LD50 LC50 Mixture: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES
Skin: YES
Ingestion: NO
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO
IARC: NO
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: ACUTE:INHALATION:LOW (3-5%) CONCENTRATIONS IN INHALED AIR
CAUSE INCREASED RESPIRATION & HEADACHE. HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE
NAUSEA, VOMITING, EVENTUAL UNCONSCIOUSNESS LEADING TO COMA & DEATH.
SKIN:C ONTINUOUS DERMAL CONT W/SOLID CO*2 COULD CAUSE FROSTBITE/CRYOGENIC
"BURNS".
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: NOT RELEVANT.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: PERSONS IN ILL HEALTH WHERE SUCH ILLNESS
WOULD BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO SOLID CARBON DIOXIDE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
TO WORK WITH OR HANDLE THIS PRODUCT.
First Aid: INGEST:CALL MD IMMEDIATELY (FP N). EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH W/POTABLE
WATER FOR MINIMUM OF 15 MINUTES, SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM MD (FP N). INHAL:REMOVE
TO FRESH AIR. IF UNCON/BRTHG IS DFCLT ADMIN ARTF RESP W/SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN.
KEEP WARM & AT REST. SKIN:FLUSH AFFECTED AREA WITH TEPID (105-115F)
WATER. SEEK MEDICAL HELP FOR THERMAL INJURY.
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: BE CERTAIN THERE IS ADEQUATE VENTILATION. PLACE
OUTSIDE IN A PROTECTED AREA WITH GOOD VENTILATION AND ALLOW TO SUBLIME. AVOID
PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SKIN.
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: DISPOSAL MUST BE I/A/W FEDERAL, STATE & LOCAL
REGULATIONS (FP N).
Handling And Storage Precautions: CO*2 IS GENERALLY DELIVERED TO CUSTOMERS IN
DRAFT-PAPER-WRAPPED BLOCKS WHICH WEIGH APPROX 50 POUNDS & ARE APPROX 1/2
CUBIC FOOT IN VOLUME.
Other Precautions: PRODS SHOULD BE STORED IN INSULATED CNTNRS WHICH OPEN FROM
TOP HAVING LOOSE-FITTING LIDS SO THAT CO*2 VAP FROM SUBLIMATION OF SOLID MAY
BE ALLOWED TO ESCAPE INTO ATM. INSULATED STOR CNTNR SHOULD BE LO CATED IN
AREA WHERE THERE IS (SUPDAT)
