Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:NITROGEN MAY PRODUCE SUFFOCATION BY
DILUTING THE CONCENTRATION OF OXYGEN IN AIR NECESSARY TO SUPPORT
LIFE. OXYGEN CONCENTRATION <19.5% MUST BE AVOIDED. OXYGEN DEFICIENT
ATMOSPHERES MAY PRODUCE DIZZINE SS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, LOSS OF
CONSCIOUSNESS & DEATH. DEATH MAY RESULT FROM ERRORS IN JUDGEMENT,
(EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:CONFUSION OR LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
WHICH PREVENTS SELF-RESCUE. AT LOW OXYGEN CONCENTRATIONS,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS & DEATH CAN OCCUR IN SECONDS WITHOUT WARNING.
