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

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CARBON DIOXIDE IS THE MOST POWERFUL
    CEREBRAL VASODILATOR KNOWN.INHALING LARGE CONCENTRATIONS CAUSES
    RAPID CIRCULATION INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO COMA & DEATH.CHRONIC
    HARMFUL EFFECTS ARE NOT KNOWN FROM R EPEATED INHALATION OF LOW 3-5
    MOLAR % CONCENTRATIONS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION:3-5 MOLAR % INCREASED RESPIRATION &
    HEADACHE.8-15 MOLAR % HEADACHE,NAUSEA & VOMITING WHICH MAY LEAD TO
    UNCONSCIOUSNESS.HIGH CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE RAPID CIR INSUFFICIENCY
    LEADING TO COMA & DE ATH.FROSTBITE EFFECTS ARE A CHANGE IN THE
    COLOR OF THE SKIN TO GRAY OR WHITE POSSIBLY FOLLOWED BY BLISTERING.

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

First Aid:PROMT MEDICAL ATTN IS MANDATORY.RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE
