. ... If articles must be dipped in low
boiling-point products, protective gloves should be used, or mechanical means
developed. Employees should be discouraged from washing their hands in gasoline
or kerosene. ... Heavier, more viscous products may plug skin follicles and lead
to dermatitis. ... Certain heavy fuel oils, containing significant quantities of
highly cracked stocks boiling above 370 deg C, may contain carcinogens. Repeated
exposure should be avoided, using protective equipment where necessary, and
washing thoroughly with soap and water if contact has occurred.
Subcutaneous injection of petroleum distillate
produces cellulitis and sterile abcesses, which respond to incision and
drainage. /Petroleum distillate/
High viscosity petroleum distillates (eg,
heavy lubricants, mineral oil, liquid paraffin) produce a lipoid pneumonia that
is more localized and less inflammatory than that produced by low-viscosity
petroleum distillates such a kerosene or mineral seal oil. Hemorrhagic
pneumonitis does not occur. Although the chronic granulomatous changes may
produce a longer, more indolent course than low-viscosity petroleum distillate
pneumonias. A typical mycobacterial infection complicated several cases of
lipoid pneumonia that occurred in elderly patients chronically ingesting
laxatives.
Inhalation causes headache and slight
giddiness. Ingestion causes nausea, vomiting, and cramping; depression of
central nervous system ranging from mild headache to anesthesia, coma, and
death; pulmonary irritation secondary to exhalation of solvent; signs of kidney
and liver damage may be delayed. Aspiration causes severe lung irritation with
coughing, gagging, dyspnea, substernal distress, and rapidly developing
pulmonary edema; later, signs of bronchopneumonia and pneumonitis; acute onset
of central nervous system excitement followed by depression.
Skin, Eye and Respiratory Irritations:
Slight smarting of eyes or respiratory system
if present in high concentrations.
Probable Routes of Human Exposure:
Occupational exposure to Fuel Oil No. 2 may
occur by inhalation or dermal contact during its production, formulation, and
use(SRC). Exposure to the general population may occur by inhalation or dermal
contact during its use in residential oil burners(1,SRC).
NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has
statistically estimated that 73,329 workers are potentially exposed to Fuel Oil
No. 2 in the USA(1).
Antidote and Emergency Treatment:
The primary threat to life from pure petroleum
distillate ingestion is respiratory failure. Patients should be quickly
evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (eg cyanosis, tachypnea,
intercoastal retractions, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with
inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (PO2 < 50 mm Hg or PCO2
> 50 mm Hg) should be intubated. Since arrythmias complicate some hydrocarbon
ingestions and electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been
reported, intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in
obviously symptomatic patients. A chest X ray should be taken immediately after
stablization of breathing and circulation to document aspiration and detect the
presence of pneumothorax. Continous positive airway pressure or positive end
expiratory pressure and intubation may be necessary in severe cases to maintain
adequate oxygenation. ... Inhaled cardioselective bronchodilators (eg Alupent,
salbutamol) are the preferred bronchodilator agents, with aminophylline a second
choice. /Petroleum distillate/

classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. /Distillate (light) fuel oils/
Non-Human Toxicity Excerpts:
Several studies have shown pronounced effects
of fuel oil No. 2 on the reproductive capacity of birds after application on the
shell surface (decreased hatchability, deformed bills, dead embryos).
Studies in chick embryos with fractionated
fuel oil No. 2 indicated that toxicity was associated primarily with the two- to
three-ring aromatic fraction.
As reported in a review of teratology studies
in rats exposed to different fuels by inhalation, exposure of animal on days
6-15 of gestation for 6 hr per day to ... 85 and 410 ppm fuel oil No. 2 resulted
in no teratogenic effect.
Fuel oil No. 2 induced chromosomal aberrations
in the bone marrow of Sprague Dawley rats administered 0.125-1.25 g/kg body
weight per day by gavage for five successive days.
Of three fraction of fuel oil No. 2 tested in
Salmonella typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100, only the four- to
seven-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon fraction induced a dose-dependent
increase in the number of revertant in strain TA100 in the presence of an
exogenous metabolic system from Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver. The same
fraction and the one- to three-ring aromatic hydrocarbon fraction caused
dose-dependent increases in the frequency of sister chromatid exchange, but not
of chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells in the presence of an
exogenous metabolic system from Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver.
Fuel oil No. 2 gave borderline positive
results for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 both in the
presence and absence of an exogenous metabolic system from rat liver, using the
pate incorporation method (0.26-42 mg/plate), while it was clearly mutagenic to
mouse lymphoma L5178Y TK = or - cells in forward mutation assays at a
concentration of 1.2 ug/ml in the absence of an exogenous metabolic system,
giving a mutation frequency 17.1 times that in solvent control cultures.
Non-Human Toxicity Values:

