Legend for Hazard Description

   Warning

   Toxic

   Carcinogen, or possible carcinogen

Almost every material is hazardous in some capacity. Don't let that scare you off! Next time you're filling your car at the gas station, notice the warning label. Gasoline is harmful & possibly fatal if swallowed. The fumes are harmful. Chronic inhalation of fumes has caused cancer in tests on laboratory animals. This substance is something we deal with on a daily basis. We try not to get it on our hands, we try not to breathe the fumes, we don't get it in our eyes. Use common sense & caution with any hazardous material.
