Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:OXYGEN IS NON TOXIC UNDER MOST
CONDITIONS OF USE AND IS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT LIFE. LIQUID OXYGEN
OR COLD GAS WILL FREEZE TISSUES AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE CRYOGENIC
BURNS. BREATHING OF PURE OXYGEN AT 60% M AY PRODUCE COUGH & CHEST
PAIN, CNS MANIFESTATIONS. INFANTS EXPOSED TO 35-40% OXYGEN MAY
SUFFER PERMANENT VISUAL DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Effects of Overexposure:WHEN EXPOSED TO 60% OXYGEN, SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
COUGHING AND CHEST PAIN. THESE SYMPTOMS MAY BE SEEN IN SEVERAL
DAYS. AT TWO ATMOSPHERES SYMPTOMS OCCUR IN 2-3 HOURS. INFANTS
EXPOSED TO OXYGEN LEVELS IN EX CESS OF 35-40% MAY SUFFER PERNAMENT
VISUAL IMPAIRMENT OR BLINDNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

First Aid:IF CRYOGENIC LIQUID OR COLD BOIL-OFF GAS CONTACTS A WORKER'S
SKIN OR EYES, FROZEN TISSUES SHOULD BE FLOODED OR SOAKED WITH TEPID
WATER (105-115F; 41-46C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. BURNS WHICH RESULT
IN B LISTERING OR DEEPER TISSUE FREEZING SHOULD BE SEEN PROMPTLY BY
A PHYSICIAN.

Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:OXYGEN IS NONFLAMMABLE, BUT SUPPORTS AND
VIGOROUSLY ACCELERATES COMBUSTION OF FLAMMABLES. TO FIGHT FIRES,
SHUT OFF SOURCES OF OXYGEN AND FIGHT FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:OXYGEN SUPPORTS AND VIGOROUSLY
ACCELERATES COMBUSTION OF FLAMMABLES. SOME MATERIALS WHICH ARE
NONCOMBUSTIBLE IN AIR WILL BURN IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN.

Spill Release Procedures:PREVENT LIQUID OXYGEN FROM CONTACTING GREASE,
OIL AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLES. VENTILATE AREA TO DISPERSE OXYGEN,
AVOID SMOKING, EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM RELEASE AREA. DO NOT
ENTER AREAS OF HIGH OXYGEN CONCENTRATION, WHICH CAN SATURATE
CLOTHING.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT APPLICABLE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:PREVENT CONTACT OF LIQUID OXYGEN WITH
EXPOSED SKIN. PREVENT ENTRAPMENT OF LIQUID IN CLOSED SYSTEM. USE
ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
Other Precautions:SECURE CYLINDERS WHEN NOT IN USE. AVOID DRAGGING,
