===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SKIN: DO NOT EXPOSE SKIN TO VENTING
GAS FROM CYLINDER, WHICH CAN CAUSE BURNS AND BLISTERS. EYES: MAY
CAUSE CRYOGENIC BURNS IF EXPOSED TO VENTING GAS. INHALATION:
NITROGEN IS AN ASPHYXIANT. NITROGEN UN DER HIGH PRESSURE CAN CAUSE
NARCOSIS EVEN THOUGH SUFFICIENT OXYGEN IS PRESENT. THE QUANTITY
CONTAINED IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM ACCUMULATOR IS NOT EXPECTED TO
PRODUCE A HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE. INGESTION: NOT AN ANTICIPATED
ROUTE OF ENTRY. DELAYED EFFECTS: NONE EXPECTED.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NITROGEN IS NOT ON THE CARCINOGEN LISTS
OF NTP STATUS, IARC STATUS, OSHA LIST.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: BURNS AND BLISTERS. EYES: CRYOGENIC BURNS
IF EXPOSED TO VENTING GAS. INHALATION: NITROGEN IS AN ASPHYXIANT.
NITROGEN UNDER HIGH PRESSURE CAN CAUSE NARCOSIS EVEN THOUGH
SUFFICIENT OXYGEN IS PRESE NT. THE QUANTITY CONTAINED IN THE BRAKE
SYSTEM ACCUMULATOR IS NOT EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A HAZARDOUS
ATMOSPHERE. INGESTION: NOT AN ANTICIPATED ROUTE OF ENTRY. DELAYED
EFFECTS: NONE EXPECTED.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
