    Gasoline is a refined product of petroleum consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons, additives, and blending agents.The composition of gasoline varies widely, depending on the crude oils used, the refinery processes available, the overall balance of product demand, and the product specifications.

    3. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL INFORMATION

    3.1 CHEMICAL IDENTITY


    Gasoline is a refined product of petroleum consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons, additives, and
    blending agents. The composition of gasolines varies widely, depending on the crude oils used, the
    refinery processes available, the overall balance of product demand, and the product specifications.
    The typical composition of gasoline hydrocarbons (% volume) is as follows: 4-8% alkanes; 2-5%
    alkenes; 25-40% isoalkanes; 3-7% cycloalkanes; l-4% cycloalkenes; and 20-50% total aromatics
    (0.5-2.5% benzene) (IARC 1989). Additives and blending agents are added to the hydrocarbon
    mixture to improve the performance and stability of gasoline (IARC 1989; Lane 1980). These
    compounds include anti-knock agents, anti-oxidants, metal deactivators, lead scavengers, anti-rust
    agents, anti-icing agents, upper-cylinder lubricants, detergents, and dyes (IARC 1989; Lane 1980). At
    the end of the production process, finished gasoline typically contains more than 150 separate
    compounds although as many as 1,000 compounds have been identified in some blends (Domask
    1984; Mehlman 1990). Information regarding the chemical identity of gasoline is located in
    Table 3-l.
    3.2 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
    Information regarding the physical and chemical properties for the gasoline mixture is located in
    Table 3-2. In cases where data are not available for gasoline, ranges are given to indicate the different
    values for the individual components.
