=====================  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:ACUTE: SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT WHICH CAN
    LEAD TO DEATH IF APPROPRIATE OXYGEN LEVEL IS NOT PROVIDED.
Effects of Overexposure:INHAL: NON-TOXIC GAS. ACTS AS A SIMPLE
    ASPHYXIANT DISPLACING OXYGEN. WHICH LEADS TO INCREASED PULSE RATE,
    NAUSEA, & COLLAPSE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY ALIMENTS.

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

First Aid:IN OXYGEN DEFICIENT AREAS, RESCUERS SHOULD USE "SCBA"
    EQUIPMENT. REMOVE PARTY TO FRESH AIR. QUICKLY RESTORE AND/OR
    SUPPORT BREATHING AS REQUIRED, ADMINISTERING OXYGEN IF AVAILABLE.
    GET MEDICAL ATTENTI ON.

    RUPTURE IN HEAT OF FIRE.

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

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA UNTIL VENTILATION CAN RESTORE
    SAFE OXYGEN LEVEL. EMERGENCY PERSONNEL,USE "SCBA" IN OXYGEN
    DEFICIENT ENVIRONS. MINOR LEAKS(DANGEROUS IN ENCLOSED AREAS) CAN BE
    DETECTED BY PAINTING SUSPECT ED LEAKAGE WITH SOAP SOLUTION.
