Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES/SKIN: PROLONGED CONTACT CAN CAUSE
SLIGHT IRRITATION. AVOID BREATHING OF VAPOR WHICH IS HEAVIER THAN
AIR AND CAN CAUSE SUFFOCATION BY REDUCED OXYGEN. CONTACT WITH CO2

POSSIBLE FROSTBITE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CARBON DIOXIDE IS NOT KNOWN TO BE A
CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION OF EYES/SKIN/RESPIRATORY TRACT.
BREATHING VERY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR CAN CAUSE
LIGHTHEADEDNESS, GIDDINESS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, MUSCULAR TREMORS
AND WEAKNESS, HEADACHES, TINNITUS, A CROCYANOSIS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS
AND DEATH IN EXTREME CASES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF SKIN AND
RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.
