Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CARBON DIOXIDE IS AN ASPHYXIANT GAS
WHICH HAS PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS CAN ALSO RESUL TIN NARCOSIS. CONTACT WITH COLD,
RAPIDLY EXPANDING GASES CAN CAUSE FROSTB ITE AND DAMAGE TO EXPOSED
SKIN AND EYES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS COMPOUND CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS AT
CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.1% OR GREATER THAT ARE CARCINOGENS OR SUSPECT
CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:FROSTBITE, ASPHYXIATION, INCREASE BREATHING
RATE, HEADACHE, TIREDNESS, IMPAIRED HEARING, INCREASE IN BLOOD
PRESSURE/HEART RATE, VISUAL IMPAIRMENT, RINGING IN EARS, IMPAIRED
JUDGMENT, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS MAY BE
AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. TRAINED
PERSONNEL SHOULD ADMINISTER SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND/OR
CARDIO-PULMONARY RESUSCITATION. SKIN:REMOVE ANY CLOTHING THAT MAY
RESTRICT CIRCULATION TO FROZEN AREA. DO NOT RUB. PLACE AFFECTED
AREA IN WARM WATER BATH. NEVER USE HOT WATER. NEVER USE DRY HEAT.
EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN. GET
MEDICAL ATTN IN ALL CASES
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Lower Limits:NOT GIVEN
Upper Limits:NOT GIVEN
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE IS COMMONLY USED AS AN EXTINGUISHING
AGENT FOR CLASS B & C FIRES. USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:CARBON DIOXIDE DOES NOT BURN, HOWEVER,
CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE OR BURST IN HEAT OF FIRE. COOL TANKS AND
CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE WITH WATER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT WITH COLD, GASEOUS OR SOLID
CARBON DIOXIDE MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE IMMEDIATE AREA. PROPER PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE USED. LOCATE AND SEAL SOURCE OF LEAKING GAS.
ALLOW GAS TO DISSIPATE. MONITOR THE SURROUNDING AREA FOR CARBON
DIOXIDE AND OXYGEN LEVELS.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED UPRIGHT &
FIRMLY SECURED TO PREVENT FALLING OR BEING KNOCKED OVER. CYLINDER
SHOULD BE PROTECTED AGAINST WEATHER EXTREMES.
Other Precautions:CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED IN DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
AREAS AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT, IGNITION AND DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
STORE CONTAINERS AWAY FROM HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREAS AND EMERGENCY
EXITS. STORE AWAY FR OM PROCESS AND PRODUCTION AREAS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IF CO2
LEVELS ABOVE 19.5%. USE SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IF CO2
LEVELS ARE ABOVE 40,000 PPM OR DURING EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO A
RELEASE.
Ventilation:EXHAUST VENTILATION SUFFICIENT TO KEEP AIRBORNE
CONCENTRATIONS BELOW RESPECTIVE TLV'S.
Protective Gloves:LEATHER OR THERMALLY INSULATED
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:USE BODY PROTECTION APPROPRIATE FOR TASK.
SAFETY SHOES ARE RECOMMENDED WHEN HANDLING CYLINDERS.
Work Hygienic Practices:BE AWARE OF ANY SIGNS OF DIZZINESS OR FATIGUE;
EXPOSURES TO FATAL CONCENTRATIONS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT
WARNING
Supplemental Safety and Health
THE LEVEL OF CARBON DIOXIDE MUST BE BELOW 3% AND THE ATMOSPHERE MUST
HAVE AT LEAST 19.5% OXYGEN BEFORE PERSONNEL CAN BE ALLOWED IN AREAS
