===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:NOT RELEVANT
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE- BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
(GREATER THAN 75 MOLAR %) CAUSES SYMPTOMS OF HYPEROXIA WHICH
INCLUDE CRAMPS, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, HYPOTHERMIA, RESPIRATORY
DIFFICULTIES, FAINTING SPELLS & CONVULSION S CAPABLE OF LEADING TO
DEATH. CONCENTRATIONS BETWEEN 25 & 75 % MAY CAUSE INFLAMMATION.
CHRONIC- NOT KNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:OXYGEN IS NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY
THE IARC, NTP OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS (GREATER THAN 75
MOLAR %) CAUSES SYMPTOMS OF HYPEROXIA WHICH INCLUDE CRAMPS, NAUSEA,
DIZZINESS, HYPOTHERMIA, RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTIES, FAINTING SPELLS &
CONVULSIONS CAPAB LE OF LEADING TO DEATH. CONCENTRATIONS BETWEEN 25
& 75 % MAY CAUSE INFLAMMATION.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF
OVEREXPOSURE TO OXYGEN. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE AWARE OF EXTREME
FIRE HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH OXYGEN-RICH ATMOSPHERES. CONSCIOUS
PERSONS SHOULD BE MOVED TO FRESH AIR. THEY SHOULD BE KEPT WARM &
QUIET. UNCONSCIOUS PERSONS SHOULD BE MOVED TO FRESH AIR & GIVEN
ASSISTED RESPIRATION. TREATMENT SHOULD BE SYMPTOMATIC & SUPPORTIVE.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, CO2, FOAM/DRY CHEMICAL. WATER SPRAY
MAY BE USED TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS. MOVE CONTAINERS AWAY IF POSSIBLE. STOP FLOW OF OXYGEN
WHICH IS SUPPORTING THE FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ACCELERATES COMBUSTION. CONTACT WITH
EASILY OXIDIZABLE ORGANIC/COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MAY RESULT IN
IGNITION, VIOLENT COMBUSTION OR EXPLOSION.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA. USE
APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. STOP LEAK IF YOU CAN DO IT
WITHOUT RISK. ISOLATE AREA UNTIL GAS HAS DISPERSED. KEEP
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM SPILLED MATERIAL. STAY UPWIND.
VENTILATE CLOSED SPACES.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORAGE- STORE IN COOL, DRY WELL
VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREAS & AWAY FROM
FULL/EMPTY CYLINDERS CONTAINING FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS.
Other Precautions:STORE CYLINDERS IN UPRIGHT POSITION & FIRMLY SECURED.
AVOID TEMPERATURES ABOVE 130F (54C). SEGREGATE FULL & EMPTY
CYLINDERS. USE A "FIRST IN-FIRST OUT" INVENTORY SYSTEM. USE ONLY IN
WELL VENTILATED AR EA. DO NOT DRAG, SLIDE OR ROLL CYLINDER.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NOT RELEVANT
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION ABOVE 25 MOLAR
PERCENT.
Protective Gloves:AS REQUIRED; ANY MATERIAL
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES OR GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOES
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING CYLINDERS.
