Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CARBON DIOXIDE IS THE MOST POWERFUL
CEREBRAL VASODILATOR KNOWN. INHALING LARGE CONCENTRATIONS CAUSES
RAPID CIRCULTORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO COMA AND DEATH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS COMPOUND CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS AT
CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.1% OR GREATER THAT ARE CARCINOGENS OR SUSPECT
CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:LOW CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE INCREASED RESPIRATION
AND HEADACHE. 8-15% CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA,
VOMITING. HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS RAPIDLY CAUSE CIRCULATORY
INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO COMA AND DE ATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESTORE BREATHING. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
