Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THE PROPERTY IS THAT OF HYPEROXIA
WHICH LEADS TO PNEUMONIA. CONCENTRATIONS BETWEEN 25 & 75 MOLAR
PERCENT PRESENT A RISK OF INFLAMMATION OF ORGANIC MATTER IN THE
BODY. FROSTBITE EFFECTS ARE A CH ANGE IN COLOR OF SKIN TO GRAY OR
WHITEPOSSIBLY FOLLOWED BY BLISTERING.
Effects of Overexposure:BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS CAUSES SYMPTOMS
OF HYPEROXIA WHICH INCLUDE CRAMPS,NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, HYPOTHERMIA,
AMBYLOPIA, RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTIES, BRADYCARDIAFAINTING SPELLS &
CONVULSIONS CAPABLE OF LEADING TO DEATH. CONTACT WITH CRYOGENILIQ
CAN CAUSE TISSUE FREEZING OR FROSTBITE ON DERMAL CONTACT OR IF
SPLASH IN EYE
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
CAUSES SYMPTOMS OF HYPEROXIA. CONTACT WITH CRYOGENIC LIQUID CAN
CAUSETISSUE FREEZING OR FROSTBITE.

First Aid:RESCUE PEOPLE SHOULD BE COGNIZANT OF EXTREME FIRE HAZARD
ASSOC. WITH OXYGEN-RICHATMOSPHERES. PERSON SHOULD BE MOVED TO
UNCONTAMINATED AREA & BREATH FRESH AIR.KEEP WARM & QUIET. IF PERSON
IS UNCONSCI OUS,GIVE CPR, WHEN BREATHING IS RESTOREDCONT. AS ABOVE.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. FOR FROSTBITE, FLUSH AFFECTED AREAS
WITHLUKEWARM WATER, NOT HOT.

Extinguishing Media:COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF WATER FOR FIRES WITH OXYGEN
AS THE OXYDIZER
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF POSSIBLE, STOP THE FLOW OF OXYGEN WHICH IS
SUPPORTING THE FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VIGOROUSLY ACCELERATES COMBUSTION.

Spill Release Procedures:IF THERE IS A MALFUNCTION OR OPERATIONAL
PROBLEM WITH VESSEL, CONTACT CLOSEST SUNOX IMMEDIATELY. NOSMOKING
OR OPEN FLAME SHOULD BE ALLOWED NEAR THESEVESSELS. CYLINDERS MUST
ALWAYS BE KEPT IN UPRIGHT POSITION. USE ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED
AREAS.
