===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CARBON DIOXIDE IS AN ASPHYXIANT. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS CAN PRODUCE PARALYSIS OF THE RESPIRATORY CONTROL
CENTER OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. 2-3% WILL INCREASE RESPIRATION. >4%
PRODUCES LABORED BREATHING AND I S DANGEROUS FOR EVEN A FEW
MINUTES. >12% CAUSES RAPID UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE INGREDIENTS IN THIS PRODUCT
IS LISTED BY NTP, IARC OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:FAINT "ACIDIC" TASTE, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS,
SHORTNESS OF BREATH, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS, DROWSINESS, AND RINGING OF
THE EARS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONNEL WITH PRE-EXISTING CHRONIC
RESPIRATORY DISEASES OR HEART DISORDER SHOULD REFRAIN FROM
BREATHING EXCESSIVE CARBON DIOXIDE. RECOVERY IS USUALLY RAPID FROM
SHORT TERM OVEREXPOSURE.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:FIRST AID: INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN/CPR
IF NEEDED. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS WIHT FULL FACE MASK.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:NON-FLAMMABLE. USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPIATE
FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:CARBON DIOXIDE IS NOT EFFECTIVE IN FIRES
INVOLVING CHEMICALS THAT HAVE THEIR OWN OXYGEN SUPPLY OR ON FIRES
INVOLVING REACTIVE CHEMICALS OR THEIR HYDRYDES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE VIOLENTLY ON HEAT
OF FIRE. FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE PERSONNEL. VENTILATE AREA. WEAR SELF-
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. MOVE LEAKING CONTAINER OUTDOORS IF
WITHOUT RISK. SLOWLY RELEASE INTO ATMOSHPHERE. RETURN DEFECTIVE
CYLINDER TO SUPPLIER. TES T AREA FOR OXYGEN BEFORE ALLOWING
RE-ENTRY.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DARK, WELL VENTILATED
AREA AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT.
Other Precautions:DO NOT STORE CYLINDERS IN ENCLOSED OR SUBSURFACE
AREA. NEVER WORK ON A PRESSURIZED SYSTEM. IF THERE IS A LEAK, CLOSE
THE CYLINDER VALVE, BLOW DOWN SYSTEM BY VENTING TO A SAFE PLACE,
THEN REPAIR LEAK.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN
CONCENTRATIONS ARE ABOVE PEL.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL) AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP
EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW PEL.
Protective Gloves:LEATHER GLOVES.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OF FULL FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. SAFETY
SHOES. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES.
Work Hygienic Practices:KEEP SAFETY VALVES IN GOOD WORKING CONDITIONS.
KEEP DEBRIS AND UNNECESSARY EQUIPMENT AWAY FROM CO2 EQUIPMENT.
Supplemental Safety and Health
CLOSE VALVE WHEN NOT IN USE AND WHEN EMPTY. CARBON DIOXIDE, BEING
HEAVIER THAN AIR, TENDS TO ACCUMULATE NEAR THE FLOOR OF AN ENCLOSED
SPACE DISPLACING THE AIR AND CREATING AN OXYGEN DEFFICIENT ATMOSPH
ERE. VENTILATE BEFORE ENTRY. VERIFY SUFFICIENT OXYGEN
CONCENTRATION.
================== Physical/Chemical Properties ==================
HCC:G3
Boiling Pt:B.P. Text:-109F,-78C
Vapor Density:1.5
Solubility in Water:90 ML/100 ML @ 68F
Appearance and Odor:COLORLESS GAS, ODORLESS.
================= Stability and Reactivity Data =================

Hazardous Decomposition Products:IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ELECTRICAL
DISCHARGE, CARBON DIOXIDE IS DECOMPOSED TO FORM CARBON MONOXIDE AND
OXYGEN.
==================== Disposal Considerations ====================
Waste Disposal Methods:CONTACT YOUR LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICER.
MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS VENTING SLOWLY TO ATMOSPHERE WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATIONS. DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND
LOCAL REGULATIONS.
