CARBON DIOXIDE

CAS: 124-38-9

RTECS: FF6400000

OSHA PEL 5000 PPM

ACGIH TLV: 5000PPM/30000STEL;93

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CARBON DIOXIDE DOES NOT SUPPORT LIFE
AND MAY PRODUCE IMMEDIATELY HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES. IF
CONCENTRATION EXCEEDS 10% UNCONSCIOUSNESS CAN OCCUR WITHOUT
PREVENTING SELF RESCUE. AT A HIGHER CONC ENTRATION IT AFFECTS THE
RESPIRATORYRATE.
Effects of Overexposure:AT A CONCENTRATION IN EXCESS OF 1.5% MAY
PRODUCE HYPERVENTILATION,HEADACHES, VISUAL DISTURBANCES, TREMOR,
LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH.

First Aid:PERSONS SUFFERING FROM THE TOXIC EFFECT OF CARBON DIOXIDE
SHOULD BE MOVED TO AREAS WITH NORMAL ATMOSPHERE. ASSISTED
RESPIRATION & SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN SHOULD BE GIVEN IF THE VICTIM IS
NOT BREATHING. FROZEN TISSUES SHOULD BE FLOODED ORSOAKED W/TEPID
WATER (DO NOT USE HOT WATER). CRYOGENIC BURNS WHICH RESULT IN
BLISTERING OR DEEPER TISSUE FREEZING SHOULD BE SEEN PROMPTLY BY A
PHYSICIAN.

Flash Point:NA
Lower Limits:NA
Upper Limits:NA
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE IS AN EXTINGUISHING AGENT FOR CLASS
B/C FIRES
Fire Fighting Procedures:NA
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NA

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE INDOOR AREAS WELL TO AVOID HAZARDOUS
CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATIONS. AVOID CONTACT WITH COLD VAPORS OR
DRY ICE. CARBON DIOXIDE IS A HVY GAS & WILL REMAIN IN LOW SPOTS
W/O ASSISTED VENTILATION.

Handling and Storage Precautions:PREVENT CONTACT OF LIQUID TO EXPOSED
SKIN. USE ONLY IN WELL VENT AREAS. KEEP CYLINDERS AWAY FROM
SOURCES OF HEAT. STORE IN NON ACTIVE AREA.
Other Precautions:NEVER USE DIRECT FLAME TO HEAT A COMPRESSED GAS
CYLINDER. VALVE CAPS SHOULD RE- MAIN ON CYLINDERS NOT CONNECTED FOR
USE. SEGREGATE FULL & EMPTY CYLINDERS. AVOIDEXPOSURE TO AREAS WHERE
SALT OR OTHER CO RROSIVE CHEMICALS ARE PRESENT.

Respiratory Protection:SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN OXYGEN
DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERE OR WHERE CARBNDIOXIDE EXCEEDS 1.5%. CAUTION
RESPIRATORS WILL NOT FUNCTION. USE MAY RESULT IN ASPHYXIATION.
Ventilation:NATURAL OR MECHANICAL. VENT SHOULD BE SITUATED TO AVOID
HIGHTHAN NORMAL CONCENTRATION OF CARB DIOXIDE IN WORK AREAS.
Protective Gloves:LOOSE FITTING GLOVES/IMPERMEABLE/LEATHER
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:NONE

Waste Disposal Methods:DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF RESIDUAL CARBON
DIOXIDE IN COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS. ALWAYS DISPOSE OF CARBON
DIOXIDE IN A WELL VENT LOCATION AWAY FROM WORK AREAS. RETURN
CYLINDERS TO AIR PRODUCTS WITH RESIDUAL PRESS VLV TIGHTLY CLSD &
CAP IN PLACE.
