Inhaled products storage conditions

Kerosene may enter the water or soil environment as a result of regular use (e.g., evaporation of pesticide solvent), from spills during use or transportation, or from leaking storage facilities. The relatively low vapor pressure of kerosene makes inhalation exposure unlikely under ordinary occupational conditions unless conditions of poor ventilation exist. The combustion product of burned kerosene, carbon monoxide, is of real concern when kerosene heaters are not vented. Exposure to kerosene mist can occur as kerosene is often applied in the form of a spray. Eye and skin contact with kerosene and kerosene mists and vapors can occur. The exposure pathway usually of...
