3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION:
Potential Health Effects
Primary Routes of Exposure/ Entry: Inhalation
Acute Toxicity Data: The LC50 is above 40% volume/ volume.

Other Toxicity Data: Product may cause weakness, headache, confusion, blurred
vision, drowsiness, nausea, and other nervous system effects. Greater
overexposure may cause dizziness, slurred speech, flushed face, irritation to the
eyes, skin and lungs, unconsciousness, or convulsions and may lead to
asphyxiation. High concentration, usually above 10%, may sensitize the heart and
lead to fatal cardiac arrhythmias. Contact with liquefied product may cause
frostbite.
Odorant:

The odorant, ethyl mercaptan, can be irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory
tract. At high concentrations, a person can temporarily lose the ability to smell
ethyl mercaptan; In addition, some individuals may have an impaired sense of
smell, which inhibits the detection of the odorant. Propane and odorant are
heavier than air and will collect and pool along the ground or floor. Odorant,
therefore, may not be detectable above the location of propane storage or service
(for example, odorant in propane released or leaked into the basement of a
dwelling may not be detected above the basement).

WARNING
The intensity of the odorant may fade over prolonged storage or in the presence of
rust, when placed initially in new or freshly cleaned storage vessels, or when
exposed to masonry.

DEALERS
Familiarize yourself and your customers with this warning and other facts
associated with odor fade.

CARCINOGENICITY INFORMATION
None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or
greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP or ACGTH as carcinogens.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.

Skin Contact:
Flush area with lukewarm water. Do not use hot water. If frostbite has occurred,
call a physician.

Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Check for
frostbite. Call a physician.

Ingestion:
Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS
Because of a possible increased risk of eliciting cardiac dysrhythmias,
catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine, should be used with caution in
situations of emergency life support.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES.

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
Flash Point: Gas
Flammable Limits
In Air, by volume: LEL 2.1; UEL 9.5
Autoignition: 851 F (455 C)

Vapor forms explosive mixture with air, Vapor or gases may travel considerable
distances to ignition source and flash back,

Compressed Gas, Flammable.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
If gas has ignited, do not extinguish. Stop gas flow. Allow to burn out.

FIRE-FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Stop flow of gas. Use water, keep fire-exposed, containers cool. If a leak or spill
has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to protect personnel
attempting to stop a leak.

Highly Flammable. Do not enter a vapor cloud due to potential for flash fire.
Products of combustion may contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other
toxic materials. Do not enter enclosed or confined space without proper protective
equipment including respiratory protection.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SAFEGUARDS (PERSONNEL)
Note: Review FIRE_FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean up. Use appropriate PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean up.

Evacuate personnel. Thoroughly ventilate area. Use self-contained breathing
apparatus. Keep upwind of leak. Evacuate until gas has dispersed. Remove
sources of heat, sparks, flame, impact, friction and electricity including internal
combustion engines and power tools. If equipment is to be used for spill clean up,
it must be explosion proof and suitable for flammable liquid and vapors.

NOTE: Vapors released from the spill may create an explosive atmosphere.
See HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION, Odorant.




7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
Avoid breathing gas. Avoid contact with eyes, Skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly
after handling. Wash clothing after use.

HANDLING (PHYSICAL ASPECTS)
Use of non-sparking and explosion-proof equipment may be necessary depending
on type of operation. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.

STORAGE
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Store in
accordance with National Fire Protection Association regulations. Store away
from ignition sources, oxidizers.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Ventilation:
Storage and use areas should be well ventilated. Explosion-proof mechanical
ventilation should be used in enclosed areas. See HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION,
Odorant.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory Protection:
Personnel should never enter areas of high concentrations without proper
respiratory protection. Provide NIOSH-approved, air-supplied respirator or self-
contained breathing equipment for emergency or non-routine situations where the
level of excessive.

Protective Gloves:
Should be worn to prevent frostbite, which can be caused by rapid evaporation
when handling as a liquid.

Eye Protection:
Face shield and chemical goggles when changing valves, hoses, etc., in
compressed gas or liquid hydrocarbon service. Full-face piece if respiratory
protection is required.

Other Protective Equipment:
If there is a possibility of skin contact with the liquid, thermally protective,
impervious clothing should be worn to protect from frostbite.
