Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: CARBON MONOXIDE IS HIGHLY TOXIC
    BY THE REDUCTION OF THE BLOOD'S OXYGEN CARRYING CAPACITY RESULTING
    IN OXYGEN STARVATION OF BODY CELLS. MIXTURE CAN ACT AS A SIMPLE
    ASPHYXIANT BY DISPLACING AIR N ECESSARY FOR LIFE. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
    RAPID RESPIRATION, MUSCULAR INCOORDINATION, FATIGUE, DIZZINESS,
    NAUSEA, VOMITING, UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH. CHRONIC:
    CARDIOVASCULAR PROBLEMS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:SYMPTOMS INCLUDE RAPID RESPIRATION, MUSCULAR
    INCOORDINATION, FATIGUE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
    UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE KNOWN

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

First Aid:INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF
    BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. EYE: NONE. SKIN: NONE. INGESTION: NONE. IN
    EVENT OF E XPOSURE, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.

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

Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Lower Limits:NONFLAMMABLE

Extinguishing Media:USE WHAT IS APPPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND
    FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CYLINDERS COOL WITH
    WATER SPRAY. IF POSSIBLE, STOP THE PRODUCT FLOW.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CYLINDER RUPTURE MAY OCCUR UNDER FIRE
    CONDITIONS.

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

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AND VENTILATE AREA. REMOVE LEAKING
    CYLINDER TO EXHAUST HOOD OR SAFE OUTDOOR AREA. SHUT OFF SOURCE IF

    WELL VENTILATED AREAS. KEE P VALVE PROTECTION CAP ON CYLINDERS WHEN
    NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:PROTECT CONTAINERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. DO NOT
    DEFACE CYLINDERS OR LABELS. CYLINDERS SHOULD BE REFILLED BY
    QUALIFIED PRODUCERS OF COMPRESSED GAS. SHIPMENT OF A COMPRESSED GAS
    CYLINDER WHICH HAS NOT B EEN FILLED BY THE OWNER OR WITH HIS
    WRITTEN CONSENT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW (49 CFR)

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

Respiratory Protection:USE A SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN CASE
    OF EMERGENCY OR NON-ROUTINE USE.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQUATE GENERAL AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO
    MAINTAIN CONCENTRATIONS BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS AND TO AVOID
    ASPHYXIATION
Protective Gloves:NONE
