Health Hazards of Human Exposure to Crude Oil Fumes or Liquid or to Crude Oil Dispersants
Crude Oil Material Data Safety Sheet - Crude Oil MSDS
The Crude Oil MSDS identifies the key components in crude oil and discusses crude oil hazards, health effects from over exposure, chronic exposure to crude oil, and other information.
See MSDS Sheet for CRUDE OIL for a good summary of crude oil exposure hazards and accidental spill procedures.
This Crude Oil MSDS from Martin Marietta Materials Corp. provides health, safety, exposure, and toxicological as well as ecological information. Important basic crude oil exposure protection advice is included for persons responding to accidental release (a crude oil spill).
This Crude Oil MSDS from El Paso Corp is provided by the El Paso Corporation. The El Paso Crude Oil MSDS indicates that Toxicological and Ecological information were unavailable in this document last revised 06/26/2007.
Crude Oil Dispersant Material Data Safety Sheets - Corexit and Other Dispersants
See our full discussion of crude oil dispersants at MSDS Sheets for OIL DISPERSANTS or go directly to the individual crude oil dispersant MSDS material safety data sheets listed just below.
In addition to the MSDS links for Corexit products shown here, we have edited the Complete US EPA Table of Crude Oil Dispersants to add links to individual crude oil dispersant product MSDS in the original US EPA Dispersant list.
- The MSDS Material Data Safety Sheet For Corexit 9500 crude oil dispersant is here.
- The MSDS Material Safety Data Sheet for COREXIT® EC9527A crude oil dispersant is here - 2008 PDF document. Note: some mispellings of this product include Coreexit and Core Exit dispersant and oil dispersant chemicals.
- The MSDS Material Data Safety Sheet For Corexit 9527 crude oil dispersant is here - older 1992 version in text format
- The MSDS Material Data Safety Sheet For Corexit 9580 crude oil dispersant is here.
- The MSDS Material Data Sheet For Dispersit SPC 1000® oil dispersant. U.S. Polychemical, provides general product description at their website. U.S. Polychemical was kind enough to provide us with the copy of the MSDS for Dispersit® linked-to here.
"May 19, 2010 Addendum 2 to Dispersant Monitoring and Assessment Directive ("Addendum 2")", to Rear Admiral Mary Landry, Commander, Eighth Cost Guard District, New Orleans LA, and Samuel Coleman, P.E., Director, Superfund Division, Dallas TX, from Douglas J. Suggles, B.P. - letter, PDF (U.S. EPA) discusses a comparison of available oil dispersants and the company's basis for choosing Corexit as the dispersant of choice in the circumstances of the Gulf Oil Spill.
The letter makes plain that the need for a quick response combined with the availability of Corexit for that choice.
Readers should also see OIL TANK SAFETY where we describe the flammability and explosion hazards of fuel oil fumes and where we provide an extensive list of hazards and safety concerns for fuel oil.
Also see OIL TANK LEAK & ODOR ADVICE for our detailed advice on handling leaky oil tanks as well as links to oil tank leak regulations for U.S. states and Canadian provinces.
Readers should also see BOILER NOISE SMOKE ODORS for a discussion of flue gas leaks, smells, and hazards from the combustion products of oil burning heating appliances.

The Institute of Medicine serves as adviser to the nation to improve health.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) is an independent, nonprofit organization that works outside of government to provide unbiased and authoritative advice to decision makers and the public.
Established in 1970, the IOM is the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences, which was chartered under President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Nearly 150 years later, the National Academy of Sciences has expanded into what is collectively known as the National Academies, which comprises the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the National Research Council, and the IOM.
