LD50 LC50 Mixture: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES
Skin: NO
Ingestion: YES
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO
IARC: NO
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: ACETYLENE IS A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT. OXYGEN LEVELS SHOULD BE
MAINTAINED AT GREATER THAN 18 MOLAR PERCENT AT NORMAL ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO A PARTIAL PRESSURE OF 135 MMHG. HIGH CONCENT RATIONS
OF ACETYLENE AS TO EXCLUDE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF OXYGEN TO THE LUNGS CAUSES
DIZZINESS, (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: NOT RELEVANT
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HLTH HAZ: DEEPER BRTHG DUE TO AIR HUNGER,
POSSIBLE NAUSEA AND EVENTUAL UNCON. ACETYLENE IS RELATIVELY INACTIVE
BIOLOGICALLY ESSENTIALLY NONTOXIC; THEREFORE, THE MAJOR HAZARD IS THE
EXCLUSION OF AN ADE QUATE SUPPLY OF OXYGEN TO THE LUNGS. LOW CONCENTRATIONS
(10-20% IN AIR) CAUSE SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO THAT OF
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
First Aid: INHAL:PROMPT MED ATTN IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXP.
PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED W/NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA. VICTIMS SHOULD BE
ASSISTED TO AN UNCONTAM AREA & INHALE FRESH AIR. QUICK REMOVAL FROM THE
CONTAM AREA IS MOST IMPORTANT. IF BRTHG HAS STOPPED ADMIN ARTF RESUSCITATION
& SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN. FURTHER TREATMENT SHOULD BY SYMPTOMATIC AND
SUPPORTIVE. KEEP VICTIM WARM & QUIET.

Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: EVAC ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREAS. USE APPROP
PROT EQUIP. IF LEAK IS IN USER'S EQUIP, BE CERTAIN TO PURGE PIPING W/AN INERT
GAS PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING REPAIRS. IF LEAK IS IN CNTNR/CNTNR VALVE, CNTCT

Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF WASTE OR UNUSED
QUANTITIES. RETURN IN THE SHIPPING CNTNR PROPERLY LABELED, W/ANY VALVE OUTLET
PLUGS OR CAPS SECURED & VALVE PROT CAP IN PLACE TO HOLOX FOR PROPER
DISPOSAL.
Handling And Storage Precautions: USE ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. VALVE
PROTECTION CAPS MUST REMAIN IN PLACE UNLESS CNTNR IS SECURED W/VALVE
PROTECTION OUTLET PIPED TO USE POINT.
Other Precautions: DO NOT DRAG, SLIDE/ROLL CYLINDERS. USE A SUITABLE HAND TRUCK
FOR CYLINER MOVEMENT. USE A PRESSURE REDUCING REGULATOR WHEN REMOVING GAS
FROM THE CYLINDER. DO NOT ALLOW THE FREE GAS TO EXCEED 15 PSI (20 7K PA) @
70F (21.1C). DO NOT
