=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHAL: CARBON DIOXIDE IS THE
    MOST POWERFUL CEREBRAL VASODILATOR KNOWN. EXPOS MAY INCR BRTHG &
    HEART RATE. LOW CONS (3-5 MOLAR % IN AIR) CAUSE INCRD RESP & HDCH.
    8-15 MOLAR % CONCS CAUSE NAUS &  VOMIT WHICH MAY LEAD TO UNCON IF
    NOT MOVED TO OPEN AIR/GIVEN OXYGEN. HIGHER CONCS CAUSE RAPID
    (EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO
    COMA & DEATH. CHRONIC HARMFUL EFTS FROM RPTD INHAL OF LOW (3-5
    MOLAR %) CONCS ARE NOT KNOWN. CARBON DIOXIDE IS ESSENTIALLY
    NON-TOX. MAJOR HAZ IS EXCLUSIO N OF ADEQ SUPPLY OF OXYGEN TO LUNGS.

Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:PROMPT MED ATTN IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXP. RESCUE
    PERS SHOULD BE EQUIPPED W/NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA. INHAL: QUICK
    REMOVAL FROM CONTAM AREA IS MOST IMPORTANT. CONSCIOUS PERS SHOULD
    BE ASSISTE D TO UNCONTAM AREA & INHALE FRESH AIR. UNCON PERS SHOULD
    BE MOVED TO UNCONTAM AREA & GIVEN ARTF RESUSCITATION & SUPPLEMENTAL
    OXYGEN IF THEY ARE NOT BRTHG. FURTHER TREATMENT SHOULD BE (ING 3)

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:NON-FLAMMABLE GAS. USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SUITABLE
    FOR THE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS INVOLVED IN THE FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NON-HAZARDOUS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERS FROM AFFECTED AREA. USE
    APPROP PROT EQUIP. TRY TO STOP FLOW OF GAS BY CLOSING VALVES. IF
    LEAK IS IN CONTR/CONTR VALVE, CONT CHEMTREC/YOUR CLOSEST AIRCO
    LOCATION FOR EMER ASSIST. AVOI D CONT W/LIQ/COLD MATLS. USE
    INSULATED (ING 10)
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:NOTE: DUE TO PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF
    CARBON DIOXIDE, "COMPRESSED GAS" CYLS ACTUALLY CONTAIN LIQ UNDER
    PRESS AS WELL AS HIGH PRESS GAS.
Other Precautions:USE ONLY IN WELL-VENTD AREAS. CARBON DIOXIDE VAP IS
    HVR/AIR & WILL ACCUM IN LOW AREAS. CARBON DIOXIDE CAN CAUSE
    SUFFOCATION DUE TO OXYGEN DISPLACEMENT. VALVE PROT CAPS MUST REMAIN
    IN PLACE UNLESS CONT R IS SECURED W/VALVE OUTLET (ING 13)

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE
    WITH MASK OR SCBA FOR EXPOSURES ABOVE EXPOSURE LIMITS AND EMERGENCY
    USE. FOR EXPOSURES ABOVE THE IDLH (50,000 PPM) AN ADDITIONAL ESCAPE
    BOTTLE IS REQUIRED .
Ventilation:USE LOCAL EXHST & GENERAL VENT TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION
    ABOVE EXPOS LIMITS & TO PREVENT OXYGEN LEVELS LESS THAN 19.5%.
Protective Gloves:LOOSE FITTING INSULATED GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGS .
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPRVD EMERGENCY EYEWASH & DELUGE
    SHOWER . SAFETY SHOES & INSULATED FOOT PROT TO PROTECT AGAINST CONT
    W/LIQ.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Supplemental Safety and Health
APPEAR/ODOR: ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE MAY SENSE A SLIGHT PUNGENT ODOR.
    MATLS TO AVOID: W/SODIUM PEROXIDE & REACTIVE METALS MAY EXPLODE.
    CARBONIC ACID IS FORMED IN PRESENCE OF MOISTURE. EFTS OF OVEREXP:
    VA PS CAN CAUSE TISS FREEZING/FROSTBITE & CRYOGENIC "BURNS".
    INGEST: UNLIKELY. CONT W/LIQ/COLD VAPS MAY CAUSE TISS (ING 2)
