Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE:PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH
LIQUEFIED/SOLID CARBON DIOXIDE CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE OR FREEZE
BURNS.INHALATION OF VAPOR IN CONCENTRATION OF 3-5% BY VOLUME IN AIR
CAUSES INCREASED RESPIRATION & HEADACHE;8-1 5% CAUSES
HEADACHE,NAUSEA,VOMITING & UNCONSCIOUSNESS.HIGHER CONCENTRATION MAY
LEAD TO COMA & DEATH.CHRONIC:UNKNOWN.
Effects of Overexposure:VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND CAN CAUSE
SUFFOCATION BY REDUCING AVAILABLE OXYGEN FOR BREATHING. MAY CAUSE
DIZZINESS, IMPAIRED COORDINATION, REDUCED MENTAL ACUITY, HEADACHE,
DIFFICULTY BREATHING, DROWS INESS, DEPENDING ON LENGTH OF EXPOSURE
AND CONCENTRATIONS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS

First Aid:GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.PROVIDE
CPR/OXYGEN IF NEEDED.EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF TEPID
WATER/STERILE SALINE.SKIN:FLUSH WITH LUKEWARM WATER.DO NOT USE HOT
WATER.P ROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY INALL CASES OF
OVEREXPOSURE TO CO2.RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.

Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY
CHEMICAL FOR SURROUNDING 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:THOUGH GAS CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE RELIEF DEVICES, THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED
FROM HIGH TEMPERATURES OR FIRE TO AVOID RISK OR RUPTURE.

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AREA. USE
APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. PROVIDE VENTILATION TO AREA AND
AVOID CONTACT WITH SOLID OR LIQUID AND EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF
VAPOR. VALVE OFF CARBON DIOXIDE S UPPLY FROM LEAKING OR BROKEN
COMPONENTS.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT APPLICABLE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL,DRY,VENTILATED
PLACE.DO NOT INSTALL STORAGE VESSELS IN SUB SURFACE,CLOSED AREA OR
NEAR HEAT/FLAME.
Other Precautions:AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED BREATHING OF VAPOR. AVOID
CONTACT WITH EYES OR SKIN. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. WASH
THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.

Respiratory Protection:POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE WITH FULL FACE PIECE
AND ESCAPE AIR SUPPLY OR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD
BE AVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCY USE.
Ventilation:SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION ABOVE TLV. LOCAL EXHAUST
SHOULD BE LOCATED NEAR THE FLOOR.
Protective Gloves:INSULATED AND COLD RESISTANT
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES WITH OPTIONAL FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
INDUSTRIAL-TYPE WORK CLOTHING AND APRON AS REQUIRED.
