SYNERGISTIC EFTS:NONE REPORTED. EYE EFTS: CONTACT W/EVAPORATING LIQ
MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE. SKIN EFTS: CONT ACT W/LIQUEFIED PROD MAY CAUSE
FROSTBITE UPON EVAP. FROSTBITE EFTS ARE A CHANGE IN COLOR OF SKIN

INFLAMED & PAINFUL. INGEST EFTS: ING EST IS UNLIKELY. CONTACT W/LIQ
MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE. INHAL EFTS: CARBON DIOXIDE IS MOST POWERFUL
CEREBRAL VASODILATOR KNOWN. INHALING LARGE CONCS CAUSES RAPID
CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO COMA & DEATH. (EFTS OF

LEADING TO CONVULSIONS, COMA & DEATH. OXYGEN DEFICIENCY DURING
PREGNANCY HAS PRDCED DEVELOPMENTAL ABNORMS IN HUMANS &
EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS.

ADVICE! IN CASE OF FREEZING OR CRYOGENIC "BURNS" BY RAPIDLY
EVAPORATING LIQ, DO NOT WASH EYES W/HOT OR EVEN TEPID WATER! REMOVE
VICTIM FROM CO NTAM SOURCE. OPEN EYELIDS WIDE TO ALLOW LIQ TO EVAP.
IF PAIN IS PRESENT, REFER VICTIM TO OPHTHALMOLOGIST FOR FURTHER
TREATMENT & FOLLOW UP. IF VICTIM CANNOT TOLERATE LIGHT, PROTECT
EYES W/LIGHT BANDAG E OR HANDKERCHIEF. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAM CLTHG &
FLUSH AFFECTED AREA W/COLD WATER & SOAP. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. MD

WELL-VENTD AREA AWAY FROM HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREAS & EMER EXITS. DO
NOT ALLOW TEMP WHERE CNTNRS ARE STORED TO EXCEED 125F(52C). CNTNRS
SHOULD BE S TORED UPRIGHT & FIRMLY SECURED TO PVNT FALLING OR BEING
KNOCKED OVER. FULL & EMPTY CYLS SHOULD BE (S ARA REG INFO)
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPROVED POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE WITH
FULL-FACE MASK AND ESCAPE BOTTLE OR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCY USE.
Ventilation:USE LOCAL EXHAUST TO PREVENT ACCUM OF HIGH CONCS SO AS TO
REDUCE OXYGEN LEVEL IN AIR TO LESS THAN 19.5% & CARBON DIOXIDE CONC
BELOW THE EXPOSURE LIMIT.

=================== Toxicological Information ===================
Toxicological Information:REPRODUCTIVE: OXYGEN DEFICIENCY DURING
PREGNANCY HAS PRODUCED DEVELOPMENTAL ABNORMALITIES IN HUMANS AND
EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS. EXPOSURE OF FEMALE RATS TO 60,000 PPM CARBON
