===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM. INHALATION: BREATHING 80% OR MORE OXYGEN AT ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS MAY CAUSE NASAL STUFFINESS,
COUGH, SORE THROAT, CHEST PAIN & BRE ATHING DIFFICULTY. BREATHING
OXYGEN AT HIGHER PRESSURE INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF ADVERSE
EFFECTS WITHIN A SHORTER TIME PERIOD. BREATHING PURE OXYGEN UNDER
PRESSURE MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE & ALSO CNS E FFECTS, AND MAY CAUSE
PROLONGATION OF ADAPTATION TO DARKNESS AND REDUCED PERIPHERAL
VISION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:OXYGEN IS NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN OR
POTENTIAL CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC, OR OSHA SUBPART Z.
Effects of Overexposure:BREATHING 80% OR MORE OXYGEN AT ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE: NASAL STUFFINESS, COUGH, SORE THROAT, CHEST PAIN &
BREATHING DIFFICULTY. BREATHING PURE OXYGEN UNDER PRESSURE MAY
CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE & ALSO CNS EFF ECTS RESULTING IN DIZZINESS, POOR
COORDINATION, TINGLING SENSATION, VISUAL & HEARING DISTURBANCES,
MUSCULAR TWITCHING, UNCONSCIOUSNESS & CONVULSIONS, MAY CAUSE
PROLONGATION OF ADAPTATION TO DARKNESS & REDUCED PERIPHERAL
VISION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE
PULMONARY DISEASE.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR OR IF IN ELEVATED
PRESSURES REDUCE OXYGEN PRESSURES TO ONE ATMOSPHERE. CALL A
PHYSICIAN. THE PHYSICIAN SHOULD BE ADVISED THAT THE VICTIM HAS BEEN
EXPOSED TO A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF OXYGEN. NO TREATMENT IS
REQUIRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SYMPTOMS OF HIGH PRESSURE EXPOSURE.
EYE/SKIN: NOT APPLICABLE. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: ANIMAL STUDIES
SUGGEST THAT THE ADMINISTRATION OF CERTAIN DRUGS, INCLUDING
PHENOTHIAZINE DRUGS AND CHLOROQUINE, INCREASE THE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO
TOXICITY FROM OXYGEN AT HIGH PRESSURES. ANIMAL STUDIES ALSO
INDICATE THAT VITAMIN "E" DEFICIENCY (CONTINUE D TO TOXICOLOGICAL
SECTION)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:OXYGEN IS NONFLAMMABLE BUT WILL SUPPORT COMBUSTION.
USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM THE DANGER AREA.
IF POSSIBLE, SHUT OFF FLOW OF OXYGEN WHICH IS SUPPORTING THE FIRE.
IMMEDIATELY COOL CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY FROM MAXIMUM DISTANCE.
WHEN COOL MOVE CYLIN DERS FROM FIRE AREA, IF POSSIBLE WITHOUT RISK.
SELF CONTAINEED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE REQUIRED FOR RESCUE
WORKERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:OXYGEN VIGOROUSLY ACCELERATES COMBUSTION.
SOME MATERIALS WHICH ARE NONCOMBUSTIBLE IN AIR WILL BURN IN THE
PRESENCE OF AN OXYGEN ENRICHED ATMOSPHERE (GREATER THEN 23%). FIRE
RESISTANT CLOTHING MAY BURN AND OFFER NO PROTECTION IN OXYGEN RICH
ATMOSPHERES. OXYGEN MAY FORM EXPLOSIVE COMPOUNDS WHEN EXPOSED TO
COMBUSTIBLES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA.
SHUT OFF SOURCE OF OXYGEN IF POSSIBLE. INCREASE VENTILATION TO
RELEASE AREA. PERSONNEL WHO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF OXYGEN SHOULD STAY IN A WELL-VENTILATED OR OPEN
AREA FOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE GOING INTO A CONFINED SPACE OR NEAR AN
IGNITION SOURCE. IF LEAK IS FROM CONTAINER OR ITS VALVE, CALL THE
AIR PRODUCTS EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED UPRIGHT IN
A WELL-VENTILATED, SECURE AREA, PROTECTED FROM THE WEATHER. STORAGE
AREA TEMPERATURES SHOULD NOT EXCEED 125F (52C) AND AREA SHOULD BE
FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL S. STORAGE SHOULD BE AWAY FROM HEAVILY
TRAVELED AREAS AND EMERGENCY EXITS.
Other Precautions:SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: ALWAYS STORE AND HANDLE
COMPRESSED GASES IN ACCORDANCE WITH COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION,
INC. (PH. 703-412-0900) PAMPLET CGA P-1, SAFE HANDLING OF
COMPRESSED GASES IN CONTAINERS. LOCAL REGULATIONS MAY REQUIRE
SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT FOR STORAGE OR USE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:GENERAL USE: NONE REQUIRED. EMERGENCY: USE SCBA
DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF FIRE WHEN CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED 23%.
Ventilation:PROVIDE VENTILATION AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST TO PREVENT
ACCUMULATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF GAS (GREATER THAN 23%).
Protective Gloves:WORK GLOVES RECOMMENDED WHEN HANDLING CYLINDERS.
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOES RECOMMENDED WHEN HANDLING
CYLINDERS.
Work Hygienic Practices:CLOTHING EXPOSED TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY
RETAIN OXYGEN 30 MINUTES OR LONGER AND BECOME A POTENTIAL FIRE
HAZARD. STAY AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
CAUTION:COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS SHALL NOT BE REFILLED EXCEPT BY
QUALIFIED PRODUCERS OF COMPRESSED GASES. SHIPMENT OF A COMPRESSED
GAS CYLINDER WHICH HAS NOT BEEN FILLED BY THE OWNER OR WITH THE
OWNER 'S WRITTEN CONSENT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. NSN FOR GAS
ONLY: 6810-01-169-4836.

=================== Toxicological Information ===================
Toxicological Information:FROM FIRST AID: VITAMIN E DEFICIAENCY MAY
INCREASE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO OXYGEN TOXICITY. AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION
DURING HIGH OXYGEN TENSION MAY CAUSE ALVEOLAR COLLAPSE FOLLOWING
ABSORPTION OF THE OXYGEN. SIMI LARLY, OCCLUSION OF THE EUSTACHIAN
TUBS MAY CAUSE RETRACTION OF THE EARDRUM AND OBSTRUCTION OF THE
PARANASAL SINUS MAY PRODUCE "VACUUM-TYPE" HEADACHE. ALL INDIVIDUALS
EXPOSED FOR LONG PERIODS TO OXYGE N AT HIGH PRESSURE AND WHO
EXHIBIT OVERT OXYGEN TOXICITY SHOULD HAVE OPHTHALMOLOGIC
EXAMINATIONS.
===================== Ecological Information =====================
Ecological:ATMOSPHERE CONTAINS 21% OXYGEN. NO ADVERSE ECOLOGICAL
EFFECTS ARE EXPECTED. OXYGEN DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY CLASS I CLASS II
OZONE DEPLETING CHEMICALS. OXYGEN IS LISTED AS A MARINE POLLUTANT
BY DOT (29 CF R 171).
==================== Disposal Considerations ====================
Waste Disposal Methods:FOR EMERGENCY DISOSAL, SECURE CYLINDER AND
SLOWLY DISCHARGE GAS TO THE ATMOSPHERE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA OR
OUTDOORS. UNUSED PRODUCT/EMPTY CONTAINER:RETURN CONTAINER AND
UNUSED PRODUCT TO SUPPLIER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF RESIDUAL
OR UNUSED QUANTITIES.
