Exposure to automotive gasoline most likely occurs from
breathing its vapor at a service station while filling a car's
fuel tank. At high levels, automotive gasoline is irritating to the
lungs when breathed in and irritating to the lining of the
stomach when swallowed. Exposure to high levels may also cause harmful effects to the
nervous system. Automotive gasoline has been found in at least 23 of the 1,430 National Priorities List sites identified by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
