RTECS #:PA5425000
> Wt:99.

=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:RATS, LC50: >800,000 PPM (V/V) 4 HR.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE CONTACT: THE LIQUID FORM OF THIS
    MATERIAL CAN PRODUCE CHILLING SENSATIONS AND DISCOMFORT. SKIN
    CONTACT: EVAPORATION OF LIQUID FROM THE SKIN CAN PRODUCE CHILLNG
    SENSATIONS. FROSTBITE CAN OCCUR. INH ALATION: VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN
    AIR AND CAN CAUSE SUFFOCATION BY REDUCING OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR
    BREATHING. BREATHING VERY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR CAN CAUSE
    LIGHTHEADEDNESS, GIDDINESS, SHORTNESS OF  BREATH, AND MAY LEAD TO
    NARCOSIS, CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR EVEN DEATH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED ON PROGRAMS OF NTP;
    MONOGRAPHS OF IARC; AND OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: DIZZINESS, IMPAIRED COORDINATION,
    REDUCED MENTAL ACUITY, AND CARDIAC EFFECTS CAN OCCUR.
    UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR EVEN DEATH IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS WITH LONGER
    EXPOSURES. CHRONIC: NONE KNOWN WHEN OCCU PATIONAL EXPOSURES ARE
    BELOW THE TLV.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CARDIAC PROBLEMS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE HOLDING
    LIDS OPEN. IF REDNESS, ITCHING, OR BURNING SENSATION DEVELOPS, GET
    MEDICAL ATTENTION. TREAT FOR FROSTBITE IF NECESSARY. SKIN CONTACT:
    WASH MA TERIAL OFF SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. IF
    REDNESS, ITCHING, OR BURNING OCCURS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. TREAT
    FOR FROSTBITE IF NECESSARY.  INHALATION: MOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR.
    IF COUGH OR  OTHER RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS OCCUR, CONSULT MEDICAL
    PERSONNEL. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION,
    PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CONSULT MEDICAL PERSONNEL . (CONTD. SEE "TOXICOLOGICAL")

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NONE
Fire Fighting Procedures:THIS IS A FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENT. USE WATER
    TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CYLINDERS OR OTHER CONTAINERS. SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
    WHEN RE-ENTERING UNVENT ILATED FIRE AREAS WHERE PRODUCT HAS BEEN
    USED.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH PRESSURE AND
    TEMPERATURE RELIEF DEVICES, BUT RUPTURE MAY OCCUR UNDER FIRE
    CONDITIONS AND TOXIC DECOMPOSITION BY-PRODUCTS MAY BE FORMED IF
    USED IN FIRES OVER 900F.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA; VENTILATE TO OUTSIDE
    ATMOSPHERE. COOL OR REMOVE HOT, METAL SURFACES, OR SOURCES OF
    NON-EXTINGUISHED FLAMES.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AS A LIQUEFIED COMPRESSED GAS IN
    DOT APPROVED PRESSURE VESSELS AWAY FROM HIGH TEMPERATURES. IF
    CYLINDER IS NOT CONNECTED TO A SYSTEM, IT MUST BE SAFETY CAPPED TO
    PROTECT AGAINST ACTUATION OF VAL VE AND RELEASE OF AGENT.
Other Precautions:AVOID ACTIVE METALS AND FIRES INVOLVING METAL
    HYDRIDES.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NOT NORMALLY NECESSARY IF CONTROLS ARE ADEQUATE.
    FOR HIGH CONCENTRATIONS EXCEEDING 10%, OF IF EXPOSURE IS PROLONGED,
    USE POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST: RECOMMENDED TO CONTROL EXPOSURES. MECHANICAL
    (GENERAL): RECOMMENDED IN LOW AREAS OR INDOORS WHERE VAPORS MAY
    COLLECT.
Protective Gloves:PLASTIC IF WORKING WITH LIQUID.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES RECOMMENDED.
Other Protective Equipment:FULL FACESHIELD IN ADDITION IF SPLASHING OF
    LIQUID FORM IS POSSIBLE. EYE WASH AND SAFETY SHOWERS ARE GOOD
    SAFETY PRACTICE IN WORK AREAS WHEN WORKING WITH LIQUEFIED PRODUCT.
Work Hygienic Practices:NOTE: AS USED IN ANSUL EXTINGUISHERS OR
    CYLINDERS, HALON 1301 IS A GAS COMPRESSED UNDER PRESSURE UP TO 360
    PSI AT 70F.
Supplemental Safety and Health
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: PRODUCT IS AN ASPHXIANT & CAN INDUCE CARDIAC MUSCLE
    SENSITIZATION TO CIRCULATING EPINEPHRINE-LIKE COMPOUNDS. DO NOT
    GIVE ADRENALIN OR SIMILAR SYMPATHOMIMETIC DRUGS. DO NOT ALLOW VIC
    TIM TO EXERCISE UNTIL 24 HOURS FOLLOWING SPECIFIC EXPOSURES. FREEZE
    BURNS OF MUCOSAL TISSUE CAN DEVELOP FOLLOWING
