Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: ASPHYXIANT, 'CNS' & PULMONARY
EFFECTS. SKIN IRRITANT CHRONIC: NONE KNOWN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHAL: DIZZINESS, DISORIENTATION, IMPAIRED
COORDINATION, NARCOSIS, NAUSEA, OR VOMITING, LIGHT-HEADEDNESS,
GIDDINESS, BREATH SHORTNESS. CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA W/ UNCONSCIOUSNESS

Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CARDIAC PROBLEMS. (PRODUCT. IS AN
ASPHYIANT & CAN INDUCE CARDIAC MUSCLE SENSIZATION TO CIRCULATING
EPINEPHRINE-LIKE COMPOUNDS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR-GET MED. ATTN. & GIVE O*2/CPR AS
REQUIRED FOR SITUATION & HAND; DO NOT GIVE EPINEPHRINE OR SIMILIAR
DRUGS AS CATECOLAMINES INCREASE RISK OF ELICITING CARDIAC
DYSRYTHMIAS. EY ES/SKIN: FLUSH W/ WATER - TREAT FOR FROSTBITE
W/MEDICAL ATTN. ; INGEST: NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:MATERIAL IS A FIRE EXTINGUISHANT & IS
NON-FLAMMABLE. USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE 'SCBA' WHEN FIGHTING FIRE WHERE CHEMICALS
ARE INVOLVED. 'SCBA' MAY BE NEEDED IF HALON-1211 CONTAINER RUPTURES
OR RELEASES MATERIAL IN HEAT OF FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IN HEAT OF FIRE, HALON-1211 CONTAINER
EXPOSED TO INTENSE HEAT OF FIRE MAY RUPTURE & MATERIAL
DECOMPOSITION MAY OCCUR
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE OF UNNEEDED PERSONNEL, VENTILATE AREA
ESPECIALLY LOW PLACES WHERE HEAVY VAPORS MIGHT COLLECT. COOL OR
REMOVE HOT METAL SURFACES OR SOURCES OF NON-EXTINGUISHER FLAMES.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE & HANDLEAS A LIQUIFIED
COMPRESSED GAS IN 'DOT' APPROVED PRESSURE VESSELS AWAY FROM
HI-TEMPERATURES.
Other Precautions:AVOID UNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO HALON 1211! ABOVE 4%(17
LBS/1000 CU FT AIR & >1 MIN:DIZINESS,IMPAIRED COORDINATION &
REDUCED MENTAL ALERTNESS); ABOVE 5% CONC(22 LBS/1000 CU FT OF
AIR),USE AIR-SUPPLIED RE SPIRATORS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NOT NORMALLY NECESSARY IF PROPER ENGINEERING
CONTROLS ARE IN PLACE. IF PEL/TLV ARE EXCEEDED USE POSITIVE
PRESSURE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. REVIEW 29CFR1910. 134
INSTRUCTIONS/WARNINGS AS WELL AS NIOSH- RESPIRATOR,DECISION LOGIC
PUB87.108.
Ventilation:PROVIDE SUFFICIENT GENERAL/LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IN
PATTERN/VOLUME TO CONTROL INHALATION EXPOSURES BELOW PEL.TLV.
Protective Gloves:LINED BUTYL OR AS REQUIRED FOR TASK.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH TYPE OR AS REQ. FOR TASK
Other Protective Equipment:AS REQUIRED TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE & MAXIMIZE
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE-PROCEDURES SET FORTH BY SAFETY/ IH
PERSONNEL FOR USE OF THIS MATERIAL FOR TASKS AT HAND.
Supplemental Safety and Health
SMALL CONC( 5%) OF HALON EXTINGUISH FLAMES BY CHEMICALLY INTERRUPTING
COMBUSTION-NOT BY REPLACING 0*2. HOWEVER, VAPORIZATION OF
EXCESSIVE AMTS. CAN DEPLETE OR REPLACE O*2 NEEDED FOR BREATHING;
GENERI C 'MSDS' ON NSN IDENTIFIED BY "DCSC". UPON RECEIPT OF A
MFR'S MSDS UNDER THIS NSN, THE GENERIC WILL BE REMV.
