Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:LUNGS, CNS, EYES, SKIN.
ACUTE- CONTACT WITH LIQUID CAN CAUSE EYE AND SKIN FROSTBITE. GAS
MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. ASPHYXIANT. INHALATION MAY CAUSE
RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS. HIGH CONCENTRATI ONS MAY CAUSE RAPID
CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO DEATH. INGESTION IS NOT LIKLEY
(GAS). CHRONIC- UNKNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:FROSTBITE, EYE IRRITATION, HEADACHE,
DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS, STINGING OF THE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT,
EXCITATION, RAPID BREATHING AND HEART RATE, EXCESS SALIVATION,
SHORTNESS OF BREATH, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS , RINGING IN THE EAR,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, COMA, NAUSEA, VOMITING, WATERY EYES (FORMATION OF
WEAK CABONIC ACID)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONNEL WITH PRE-EXISTING CHRONIC
RESPIRATORY DISEASES OR HEART DISORDERS SHOULD REFRAIN FROM
BREATHING EXCESSIVE CARBON DIOXIDE.

First Aid:INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. PROVIDE CPR/OXYGEN IF NEEDED.
EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEE AN
OPHTHALMOLOGIST, URGENTLY. SKIN:FLUSH WITH WARM WATER (NOT TO
EXCEED 106 F). PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES
OF OVEREXPOSURE TO CO2. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH
SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. ORAL:NOT LIKELY. LIQUID CAUSES
FROSTBITE.

Flash Point:NONE
Lower Limits:NOT RELEVANT
Upper Limits:NOT RELEVANT
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM OR DRY CHEMICAL
FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED
CYLINDERS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND
NIOSH-APPROVED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CARBON DIOXIDE CANNOT CATCH FIRE BUT
CYLINDERS MAY RUPTURE.

Spill Release Procedures:LIQUID CARBON DIOXIDE WILL FORM SOLID CO2 (DRY
ICE) WHEN RELEASED TO ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE. THE AREA SHOULD BE
VENTILATED. CLEAN UP PERSONNEL SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS WITH FULL FA CE MASK AND HEAVY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED
PLACE. DO NOT STORE ABOVE 120F. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT. CAUTION! CAN CAUSE
RAPID SUFFOCATION DUE TO OXYGEN DEFICIENCY. USE WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. CO2 IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND TENDS TO ACCUMULATE NEAR
THE FLOOR IN CLOSED S PACES. READ ALL LABELS INSTRUCTIONS.

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE. HOWEVER,
AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATORS ARE REQUIRED WHILE WORKING IN CONFINED
SPACES WITH THIS PRODUCT. THE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION USE MUST
CONFORM WITH OSHA RULES AS SPECIF IED IN 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation:SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION ABOVE TLV. LOCAL EXHAUST
LOCATED NEAR THE FLOOR.
Protective Gloves:INSULATED AND COLD RESISTANT NEOPRENE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES RECOMMENDED
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION, SAFETY SHOWER,
INDUSTRIAL-TYPE WORK CLOTHING, SAFETY SHOES AND APRON AS REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.
