    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/LONG EXPOSURE;
    SKIN/EYES: CONTACT W/LIQUID C AN CAUSE FROSTBITE, OR SKIN
    IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CARDIAC PROBLEMS. (PRODUCT IS AN
    ASPHYXIANT & CAN INDUCE CARDIAC MUSCLE SENSITIZATION 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 SILILIAR
    DRUGS AS CATECOLAMINES INCREASE RISK OF ELICITING CARDIAC
    DYSRYTHMIAS. EY ES/SKIN:FLUSH W/WATER - TREAT FORFROSTBITE
    W/MEDICAL ATTN. ; INGEST: NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR.

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

Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:MATEIAL IS A FIRE EXTINGUISHER & IS NON-FLAMMABLE.
    USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE 'SCBA' WHEN FIGHTING FIRES WHERE CHEMICAL
    ARE INVOLVED. SCBA MAY BE NEEDED  IF HALON-1301 CONTAINER RUPTURES
    OR RELEASE MATERIAL IN HEAT OF FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IN HEAT OF FIRE, HALON-1301 CONTAINER
    EXPOSED TO INTENSE HEAT OF FIRE MAY RUPTURE & MATERIAL COMPOSITION
    MAY  OCCUR.

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

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA 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 & HANDLE AS A LIQUIFIED
    COMPRESSED GAS IN 'DOT' APPROVED PRESSURE VESSELS AWAY FROM HI
    TRMPERATURES.
Other Precautions:AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO HALON 1301 ! IN
    EMERGENCY EX=OSURE SHOULD BE LIMITED TO: 0-7%, 15 MIN; 7-15%, 1
    MIN; 10-15%, 30SEC; & FOR >15% PREVENT EXPOSURE.SMALL CONC( 5%) OF
    HALON EXTINGUISHES FLAM ES BY CHEMICALLY INTERR. COMBUST.

=============  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/WARN9NG AS WELL AS NIOSH- RESPIRATOR,DECISON LOGIC
    PUB87.108.
Ventilation:PROVIDE SUFFICIENT GENERAL/LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IN
    PATTERN/VOLUME TO CONTROL INHALATION EXPOSURE 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 & MINIMIZE
    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 FLAME BY CHEMICALLY INTERRUPTING
    COMBUSTION-NOT BY REPLACING O*2. HOWEVER, VAPORIZATION OF EXCESSIVE
    AMTS. CAN DEPLETE OR REPLACE O*2 NEEDED FOR BREATHING; GENERIC 
    'MSDS' ON NSN IDENTIFIED BY "DCSC". UPON RECIEPT OF A MFR'S MDDS
    UNDER THIS NSN, THE GENERIC WILL BE REMV.
