===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE
IN BREATHING AIR MAY LEAD TO IRREGULAR BLOOD CIRCULATION HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS IN POORLY-VENTILATED SPACES OR CONFINED SPACES MAY
CAUSE A LACK OF OXYGEN, RESULTING I N A RISK OF SUFFOCATION. CARBON
DIOXIDE (CO2) IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE TOXIC. CONTACT WITH SKIN
AND/OR EYES MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Effects of Overexposure:FROST-BITE, RAPID BREATHING, HEADACHE,
NAUSEA,DIZZINESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND SUFFOCATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:SKIN: DO NOT REMOVE WITH LIQUID CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH
WITH LUKE WARM WATER AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. TREAT AS IF SKIN IS
BURNT. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: FLUSH WITH LUKE WARM WATER AT
LEAST 15 MI NUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF CAARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) CAUSE ASPHYXIATION. REMOVE
TO FRESH AIR, KEEP WARM & AT REST. APPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF
BREATHING STOPPED. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONE(INERT GAS)
Extinguishing Media:EXPOSURE TO FIRE MAY CAUSE CYLINDERS TO RUPTURE/
EXPLODE. COOL WITH WATER FROM A PROTECTED POSITION. CARBON DIOXIDE
(CO2) IS NON-COMBUSTIBLE AND USED AS AN EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DO NOT ENTER A COMPARTMENT IN WHICH CARBON
DIOXIDE HAS BEEN RELEASED TO EXTINGUISH A FIRE WITHOUT USING
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS UNLESS THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN
PROVEN TO BE SAFE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) CYLINDERS CONTAIN
UNDER PRESSURE LIQUIEFIED GAS. RELEASE OF LIQUID CARBON DIOXIDE MAY
RESULT IN THE FORMATION OF DRY-ICE THAT SUBLIMETES (SOLID
TEMPERATURE - 78.5C).
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING EQUIPMENT WHEN
ENTERING AREA UNLESS ATMOSPHERE IS PROVED TO BE SAFE. TRY TO STOP
RELEASE. IF WITHOUT RISK AND VENTILATE THE AREA. VAPOURS ARE
HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY ACC UMULATE IN LOWER AREAS CAUSING RISK OF
SUFFOCATION.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:USAGE:ONLY PROPERLY SPECIFIED
EQUIPMENT SUITABLE FOR THIS PRODUCT, ITS SUPPLY PRESSURE &
TEMPERATURE. SUCK BACK OF WATER INTO CYLINDER MUST BE PREVENTED.
CLOSE VALVE AFTER USE & MAKE SURE SYSTEM IS PR ESSURELESS. STORAGE:
KEEP IN COOL, DRY,VENTILATED STORAGE. KEEP CYLINDERS AWAY FROM
SOURCES OF HEAT.
Other Precautions:STORE CYLINDERS IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY CANNOT FALL.
STORE & TRANSPORT ONLY WITH PROTECTION CAP ON. DO NOT EXPOSE
CYLINDERS TO TEMPERATURES OVER 45C. WEAR BOOTS AND GLOVES WHEN
HANDLING CYLINDERS. CON TACT UNITOR IF IN DOUBT.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:WHEN ENTERING SPACES WHERE THE CARBON DIOXIDE
(CO2) CONCENTRATION MAYA BE HIGH, USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
EQUIPMENT.
Ventilation:ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Protective Gloves:PROTECT AGAINST LIQUID SPLASHES.
Eye Protection:PROTECT AGAINST LIQUID SPLASHES.
Other Protective Equipment:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Supplemental Safety and Health
NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

=================== Toxicological Information ===================
Toxicological Information:LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN
BREATHING AIR MAY LEAD TO IRREGULAR BLOOD CIRCULATION HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS IN POORLY-VENTILATED SPACES OR CONFINED SPACES MAY
CAUSE A LACK OF OXYGEN, RESULTING I N A RISK OF SUFFOCATION. CARBON
DIOXIDE (CO2) IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE TOXIC
===================== Ecological Information =====================
Ecological:LIQUID CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE TO
VEGATATION. RELEASE OF LARGE QUANTITIES MAY CONTRIBUTE TO TO THE
GLOBAL WARMING EFFECT.
==================== Disposal Considerations ====================
Waste Disposal Methods:DO NOT BLOW-OFF CYLINDERS IN SPACES WHERE THE
GAS CAN ACCUMULATE. ACCUMULATION IN CONFINED SPACES MAY CAUSE A
RISK OF ASPHYXIATION DUE TO REDUCED OXYGEN CONTENT IN THE BREATHING
AIR. AVOID RELEASE OF LARGE VOLUMES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. CONTACT
UNITOR FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