LD50 Rat oral 15.7 g/kg body weight
LD50 Rat oral 17.5 g/kg body weight

Environmental Fate & Exposure:
Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary:
Fuel Oil No. 2 is composed chiefly of
unbranched paraffins. The distillation (90%) point, or boiling range, of 282-338
deg C suggests that these compounds are the C16-C19 alkanes. Typical analysis
also indicates the presence of C8 naphthalenes, C1 and C4 dibenzothiophenes, C1
phenanthrenes, dimethyl indan, dimethyl tetralin, and methyl naphthalenes. Fuel
Oil No. 2 is released to the environment during its production, formulation, and
use. Direct release to aquatic environments occurs during its use in mosquito
control as a coating on breeding waters. If released to soil, Fuel Oil No. 2
will strongly adsorb. It may biodegrade in water and soil or volatilize from
water (half-life of 4.4- 4.8 hrs from a model river) and moist soil surfaces,
but adsorption may attenuate the rate of these processes. In water adsorption to
sediment should be important. Bioconcentration in aquatic organisms may be
limited for the chief components due to metabolism. If released to the
atmosphere, degradation of vapor phase components of Fuel Oil No.2 by reaction
with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals (estimated half-life on the
order of 1 day or less) will be important. Exposure of the general population to
Fuel Oil No. 2 may occur by inhalation or dermal contact during its use in
residential oil burners. Occupational exposure may occur by inhalation or dermal
contact during its production, formulation, and use. (SRC)
Probable Routes of Human Exposure:
Occupational exposure to Fuel Oil No. 2 may
occur by inhalation or dermal contact during its production, formulation, and
use(SRC). Exposure to the general population may occur by inhalation or dermal
contact during its use in residential oil burners(1,SRC).
NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has
statistically estimated that 73,329 workers are potentially exposed to Fuel Oil
No. 2 in the USA(1).
Artificial Pollution Sources:
Fuel Oil No. 2, also known as diesel oil, is
used in drilling fluids, and as fuel for trucks, ships, and other automotive
equipment(1). Its major use is for residential oil burners(2,4). It may be
released to the environment during its production, formulation, and use(SRC).
Accidental release of Fuel Oil No. 2 to waterways may occur during shipping(3).
Direct release to aquatic environments may occur if it is used in mosquito
control as a coating on breeding waters(1).
Environmental Fate:
TERRESTRIAL FATE: The chief components of Fuel
Oil No. 2 are expected to be C16-C19 unbranched alkanes(1,2,SRC) and typical
analysis also indicates the presence of C8 naphthalenes, C1 and C4
dibenzothiophenes, C1 phenanthrenes, dimethyl indan, dimethyl tetralin, and
methyl naphthalenes(3). Based on estimated Koc values of >10,000(4,5,SRC) the
chief components of Fuel Oil No. 2 are expected to very strongly adsorb and be
essentially immobile in soil. Microorganisms have the capacity to biodegrade
normal alkanes in the range of C16-C19(6). However, adsorption may attenuate the
rate of biodegradation(SRC).
AQUATIC FATE: The chief components of Fuel Oil
No. 2 are expected to be C16-C19 n-alkanes(1,2,SRC) and typical analysis also
indicates the presence of C8 naphthalenes, C1 and C4 dibenzothiophenes, C1
phenanthrenes, dimethyl indan, dimethyl tetralin, and methyl naphthalenes(3).
Based on estimated Koc and BCF values of >10,000(4,5,SRC) the C16-C19 n-alkanes
are expected to strongly adsorb to sediment and suspended organic matter and may
bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC). However, metabolism may limit the
importance of bioconcentration. Volatilization from water is fast with estimated
half-lives for the chief components of 4.4-4.8 hrs from a model river(4);
however, strong adsorption should attenuate this process(SRC). Microorganisms
have the capacity to biodegrade normal alkanes in the range of C16-C19(7).
However, adsorption to sediment may attenuate the rate of biodegradation(SRC).
ATMOSPHERIC FATE: The chief components of Fuel
Oil No. 2 are expected to be C16-C19 unbranched alkanes(1,2,SRC) and typical
analysis also indicates the presence of C8 naphthalenes, C1 and C4
dibenzothiophenes, C1 phenanthrenes, dimethyl indan, dimethyl tetralin, and
methyl naphthalenes(4). The rate constants for the vapor phase reaction of these
representative classes of compounds with photochemically-produced hydroxyl
radicals can be estimated to be about 1X10-11-1X10-10 cu-cm/molec-sec at 25 deg
C(3) which correspond to atmospheric half-lives on the order of 1 day or less
based on an average atmospheric hydroxyl radical concn of 5X10+5 molec/cu-cm(3,SRC).
Environmental Biodegradation:
The chief components of Fuel Oil No. 2 are
expected to be C16-C19 unbranched alkanes(2,3,SRC). Microorganisms have the
capacity to biodegrade normal alkanes in the range of C16-C19(1); BOD bottles
incubated in the dark at 25 deg C using a soil inoculum, exhibited 5.3 ug/ml O2
consumption after a 5 day incubation period for hexadecane and 3.3 ug/ml O2
consumption after 5 days for octadecane(1).
Environmental Abiotic Degradation:
The chief components of Fuel Oil No. 2 are
expected to be C16-C19 unbranched alkanes(1,2,SRC) and typical analysis
indicates the presence of C8 naphthalenes, C1 and C4 dibenzothiophenes, C1
phenanthrenes, dimethyl indan, dimethyl tetralin, and methyl naphthalenes(4).
The rate constants for the vapor phase reaction of these representative classes
of compounds with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals can be estimated to
be about 1X10-11 to 1X10-10 cu-cm/molec-sec at 25 deg C(3) which correspond to
atmospheric half-lives on the order of 1 day or less based on an average
atmospheric hydroxyl radical concn of 5X10+5 molec/cu-cm(3,SRC).
Environmental Bioconcentration:
To determine if blue crabs can bioaccumulate
and retain complex mixt of petroleum hydrocarbons, adult crabs were exposed for
14 days or 30-35 days in continuous flow-through seawater systems to 3 sublethal
concn, nominally 0.00 (control), 0.01, or 1.0 ppm (mg/l, of the
water-accommodated fraction of No. 2 fuel oils. Crabs exposed for 14 days were
subsequently exposed to clean running seawater for 7 days whereas crabs exposed
for 30-35 days, were placed into clean running seawater for a 30 day depuration
period. Gill, hepatopancreas, and muscle tissue samples were collected from
control, water-accommodated fraction exposed, and depurated crabs and analyzed
by GC and/or GC/MS. No. 2 fuel oil cmpd were not detected in any of the tissues
collected from control crabs. Trace amt of fuel oil cmpd were detected in gill
and hepatopancreas tissues collected from crabs exposed to the 0.01 ppm WAF and
no fuel oil cmpd were detected in muscle tissues. All tissues of crabs exposed
to the 1.0 ppm water-accommodated fraction accumulated No. 2 fuel oil cmpd. and
considerable amt remained in hepatopancreas and gill tissues following
depuration for 30 days in clean seawater.
The chief components of Fuel Oil No. 2 are
expected to be C16-C19 unbranched alkanes(1,2,SRC). The BCF values for these
compounds can be estimated to be 10,000-14,000 based on a regression derived
equation(3) and estimated log Kows of 8.2-9.7(4). Based on this BCF range,
thesecomponents of Fuel Oil No. 2 have a very high potential to bioconcentrate
in aquatic organisms, but limited experimental data on the n-alkanes would
suggest that bioconcentration may not be important due to metabolism(SRC). For
example, the BCF for hexadecane (C16) was determined to be less than 100 by the
Japanese MITI test(5).
Soil Adsorption/Mobility:
The chief components of Fuel Oil No. 2 are
expected to be C16-C19 unbranched alkanes(1,2,SRC). The Koc values for these
compounds can be estimated to be >10,000 based on a regression derived
equation(3) and estimated log Kows of 8.2-9.7(4). According to a suggested
classification scheme(5), the estimated Kocs indicate that the chief components
of Fuel Oil No. 2 will be immobile in soil(SRC).
Volatilization from Water/Soil:
The chief components of Fuel Oil No. 2 are
expected to be C16-C19 unbranched alkanes(1,2,SRC). The Henry's Law constants
for these compounds can be estimated to be 29-68 atm-cu m/mole at 25 deg C based
on a structure activity relationship(3). The magnitude of these Henry's Law
constant values indicate that Fuel Oil No. 2 should rapidly volatilize from
water to the atmosphere(SRC). Based on these Henry's Law constants, the
volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep flowing 1 m/sec with a
wind velocity of 3 m/sec) can be estimated to be 4.4-4.8 hours(4,SRC).

