Automotive LPG is a mixture of C<sub>2<\/sub>, C<sub>3<\/sub>, C<sub>4<\/sub> hydrocarbons. Inhaled hydrocarbons act like drugs on the human body, causing nervous and cardiac problems, irritation to the respiratory tract and eyes. Inhalation of high concentrations of gases can cause unconsciousness or suffocation due to lack of oxygen, even for a short period of time. Liquefied gases can cause frostbite if they get on the skin or in the eyes due to intense evaporation. When they burn, they release carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and saturated hydrocarbons.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Petrol.<\/strong> Petrol vapours irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory system. The liquid product can cause irritation to the eyes and skin. Petrol can contain up to 1% benzene by volume, which is classified as a category 2 carcinogen, therefore, long-term exposure can cause cancer, anaemia, leukaemia and other diseases. Inhalation of product vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. The combustion of petrol produces carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, saturated hydrocarbons and sulphur oxides.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Diesel.<\/strong> Diesel vapours irritate the respiratory system. Inhalation of large amounts of diesel vapours can lead to chemical poisoning. Diesel can contain significant amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (up to 11 % by weight). Experimental studies have shown that some of these hydrocarbons can cause cancer. Prolonged and repeated exposure to diesel causes dry and cracked skin.

This clear, colourless mixture is stable at standard natural temperatures, but at high temperatures the vapour (heavier than air) can ignite and explode from an open flame or spark.
