Hazards
LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHAL: BOTH ARGON & METHANE ARE SIMPLE
ASPHYXIANTS. OXYGEN LEVELS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AT GREATER THAN
19.5% AT NORMAL ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO A
PARTIAL PRESSURE OF 135 MMHG. HIGH CONCS OF P-5 GAS MIX SO AS TO
EXCLUDE AN ADEQ SUPPLY OF OXYGEN TO THE LUNGS CAUSES DIZZ, DEEPER
BRTHG (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:DUE TO AIR HUNGER, POSSIBLE NAUS &
EVENTUAL UNCON. P-5 GAS MIXTURE IS RELATIVELY INACTIVE BIOLOGICALLY
& ESSENTIALLY NONTOXIC; THERFORE, THE MAJOR HAZARD IS THE EXCLUSION
OF AN ADEQ SUPPLY OF OXYGEN OF THE LUNGS. SKIN/EYE: CONTACTWITH
LIQUID PROD MAY CAUSE TISSUE FREEZING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
First Aid
First Aid:INHAL:PROMPT MED ATTN IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXP.
RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED W/SCBA. VICTIMS SHOULD BE
ASSISTED TO AN UNCONTAM AREA & INHALE FRESH AIR. QUICK REMOVAL FROM
THE CONTAM AREA IS MOST IMPORTANT. UNCONS PERSONSSHOULD BE MOVED
TO AN UNCONTAM AREA, & IF BRTHG HAS STOPPED, ADMIN ARTF RESP &
SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN. FURTHER TREATMENT SHOULD BE SYMPTOMATIC &
