2. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Oxygen is a colorless, odorless gas. The main health hazard associated with
releases of this gas is its powerful oxidizing power. In high oxygen content atmospheres, common combustible
materials can become highly flammable. Emergency responders must practice extreme caution when
approaching oxygen releases because of the extreme fire potential.
SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most significant route of over-exposure for
this product is by inhalation.
INHALATION: High concentrations (80% or more) of this gas can cause an oxygen-rich environment. Individuals
breathing such an atmosphere for durations of 17-24 hours may experience symptoms which include nasal
stuffiness, nausea, dizziness, bronchial irritation (cough), sore throat, hypothermia, increased depth of respiration,
bradycardia, pulmonary discomfort (including chest pain), peripheral vasoconstriction, amblyopia (loss of vision).
Inhalation of pure oxygen at atmospheric pressure or less can cause pulmonary irritation and edema after 24 hours.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms. Over-exposure to Oxygen
may cause the following health effects:
ACUTE: Individuals breathing oxygen-enriched atmospheres may experience nasal stuffiness, nausea, dizziness,
coughing, sore throat, hypothermia, disturbed breathing, chest pain, and loss of vision.
CHRONIC: There are currently no known adverse health effects associated with chronic exposure to this gas.

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Remove victim(s) to fresh air, as quickly as possible, or if in elevated pressures, reduce oxygen pressure to 1
atmosphere. Physician should be advised of victim鈥檚 exposure to a high oxygen concentration. Trained personnel
should administer medical aid such as cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, if necessary. Supplemental oxygen is not
normally appropriate. Victims tend to recover rapidly, when removed from the hypoxic exposure.
Take copy of label and MSDS to physician or other health professional with victim(s). Medical care providers should
refer to Section 11 (Toxicology Information) of this MSDS for additional information.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

FLAMMABLE LIMITS (in air by volume, %):
Lower (LEL): Not applicable.
Upper (UEL): Not applicable.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS: Non-flammable gas. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding
fire.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Oxygen does not burn; however, cylinders, when involved in fire,
may rupture or burst in the heat of the fire. Oxygen will support and accelerate combustion. Common combustible
materials will burn more readily in elevated oxygen environments, and some materials which are non-combustible in
air will burn in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere. Direct water onto cylinders to keep cool. Shut-off the flow of
oxygen or move cylinders from fire area if it can be done safely. Rescue personnel should be aware of the extreme
fire hazards associated with oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
Water Spray: YES Carbon Dioxide: YES Foam: YES
Halon: YES Dry Chemical: YES Other: Any "ABC鈥? Class.
Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not Sensitive.
Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not Sensitive.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Structural fire-fighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus
and full protective equipment. Other information for pre-planning can be found in the North American Emergency
Response Guidebook.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LEAK RESPONSE: Evacuate immediate area. Uncontrolled releases should be responded to by trained personnel
using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective equipment should be used. In case of a leak, clear the affected
area, protect people, eliminate sources of ignition, and respond with trained personnel. Adequate fire protection
must be provided.
Minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be Level B: fire protective clothing, mechanically-resistant, fire
protective gloves and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. In general, DO NOT ENTER AN AREA IF THE
OXYGEN CONTENT EXCEEDS 23.5%. USE VENTILATION TO REDUCE THE OXYGEN LEVELS. Attempt to
close the main source valve prior to entering the area. If this does not stop the release (or if it is not possible to
reach the valve), allow the gas to release in-place or remove it to a safe area and allow the gas to be released there.
Remove sources of heat, ignition, and, if possible, separate combustibles from the leak. Monitor the surrounding
area for oxygen levels.
If leaking incidentally from the cylinder or its valve, contact your supplier.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: Cylinders should be stored upright and be firmly secured to prevent
falling or being knocked-over. Cylinders can be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be protected against
extremes of weather and from the dampness of the ground to prevent rusting. Cylinders should be stored in dry,
well-ventilated areas away from sources of heat, ignition and direct sunlight. Keep storage area clear of materials
which can burn. Do not allow area where cylinders are stored to exceed 52掳C (125掳F). Store containers away from
heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits. Store away from process and production areas, away from elevators,
building and room exits or main aisles leading to exits. Cylinders should be separated from flammable materials by a
minimum distance of 20 ft or by a barrier of non-combustible material at least 5 ft high, having a fire resistance rating
of at least 陆 hour. Protect cylinders against physical damage. Isolate from other non compatible chemicals (refer to
Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Post 鈥淣o Smoking or Open Flames鈥? signs in storage or use areas.
Consider installation of leak detection and alarm for storage and use areas. Have appropriate extinguishing
equipment in the storage area ( i.e. sprinkler system, portable fire extinguishers).
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF OXYGEN: All gauges, valves, regulators, piping and equipment to be
used in oxygen service must be cleaned for oxygen service in accordance with CGA pamphlet G-4.1 Use piping
and equipment adequately designed to withstand pressures to be encountered. Oxygen is not to be used as a
substitute for compressed air. Never use an oxygen jet for cleaning purposes of any sort, especially clothing, as it
increases the likelihood of an engulfing fire. Use a check valve or other protective apparatus in any line or piping
from the cylinder to prevent reverse flow. Never tamper with pressure relief valves and cylinders.
Personnel who have been exposed to high concentrations of oxygen should stay in a well-ventilated or open area
for 30 minutes before going into a confined space or near an ignition source. Use non-sparking ventilation
systems, approved explosion-proof equipment, and appropriate electrical systems. Electrical equipment used in gas-
handling operations, or located in storage areas, should be non-sparking or explosion-proof
Keep the smallest amount necessary on-site at any one time. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use
a first-in, first-out inventory systems to prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING GAS CYLINDERS: Compressed gases can present significant safety
hazards. The following rules are applicable to work situations in which cylinders are being used.
Before Use: Move cylinders with a suitable hand-truck. Do not drag, slide or roll cylinders. Do not drop cylinders or
permit them to strike each other. Secure cylinders firmly. Leave the valve protection cap (where provided) in-place
until cylinder is ready for use.
During Use: Use designated CGA fittings and other support equipment. Do not use adapters. Do not heat cylinder
by any means to increase the discharge rate of the product from the cylinder. Do not use oils or grease on gas-
handling fittings or equipment. Leak-check system with leak detection solution, never with flame. Immediately
contact the supplier if there are any difficulties associated with operating cylinder valve. Never insert an object (e.g
wrench, screwdriver, pry bar, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve, causing a leak to occur.
Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Never strike an arc, on a compressed gas
cylinder or make a cylinder part of and electric circuit.
After Use: Close main cylinder valve. Valves should be closed tightly. Replace valve protection cap. Mark empty
cylinders 鈥淓MPTY鈥?.
NOTE: Use only DOT or ASME code containers. Close valve after each use and when empty. Cylinders must not
be recharged except by or with the consent of owner. For additional information, refer to American National
Standards (ANSI) Z49.1 Safety in Welding and Cutting published by the American Welding Society, PO Box 351040,
Miami, FL 33135; National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 51. See Section 16, (Other Information) for
additional pamphlets developed by the Compressed Gas Association (CGA).

