Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHALATION: ASPHYXIANT.
MODERATE CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS,
EXCITATION, EXCESS SALIVATION, VOMITING, AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS. LACK
OF OXYGEN CAN CAUSE DEATH. CHRONIC: NO EVIDENCE OF ADVERSE EFFECTS
FROM AVAILABLE INFORMATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:A KNOWLEDGE OF THE AVAILABLE
TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION AND OF THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
OF THE MATERIAL SUGGEST THAT OVEREXPOSURE IS UNLIKELY TO AGGRAVATE
EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INGEST: PRODUCT IS A GAS AT NORMAL TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE.
CALL MD IMMED . SKIN: WASH W/SOAP & WATER. INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH
AIR. GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESP IF NOT BREATHING. GIVE OXYGEN IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT. CALL MD. EYES: FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT LEAST
15 MIN. NOTE TO MD: THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE. TREATMENT OF
OVEREXPOSURE SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT THE CONTROL OF SYMPTOMS &
CLINICAL CONDITION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:GAS MIXTURE CANNOT CATCH FIRE. USE MEDIA
APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP
. EVACUATE ALL PERS TO SAFE DIST. IMMED DELUGE CONTRS W/WATER SPRAY
FROM MAX DIST UNTIL COOL, THEN (SUP DAT)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:GAS MIX CANNOT CATCH FIRE. CONTR MAY
RUPTURE DUE TO HEAT/FIRE. NO PART OF CONTR SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO
TEMP >52C/125F. CONTRS ARE PROVIDED W/PRESS- (SUP DAT)
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERS TO SAFE DISTANCE. USE SCBA
WHERE NEEDED. SHUT OFF LEAK IF W/OUT RISK. VENT AREA OF LEAK/MOVE
LEAKING CONTR TO WELL-VENT AREA. TEST AREA, ESPECIALLY CONFINED
AREAS, FOR SUFFICIENT OXY GEN CONTENT PRIOR TO PERMITTING RE-ENTRY
OF PERS.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:HIGH PRESS GAS MIX. USE PIPING & EQUIP
ADEQ DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND PRESS TO BE ENCOUNTERED. GAS CAN CAUSE
RAPID SUFFOCATION DUE TO OXYGEN DEFICIENCY.
Other Precautions:STORE & USE W/ADEQ VENT. CLOSE VALVE WHEN NOT IN USE
& WHEN EMPTY. WHEN TWO/MORE GASES/LIQ GASES ARE MIXED, THEIR HAZ
PROPERTIES MAY COMBINE TO CREATE ADDNL, UNEXPECTED HAZ. OBTAIN &
EVALUATE SFTY INF O FOR EACH COMPONENT BEFORE (SUP DAT)
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED FOR NORMAL USE. HOWEVER,
NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED AIR-SUPP RESPIRATORS ARE REQUIRED WHILE WORKING
IN CONFINED SPACES/IN OXYGEN DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERE. RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION MUST CONFORM W/OSHA RULES AS SPECIFIED IN 29 CFR
1910.134.
Ventilation:USE LOCAL EXHAUST SYSTEM, IF NECESSARY, TO CONTROL THE
CONCENTRATION OF THIS PRODUCT IN WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE. (ING 9)
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGS .
Other Protective Equipment:METATARSAL SHOES FOR CYLINDER HANDLING.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHERE NEEDED. SELECT I/A/W OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132
& 1910.133.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
