------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Negligible fire hazard.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical
Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.
FIRE FIGHTING: Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk.
Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away
from the ends of tanks. For tank, rail car or tank truck, evacuation radius:
800 meters (1/2 mile). Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding
fire. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out.
Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Do not get
water directly on material. Reduce vapors with water spray. Avoid inhalation
of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low
areas. Consider downwind evacuation if material is leaking.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCCUPATIONAL RELEASE:
Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk.
Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Ventilate
closed spaces before entering.

HEALTH EFFECTS:
INHALATION:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
CARBON DIOXIDE: In the solid or liquid form carbon dioxide is very
volatile, readily releasing the gas. At concentrations from 2-10% it may
cause acidic taste, dyspnea, headache, vertigo, nausea, labored breathing,
weakness, drowsiness, mental confusion, and increase in blood pressure,
pulse, and respiratory rate. Exposure to 10% for a few minutes has been
reported to cause visual disturbances, tinnitus, tremors, profuse
perspiration, restlessness, paresthesias, general feeling of discomfort,
loss of consciousness, and coma. Concentrations of 25-30% may cause coma
and convulsions within one minute. Tachycardia and arrhythmias are
possible. Concentrations of 50% may cause symptoms of hypocalcemia
including carpopedal spasms. Excessive carbon dioxide for a time period of
not more than 5 minutes was reported to cause effects on vision with
constriction of visual fields, enlargement of blind spots, photophobia,
loss of convergence and accommodation, and deficient dark adaptation as
well as headache, insomnia, and personality changes, largely depression
and irritability. Even when there is sufficient oxygen present to prevent
simple asphyxiation by carbon dioxide, high concentrations may cause
adverse effects by interfering with its normal elimination from the body.
Initially, exposure to increased carbon dioxide concentrations results in
a compensatory increase in both rate and depth of ventilation. Beyond a
certain point, however, this may reverse to hypoventilation resulting in
respiratory acidosis. Death from asphyxia may occur if the concentration
and duration of exposure are sufficient. Reproductive effects have been
reported in animals.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
CARBON DIOXIDE: It has been reported that persons may tolerate 1.5% in
inhaled air for prolonged periods without adverse effects, but calcium/
MGI04260 Page 006 of 008
phosphorus metabolism may be affected with serum levels of calcium and
urinary phosphorus progressively falling. At 2% concentration, deepened
respiration may occur. At 3% impairment of performance has been noted. It
has, however, been demonstrated that the development of tolerance may
occur during prolonged exposure to low levels. Reproductive effects have
been reported in animals.
SKIN CONTACT:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:

Material Safety Data Sheet #4260 wysiwyg://content.511/http://www.mgindustries.com/msds/SubLookup.asp?SubName=4260&SUBMIT1=Go%21
CARBON DIOXIDE: No adverse effects have been reported from exposure to the
gas. Due to rapid evaporation, the liquid or solid may cause frostbite
with redness, tingling and pain or numbness. In more severe cases, the
skin may become hard and white and develop blisters.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
CARBON DIOXIDE: No adverse effects are expected from exposure at low
levels.
EYE CONTACT:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
CARBON DIOXIDE: At high concentrations in air, carbon dioxide may cause a
stinging sensation of the eyes. 200,000 ppm of the gas may cause
irritation. Due to rapid evaporation, the liquid or solid may cause
frostbite with redness, pain, and blurred vision.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
CARBON DIOXIDE: No adverse effects are expected from exposure to low
levels.
INGESTION:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
CARBON DIOXIDE: Ingestion of a gas is unlikely. If the liquid or solid is
swallowed, frostbite damage to the lips, mouth and mucous membranes may
occur.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
CARBON DIOXIDE: No data available.
