Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THIS MATERIAL IS INERT. IT CAN CAUSE
ASPHYXIATION BY DISPLACING OXYGEN. SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE DEPEND ON
THE DEGREE AND DURATION OF OXYGEN DEFICIENCY. SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXP
INCLUDE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, SH ORTNESS OF BREATH, MUSCULAR
WEAKNESS, DROWSINESS, AND RINGING IN THE EARS. HIGH CONC PRODUCE A

EVEN A FEW MIN OF EXPOS;>12% CAUSES RAPID UNCON. (SEE INGRED 2)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

First Aid:CONT W/LIQ/SOLID:PROMPTLY FLUSH AREAS AFFECTED W/LOTS OF
TEPID WATER TO REDUCE FREEZING OF TISS. DO NOT APPLY DIRECT HEAT TO
AFFECTED AREA. LOOSELY APPLY DRY, STERILE, BULKY DRESSINGS TO
PROTECT AREA FROM INFECTION & FROM FURTHER INJURY. GET MD.
INHAL:CAUTION. WOULD BE RESCUERS NEED TO BE CONCERNED WITH THEIR
SAFETY IN OXYGEN DEFICIENT AREAS. REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. (SEE
INGRED 3)

Extinguishing Media:USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE TO THE
SURROUNDING FIRE. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED (SEE SUPP
DATA)
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED
SCBA AND FULLY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MATL IS NONCOMBUSTIBLE & WILL NOT SUPPORT
COMBUSTION. IT PRESENTS NO UNUSUAL EXPLOSION HAZ UNLESS COMPRESSED
GAS IS EXPOSED TO FIRE, THEN MAY RUPTURE VIOLENTLY.

Spill Release Procedures:NOTIFY SAFETY PERSONNEL OF MAJOR LEAKS OR
SPILLS. EVACUATE AREA UNTIL VENTILATION CAN RESTORE A SAFE OXYGEN
LEVEL. EMERGENCY PERSONNEL NEED SCBA AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
AGAINST CONTACT WITH SOLID MATL (DRY ICE).
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, DARK, WELL VENT AREA
AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT. HANDLING, STORAGE, & UTILIZATION OF
COMPRESSED GAS CYL MUST BE I/A/W 29CFR 1910.101(6).
Other Precautions:DO NOT STORE IN ENCLOSED OR SUBSURFACE AREAS. DO NOT
PUT DRY ICE IN A CLOSED CONTAINER WHERE EVOLVED GAS CANNOT ESCAPE.
USE AN UNSEALED, INSULATED STORAGE CHEST OR CONTAINER FOR DRY ICE.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOS MAY OCCUR IN PLACES (SEE INGRED 5)

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED AIRLINE OR SCBA IN CO*2
ENRICHED ATMOSPHERES.
Ventilation:GENERAL & LOCAL EXHAUST TO PREVENT O*2 DEFICIENCY. (MIN.
18% O*2 VOLUME).
Protective Gloves:INSULATED.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Work Hygienic Practices:AVOID SKIN CONTACT, WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING,
SAFETY SHOES. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EXTING MEDIA:CONTAINERS OR, IF DESIRED, TO INCREASE RATE OF EVAPORATION
OF LIQ/SOLID IF THE INCREASED RATE CAN BE CONTROLLED. CO*2 IS USED
AS A FIRE-EXTINGUISHING AGENT PRIMARILY FOR ITS SMOTHERING EF FECT
(REDUCTION OF OXYGEN CONC TO POINTWHERE THE IMMED ATMOSPHERE CANNOT
SUPPORT COMBUST). (SEE INGRED 6)
