HEALTH HAZARD DATA
TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGE EXPOSURE LIMIT
( For CO2) 5,000 Molar PPM; STEL = 30,000 Molar PPM (ACGIH 1998). 0SHA 1995 PEL (8 hr. TWA) =
5,000 Molar PPM.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Inhalation: Low concentrations (3-5) molar %) cause increased respiration and headache.
Eight to 15 molar % concentrations cause headache, nausea and vomiting which may lead to unconsciousness if not
moved to open air or given oxygen.
High concentrations cause rapid circulatory insufficiency leading to coma and death.
TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Carbon dioxide is the most powerful cerebral vasodilator known. Inhaling large concentrations causes rapid circulatory
insufficiency leading to coma and death. Chronic, harmful effects are not known from repeated inhalation of low (3-5
molar %) concentrations.
This mixture is not listed in the IARC, NTP or by 0SHA as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen.
Persons in ill health where such illness would be aggravated by exposure to this mixture should not be allowed to work
with or handle this product.
RECOMMENDED FIRST AID TREATMENT
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE T0 THIS MIXTURE.
RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Inhalation: Conscious persons should be assisted to an uncontaminated area and inhale fresh air. Quick removal from
the contaminated area is most important. Unconscious persons should be moved to an uncontaminated area, given
assisted respiration and supplemental oxygen. Assure that vomited material does not obstruct the airway by use of
positional drainage. Further treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.

Evacuate all personnel from affected area. Use appropriate protective equipment. If leak is in user鈥檚 equipment, be
certain to purge piping with an inert gas prior to attempting repairs. If leak is in container or container valve, contact
your closest supplier location or call the emergency telephone number listed herein.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Do not attempt to dispose of waste or unused quantities. Return in the shipping container properly labeled, with any
valve outlet plugs or caps secured and valve protection cap in place to your supplier. For emergency disposal

DOT Shipping Label: Nonflammable Gas I.D. No. UN 3163
SPECIAL HANDLING RECOMMENDATIONS
Use only in well-ventilated areas. Valve protection caps must remain in place unless container is secured with valve
outlet piped to use point. Do not drag, slide, or roll cylinders. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Use a
pressure reducing regulator when connecting cylinder to lower pressure (<1500 psig) piping or systems. Do not heat
cylinder by any means to increase the discharge rate of product from the cylinder. Use a check valve or trap in the
discharge line to prevent hazardous back flow into the cylinder.
For additional handling recommendations, consult Compressed Gas Associations鈥? Pamphlets P-1, G-6, G-6.1, and
G-6.2.
SPECIAL STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Protect cylinders from physical damage. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heavily trafficked areas and
emergency exits. Do not allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to exceed 125潞F (52潞C). Cylinders should be
stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Full and empty cylinders should be
segregated. Use a 鈥渇irst in - first out鈥? inventory system to prevent full cylinders being stored for excessive periods of
time.
For additional storage recommendations, consult Compressed Gas Association鈥檚 Pamphlets P-1, G-6, G-6.1, and
G-6.2.
SPECIAL PACKAGING RECOMMENDATIONS
Dry carbon dioxide can be handled with most common structural materials. Moist carbon dioxide is corrosive by its
formation of carbonic acid. For these applications, 316, 309 and 310 stainless steels may be used as well as
Hastelloy庐 A, B and C and Monel庐. Ferrous nickel alloys are slightly corroded.
At normal temperatures carbon dioxide is compatible with most plastics and elastomers.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS OR PRECAUTIONS
Compressed gas cylinders should not be refilled except by qualified producers of compressed gases. Shipment of a
compressed gas cylinder which has not been filled by the owner or with his (written) consent is a violation of Federal
Law (49CFR).
