===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN THE AMBIENT AIR CAN REDUCE THE
OXYGEN CONTENT NECESSARY TO SUPPORT LIFE. IN THE SOLID PHASE (DRY
ICE), CONTACT WITH BODY TISSUE WILL PRODU CE COLD BURNS OR
FROSTBITE WITHIN SEVERAL SECONDS. ACCORDING TO CGA PAMPHLET #G-6,
THE MAXIMUM EXPOSURE LIMIT OF A *
Effects of Overexposure:*HEALTHY MALE UNDER EXERCISING CONDITIONS IN
AIR HAVING A 7% CONCENTRATION OF CO2 BY VOLUME IS LESS THAN 3
MINUTES. SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, WEAKNESS,
DROWSINESS AND RINGING IN EARS. DRY ICE IN CONTACT WITH BODY
TISSUE PRODUCES A "BURNING" SENSATION; AND FROSTBITE OCCURS WITHIN
SEVERAL SECONDS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:ANY CONDITION THAT WOULD BE
AGGRAVATED BY A REDUCED QUANTITY OF NORMAL QUALITY BREATHING AIR.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE AN INDIVIDUAL FROM THE SCENE OF AN
OVEREXPOSURE WITHOUT UTILIZING PROPER RESCUE EQUIPMENT OR YOU MAY
BECOME A CASUALTY. REMOVE VICTIM FROM CARBON DIOXIDE, PROVIDE
PLENTY OF FR ESH AIR WHILE KEEPING SUCH PERSON WARM,DRY AND QUIET.
IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NA
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONFINEMENT OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN VESSELS
OR CONTAINERS OR IMPROPER DESIGN CAN RESULT IN EXPLOSION OR RUPTURE
FROM OVER-PRESSURIZATION.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE THE AREA OF THE SPILL OR RELEASE,
EMPLOY EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES, PROVIDE PLENTY OF FRESH AIR.
REMOVE DRY ICE RESIDUAL AND ALLOW TO SUBLIME IN A SECURED,
WELL-VENTILATED AREA AND CONTA CT THE MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY
DEPARTMENT.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:LIQUID/VAPOR STORAGE CONTAINERS ARE
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. DO NOT MISHANDLE OR ABUSE CONTAINERS. USE
CONTAINERS/EQUIPMENT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CO2.
Other Precautions:AVOID DIRECT SKIN CONTACT WITH DRY ICE OR VENTING CO2
LIQUID OR VAPOR. USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING AND GET
PROPER TRAINING BEFORE HANDLING CARBON DIOXIDE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS-USE IN STRICT
ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST: PASSIVE SYSTEM: FLOOR LEVEL, OPENINGS TO
OUTDOOR ATMOSPHERE. MECHANICAL: ELECTRICAL FANS: REMOVE CO2 **
Protective Gloves:HEAVY TERRY-CLOTH TYPE.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS.
Other Protective Equipment:HARD HATS AND EAR PROTECTION SHOULD BE WORN
WHEN WORKING WITH PRESSURIZED CARBON DIOXIDE.
Work Hygienic Practices:PERSONS HANDLING CARBON DIOXIDE SHOULD BE FULLY
TRAINED IN ADVANCE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
CARBON DIOXIDE IS INERT AND NONFLAMMABLE. **FROM FLOOR & LOW
AREAS-EXHAUST OUTDOORS. BE SURE HEAVY CO2 VAPORS CAN'T ACCUMULATE.
================== Physical/Chemical Properties ==================

ACRYLALDEHYDE OR ETHYLENEIMINE.
==================== Disposal Considerations ====================
Waste Disposal Methods:ALLOW CARBON DIOXIDE TO RELEASE, SUBLIME OR
DISSIPATE IN THE OPEN AIR. AVOID RELEASING IN COURTYARDS OR INDOORS
OR ANY AREAS WHERE HEAVY CARBON DIOXIDE VAPORS CAN ACCUMULATE.