DOT Emergency Guidelines:
Fire or explosion: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be
easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures
with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors
are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or
confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors,
outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a "P" may
polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may
create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many
liquids are lighter than water. Substances may be transported hot. /Fuel oil;
Fuel oil, no. 1,2,4,5,6/

may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive
and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire
control or dilution water may cause pollution. /Fuel oil; Fuel oil, no.
1,2,4,5,6/
Public safety: CALL Emergency Response
Telephone Number. ... Isolate spill or leak area immediately for at least 25 to
50 meters (80 to 160 feet) in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away.
Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
/Fuel oil; Fuel oil, no. 1,2,4,5,6/
Protective clothing: Wear positive pressure
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters' protective
clothing will only provide limited protection. /Fuel oil; Fuel oil, no.
1,2,4,5,6/
Evacuation: ... Fire: If tank, rail car or
tank truck is involved in a fire, isolate for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all
directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all
directions. /Fuel oil; Fuel oil, no. 1,2,4,5,6/
Fire: Caution: All these products have a very
low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. Small
fires: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. Large fires: Water spray,
fog or regular foam. Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. Move
containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Fire involving tanks or
car/trailer loads: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders
or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting
safety devices or discoloration of tank. Always stay away from tanks engulfed in
fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is
impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. /Fuel oil; Fuel oil, no.
1,2,4,5,6/
Spill or leak: Eliminate all ignition sources
(no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used
when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled
material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to
reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible
material and transfer to containers. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect
absorbed material. Large spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later
disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed
spaces. /Fuel oil; Fuel oil, no. 1,2,4,5,6/
First aid: Move victim to fresh air. Call 911
or emergency medical service. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not
breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate
contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately
flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. Wash skin with
soap and water. Keep victim warm and quiet. Ensure that medical personnel are
aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.