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICITY DATA: Oxygen is the vital element in the atmosphere in which we live and breathe. The atmosphere
contains approximately 21% oxygen. Breathing higher concentrations could lead to oxygen toxicity and pneumonia.
Breathing lower oxygen concentrations could lead to hypoxia. The following toxicity data are for oxygen:
Human toxicological data and teratogenic data are available for Oxygen; however, the effects have occurred after prolonged exposure to Oxygen
(inhalation effects of TCLo after 14 hours) and with exposure of very high concentration of Oxygen at greater than normal atmosphere.
Premature infants exposed to high oxygen concentrations may suffer delayed retinal damage which can progress to retinal detachment and
blindness. Retinal damage may also occur in adults exposed to 100% oxygen for extended periods of time (24 to 48 hours).
At two or more atmospheres, central nervous system (CNS) toxicity occurs. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, dizziness or vertigo, muscle
twitching, vision changes, and loss of consciousness and generalized seizures. At three atmospheres, CNS toxicity occurs in less than two hours,
and at six atmospheres in only a few minutes.
SUSPECTED CANCER AGENT: Oxygen is not found on the following lists: FEDERAL OSHA Z LIST, NTP,
CAL/OSHA, IARC; therefore it is not considered to be, nor suspected to be a cancer-causing agent by these
agencies.
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT: None.
SENSITIZATION OF PRODUCT: Oxygen is not a sensitizer.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION: Listed below is information concerning the effects of Oxygen on the
human reproductive system.
Mutagenicity: Mutation data have been reported for oxygen; these data have been obtained in studies exposing
specific animal tissues to relatively high concentrations (80%) of oxygen.
Embryotoxcity: Oxygen is not expected to cause embryotoxic effects in humans. For further information see
following paragraph.
Teratogenicity Human teratogenic effects have been reported after inhalation of 12 pph oxygen for 10 minutes
during 26-29 weeks of pregnancy; these effects include developmental abnormalities of the fetal cardiovascular
system; Exposure of pregnant hamsters to 3-4 atmospheres of 100% oxygen for periods of 2-3 hours produced
teratogenic effects in a small, but significant number of fetuses. One quarter of the mother hamsters developed
central nervous system symptoms.
Reproductive Toxicity: Oxygen is not expected to cause adverse reproductive effects in humans.
A mutagen is a chemical which causes permanent changes to genetic material (DNA) such that the changes will
propagate through generation lines. An embryotoxin is a chemical which causes damage to a developing embryo
(i.e. within the first eight weeks of pregnancy in humans), but the damage does not propagate across generational
lines. A teratogen is a chemical which causes damage to a developing fetus, but the damage does not propagate
across generational lines. A reproductive toxin is any substance which interferes in any way with the reproductive
process.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Pre-existing respiratory conditions may be aggravated
by over-exposure to this product. Persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can retain carbon dioxide
abnormally. If oxygen is administered to such persons, raising the oxygen concentration in the blood depresses the
breathing rate and raises the retained carbon dioxide levels in the blood to a dangerous level in these persons.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS: Treat symptoms and reduce over-exposure. Symptoms of over-
exposure usually are relieved quickly. Immediate sedation and anticonvulsive therapy should be provided, as
needed.
BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEIs): Currently, Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) are not applicable for
this compound.
ADDITIONAL NOTES TO PHYSICIANS: Animal studies suggest that the administration of certain drugs, including
phenothiazine drugs and chloroquine, increase the susceptibility to toxicity from oxygen at high pressures. Animal
studies also indicate that vitamin 鈥淓鈥? deficiency may increase susceptibility to toxicity to oxygen toxicity.
Airway obstruction during high oxygen tension may cause alveolar collapse following absorption of the oxygen.
Similarly, occlusion of the Eustachian tubes may cause retraction of the eardrum and obstruction of the paranasal
sinuses may produce 鈥渧acuum-type鈥? headache. All individuals exposed for long periods to oxygen at high
pressure and who exhibit overt oxygen toxicity should have ophthalmologic examinations.
