Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHAL: LOW CONCENTRATIONS (3-5 MOLAR
%) CAUSE INCREASED RESPIRATION/HEADACHE. 8-15 MOLAR %
CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE HEADACHE/NAUSEA/VOMITING MAY LEAD TO
UNCONSCIOUSNESS IF NOT MOVED TO OPEN AIR/GIVEN OXYG EN. HIGHER
CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE RAPID CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO
COMA/DEATH. SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE DEPEND ON
Effects of Overexposure:DEGREE/DURATION OXYGEN DEFICIENCY. SYMPTOMS OF
OVEREXPOSURE ARE HEADACHE/DIZZY/SHORT BREATH/WEAK MUSCLES/
DROWSY/RINGING IN EARS. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS PRODUCE A FAINT
"ACIDIC" TASTE/ CAN CAUSE PARALYSI S OF RESPIRATORY CONTROL CENTER
OF NERVOUS SYSTEM. 2% (20,000 PPM) BY VOLUME IN ATMOSPHERE WILL
CAUSE A 50% INCREASE
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:AND IS DANGEROUS FOR EVEN A FEW
MINUTES OF EXPOSURE; >12% CAUSES RAPID UNCONSCIOUSNESS. CONTACT
W/LIQUID/SOLID CO2 CAN PRODUCE FROSTBITE/FREEZE BURNS. ACUTE EFFECT
IS ASPHYXIATION.

First Aid:CONTACT: PROMPTLY FLUSH AREAS W/LOTS OF TEPID WTR TO REDUCE
FREEZING OF TISSUE. DO NOT APPLY HEAT. LOOSLY APPLY
DRY/STERILE/BULKY DRESSINGS TO PROTECT AREA FROM INFECTION/FURTHER
INJURY. GET MED AID. INHAL: MOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. QUICKLY
RESTORE AND/OR SUPPORT BREATHING AS REQUIRED/ADMINISTER OXYGEN IF
AVAILABLE. GET MED AID.
