Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
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.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS PRODUCT IS NOT LISTED BY NTP, IARC,
OR OSHA
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
WATE R. PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF
OVEREXPOSURE TO CO2. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.

Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENT. USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR
SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:HMIS: IGHTERS SHOULD USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA &
FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING FIRE. USE WATER SPRAY TO
COOL NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
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 AREA. USE APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT. PROVIDE VENTILATION TO AREA & AVOID CONTACT WITH
SOLID/LIQUID OR INHALATION OF VAPOR. VALVE OFF CARBON DIOXIDE
SUPPLY FROM LEAKING OR BROKEN COMPON ENTS. ELIMINATE FLAMES, HOT
SURFACES.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT APPLICABLE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL (UNDER 130F), DRY,
WELL 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. SECURE
ALL CYLINDERS.

Respiratory Protection:WHEN EXPOSED ABOVE TLV, WEAR NIOSH APPROVED
POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE RESPIRATOR 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.
