Fraction By Weight: 100%
OSHA PEL 5000 PPM
ACGIH TLV: 5000PPM/30000STEL;93
Hazards
LD50 LC50 Mixture:TLV IS 5000 PPM.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE- CONTACT WITH COLD VAPOR/SOLID
CARBON DIOXIDE CAN CAUSE EYE/SKIN FROSTBITE AND FREEZE BURNS.
ASPHYXIANT BY INHALATION. CAN INCREASE RATE OF BREATHING.
INHALATION OF >12% CAUSES RAPID UNCONSCIOUS NESS. INGESTION IS
UNLIKELY. CHRONIC- UNKNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:EYE OR SKIN FROSTBITE AND FREEZE BURNS.
MODERATE CONCENTRATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE MAY CAUSE HEADACHE,
DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS, STINGING OF THE NOSE AND THROAT, EXCITATION,
RAPID BREATHING AND HEART RATE, EXCESS SALIVATION, SHORTNESS OF
BREATH, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS, RINGING IN THE EAR AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS
BY INHALATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS
First Aid
First Aid:INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. PROVIDE CPR/OXYGEN IF NEEDED.
EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEE AN
OPHTHALMOLOGIST, URGENTLY. SKIN:FLUSH WITH WARM WATER (NOT TO
EXCEED 105 F). PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES
OF OVEREXPOSURE TO CO2. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH
SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Fire Fighting
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE CANNOT CATCH FIRE. USE WATER FOG,
CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY CHEMICAL FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
NIOSH-APPROVED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE
EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY. EVACUATE AREA.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THOUGH GAS CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE RELIEF DEVICES, THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED
FROM HIGH TEMPERATURES OR FIRE TO AVOID RISK OF RUPTURE.
Accidental Release
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE PERSONNEL. USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
VENTILATE AREA AND AVOID CONTACT WITH SOLID OR LIQUID AND EXCESSIVE
INHALATION OF VAPOR. MOVE LEAKING CONTAINER TO WELL-VENTILATED
AREA. TEST AREA FOR SUF FICIENT OXYGEN CONTENT PRIOR TO ALLOW
RE-ENTRY.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT
Handling
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED DARK
PLACE. NEVER WORK ON A PRESSURIZED SYSTEM. IF THERE IS A LEAK,
CLOSE THE CYLINDER VALVE AND BLOW DOWN THE SYSTEM
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT. CAUTION! CAN CAUSE
RAPID SUFFOCATION DUE TO OXYGEN DEFICIENCY. USE WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. CO2 IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND TENDS TO ACCUMULATE NEAR
THE FLOOR IN CLOSED S PACES. READ ALL LABELS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
Exposure Controls
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE. HOWEVER,
AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATORS ARE REQUIRED WHILE WORKING IN CONFINED
SPACES WITH THIS PRODUCT. THE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION USE MUST
CONFORM WITH OSHA RULES AS SPECIF IED IN 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST TO CONTROL THE CONCENTRATION OF THIS PRODUCT
IN WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE. MECHANICAL/GENERAL ACCEPTABLE.
Protective Gloves:INSULATED AND COLD RESISTANT NEOPRENE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133)
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION, SAFETY SHOWER,
INDUSTRIAL-TYPE WORK CLOTHING, SAFETY SHOES AND APRON AS REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
USE A SAFETY LINE AND A STANDBY WORKER WHEN RESPIRATOR-PROTECTED
PERSONNEL ENTER A HAZARDOUS CARBON DIOXIDE-ENRICHED AREA.
