Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CARBON DIOXIDE IS AN ASPHIXIANT. AS A
LIQUID OR SOLID, ITS HIGH RATE OF EVAPORATION CREATES AN INTENSE
COOLING OF THE BODY TISSUE CONTACTED WHICH RESULTS IN FROSTBITE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:PRODUCT IS NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY
IARC, NTP, OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:CONTACT:FROSTBITE AND FREEZE BURNS.
INHALED:HEADACHE, DIZZINESS SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND OTHER SYMPTOMS
OF OXYGEN STARVATION. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS PRODUCE A SLIGHT ACID
TASTE AND MAY PARALYSE THE BREA THING CONTROL CENTER.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OVEREXPOSURE MAY AGGRAVATE SOME
PULMONARY CONDITIONS.

First Aid:CONTACT: RINSE WITH WARM WATER 15 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL
ASSISTANCE IF ANY SYMPTOMS OF FROSTBITE OR FREEZING APPEAR.
INHALED:REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. RESTORE BREATHING. BE CAUTIOUS
ENTERING CLOSED AREA S IN A RESCUE EFFORT IF WITHOUT A SUPPLIED AIR
BREATHING APPARATUS. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM FOR RESCUE ATTEMPTS.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:PRODUCT IS NON FLAMMABLE. EXTINGUISH FIRE WITH
MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SOURCE OF FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PRODUCT IS AN ASPHIXIANT. FIRE MAY CAUSE
CYLINDERS TO EXPLODE.

Spill Release Procedures:PLACE LEAKING CYLINDERS OUTSIDE OR WHERE LEAK
IS EXHAUSTED BY LOCAL EXHAUST.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED
AREA. KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. PROTECT
CONTAINERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
Other Precautions:USE A SAFETY LINE, A STAND-BY WORKER AND A SUPPLIED
AIR RESPIRATOR WHEN ENTERING AREAS OF SUSPECTED OR KNOWN HIGH
CONCENTRATION.

Respiratory Protection:RESPIRATOR WILL NOT NORMALLY BE NECESSARY. USE
NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR IF EXPOSURE IS ABOVE
THE TLV/PEL. SEE 29 CFR 1910.134 FOR REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO
RESPIRATOR USE.
Ventilation:GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION IS NORMALLY ADEQUATE. USE LOCAL
EXHAUST IF NECESSARY TO CONTROL EXPOSURE BELOW PEL/TLV.
Protective Gloves:THERMAL PROTECTION IF CONTACT POSSIBLE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES (NO CONTACTS!)
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
INDUSTRIAL-TYPE WORK CLOTHING AND APRON AS REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:USE GOOD CHEMICAL HYGIENE PRACTICE. AVOID
CONTACT WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
