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

LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: LOW CONCENTRATIONS (3-5
    MOLAR %) CAUSE INCREASED RESPIRATION AND HEADACHE.EIGHT TO 15 MOLAR
    % CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, AND VOMITING WHICH MAY
    LEAD TO UNCONSCIOUSNESS IF NOT M OVED TO OPEN AIR OR GIVEN OXYGEN.
    HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE RAPID CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING
    TO COMA AND DEATH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:CARBON DIOXIDE IS THE MOST POWERFUL VASODILATOR
    KNOWN. INHALING LARGE CONCENTRATIONS CAUSES RAPID CIRCULATORY
    INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO COMA AND DEATH. CHRONIC HARMFUL EFFECTS
    ARE NOT KNOWN FROM REPEAT ED INHALATION OF LOW (3-5 MOLAR %)
    CONCENTRATIONS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

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

First Aid:PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF
    OVEREXPOSURE TO CARBON DIOXIDE. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED
    WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. INHALATION: ASSIST
    CONSCIOUS PERSONS  TO FRESH AIR. QUICK REMOVAL FROM CONTAMINATED
    AREA IS MOST IMPORTANT. MOVE UNCONSCIOUS PERSONS TO FRESH AIR, GIVE
    CPR AND OXYGEN.ASSURE VOMIT DOES NOT OBSTRUCT AIRWAY.TREAT
    SYMPTOMATIC AND SUPPORTIVE.

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

Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:NONFLAMMABLE, INERT GAS. USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR
    SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE PROCEDURE APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING
    FIRE.

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

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA. USE
    APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. REMOVE LEAKING CONTAINER TO OPEN,
    SAFE AREA.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL
    DAMAGE. STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT ALLOW
    TEMPERATURE WHERE CYLINDER IS STORED TO EXCEED 130F.
Other Precautions:AT NORMAL TEMPERATURES CARBON DIOXIDE IS COMPATIBLE
    WITH MOST PLASTICS AND ELASTOMERS. COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS SHOULD
    NOT BE REFILLED EXCEPT BY QUALIFIED PRODUCERS OF COMPRESSED GASES.

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

Respiratory Protection:POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE WITH MASK OR
    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR
    EMERGENCY USE.
Ventilation:PROVIDE SUFFICIENT VENTILATION TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION
    ABOVE THE TWA.
Protective Gloves:FOR LARGE CYLINDER HANDLING:ANY MATERIAL
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES OR GLASSES IF NEEDED.
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOES FOR LARGE CYLINDERS.
Work Hygienic Practices:NORMAL WORKPLACE HYGENIC PRACTICE IS ADEQUATE.
