Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INGESTION: COUGH, CHEST PAINS,
IMPAIRED COORDINATION, CONFUSION, ABNORMAL SENSATIONS, SEIZURES
RESEMBLING THOSE OF EPILEPSY. INFANTS EXPOSED TO OXYGEN LEVELS IN
EXCESS OF 35-40% MAY SUFFER PERMANENT V ISUAL IMPAIRMENT OR
BLINDNESS DUE TO RETROLENTAL FIBROPLASIA.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:LIQUID OXYGEN OR COLD GAS WILL FREEZE TISSUES &
CAN CAUSE SEVERE CRYOGENIC BURNS.

First Aid:FROZEN TISSUES SHOULD BE FLOODED OR SOAKED IN TEPID WATER
(105-115F; 41-46C). DON'T USE HOT WATER. BURNS WHICH RESULT IN
BLISTERING OR DEEPER TISSUE FREEZING SHOULD BE SEEN PROMPTLY BY A
PHYSICIAN.

Fire Fighting Procedures:OXYGEN VIGOROUSLY SUPPORTS COMBUSTION OF
FLAMMABLES. FIGHT FIRES, SHUT OFF SOURCES OF OXYGEN/FIGHT LIKE
CONVENTIONAL FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SOME MATERIALS WHICH ARE NONCOMBUSTIBLE
IN AIR WILL BURN IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN.

Spill Release Procedures:PREVENT LIQUID FROM CONTACTING GREASE, OIL,
ASPHALT OR COMBUSTIBLES. VENTILATE AREA TO EVAPORATE/DISPERSE
OXYGEN. FLUSH AREA W/LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. DON'T ENTER AREAS
OF HIGH OXYGEN CONCENTRATION S. AVOID SMOKING/IGNITION.

Handling and Storage Precautions:PREVENT CONTACT OF LIQUID W/SKIN. USE
ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. PREVENT ENTRAPMENT OF LIQUID IN
CLOSED SYSTEMS. USE CHECK VALVE.
Other Precautions:STORE LIQUID CONTAINERS/CYLINDERS IN WELL VENTILATED
AREAS. DON'T STORE CYLINDERS OF OXYGEN WITHING 20 FT OF FLAMMABLE
OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, ESPECIALLY OIL OR GREASE. KEEP CYLINDERS
AWAY SOURCE OF HEAT.

Respiratory Protection:VENTS SHOULD BE SITUATED TO AVOID HIGHER THAN
NORMAL CONCENTRATION OF OXYGEN IN WORK AREAS.
Ventilation:PREVENT ACCUMULATION WITH NATURAL OR FORCED AIR.
Protective Gloves:LEATHER
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GLASSES, GOGGLES
