&MOUTH.CHRONIC:NO ADVERSE EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE COMPOUNDS IN THIS PRODUCT IS
LISTED BY IARC, NTP, OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE & SKIN CONTACT WITH LIQUID MAY CAUSE
FROSTBITE.INHALATION MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS,STINGING OF THE NOSE AND
THROAT,RAPI BREATHING,EXCESS SALIVATION AND VOMITING.DEATH CAN
OCCUR DUE TO LACK OF OXYGEN.S WALLOWING IS A HIGHLY UNLIKELY ROUTE
OFEXPOSURE.DAMAGE TO RETINAL CEL AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS MAY
OCCUR.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:UNLIKELY

First Aid:EYE:FLUSH W/WATER 15 MIN,HOLD LIDS OPEN.CALL A
DOCTOR.SKIN:WARM FROSTBITE AREA WITH WARM WATER(NOT TO EXCEED
105F).CALL A PHYSICIAN.INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.GIVE CPR/OXYGEN
IF NECESSARY.CALL A DOCT OR.INGESTION:THIS PRODUCT IS A GAS AT
NORMAL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE.

Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE CANNOT CATCH FIRE. USE MEDIA
APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM DANGER
AREA.IMMEDIATELY DELUGE CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY FROM MAXIMUM
DISTANCE UNTI COOL,THEN MOVE CONTAINERS AWAY FROM FIRE AREA
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE DUE TO HEAT OF
FIRE.CONTAINER SHOULD NOT BE KEPT AT A TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN
125F.MOST CONTAINERS HAVE PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES TO VENT.

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM DANGER AREA.USE
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHERE NEEDED.SHUT OFF LEAK IF
WITHOUT RISK.VENTILATE AREA.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL,DARK,WELL VENTILATED
AREA.KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED.NEVER WORK ON A PRESSURIZED
SYSTEM.IF THERE IS A LEAK,RELEASE PRESSURE FIRST.
Other Precautions:CAUTION:HIGH PRESSURE LIQUEFIED GAS.CAN CAUSE RAPID
SUFFOCATION.CARBON DIOXIDE IS HEAVIER THAN AIR.IT DISPLACES AIR
UPWARD AND CREATES AN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERE.VENTILATE SPACE
BEFORE ENTRY.VERIF Y SUFFICIENT OXYGEN CONCENTRATION.

Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATORS. SEE 29 CFR
1910.134 FOR REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO RESPIRATOR USE.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST IS PREFERRED. MECHANICAL (GENERAL) IS
ACCEPTABLE.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE
Eye Protection:IN ACCORDANCE WITH OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133
Other Protective Equipment:METATARSAL SHOES FOR CYLINDER HANDLING.EYE
WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
Work Hygienic Practices:USE GOOD CHEMICAL HYGIENE PRACTICE. AVOID
UNNECESSAR CONTACT.
