Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:NERVOUS SYS CONTROL OF RESP IS
DEPENDENT ON CO*2 LEVEL BREATHED IN AIR. BY REDUCING O*2 LEVEL IN
AIR, CO*2 CAN CAUSE SUFFOCATION. SYMP OF OVEREXP INCL HDCH, DIZZ,
SHORTNESS OF BREATH, MUSC WEAK, DROW & RINGING IN EARS. INHAL:LOW
CONC (3-5 MOLAR %) CAUSE INCR RESP & HDCH. 8-15 MOLAR % CONC CAUSE
HDCH, (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:NAUS & VOMIT WHICH MAY LEAD TO UNCON
IF NOT MOVED TO OPEN AIR/GIVEN O*2. HIGH CONC CAUSE RAPID
CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO COMA & DEATH. WHEN

First Aid:INGEST:CALL MD IMMED. EYES:IMMED FLUSH W/POTABLE WATER FOR
MIN OF 15 MIN, SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM MD. INHAL:IF CONSCIOUS, ASSIST
TO UNCONTAMD AREA & INHALE FRESH AIR. QUICK REMOVAL FROM AREA IS
MOST IMPORTANT. IF UNCON, MOVE TO UNCONTAMD AREA, GIVE
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION & SUPPLEMENTAL O*2. ASSURE THAT
VOMITED MATL DOES NOT OBSTRUCT AIRWAY BY USE OF POSITIONAL
DRAINAGE. (ING 9)

Extinguishing Media:NONFLAMMABLE, INERT GAS.
