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: CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM,
HEART, RESPIRATORY TRACT. ACUTE - EYE: THE LIQUID FORM OF THIS
PRODUCT CAN PRODUCE CHILLING SENSATION AND DISCOMFORT. SKIN:
EVAPORATION OF LIQUID FROM SKIN CAN C AUSE CHILLING SENSATION.

CAUSE SUFFOCATION BY REDUCING OXYGEN. BREATHING VERY HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR CAN CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS,
AND MAY LEAD TO NARCOSIS, CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSICOUSNESS
OR EVEN DEATH. INGESTION: INGESTION IS NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR SINCE
THIS MATERIAL IS GAS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. CHRONIC - U NKNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:EYE OR SKIN FROSTBITE AND FREEZE BURNS,
HEADACHE, DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS, RAPID BREATHING, IRREGULAR HEART
RATE, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS, RINGING IN THE EAR,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, COMA, DEATH
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONNEL WITH PRE-EXISTING
DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM MAY
HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE
EXPOSURES.

First Aid:GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. EYES: IMMEDIATELY
FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CALL PHYSICIAN. TREAT FOR
FROSTBITE IF NECESSARY. INHALED: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF
COUGH O R OTHER RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS OCCUR, CONSULT MEDICAL
PERSONNEL. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, PROVIDE OXYGEN. SKIN: WASH THE MATERIAL OFF
THE SKIN WITH COPIO US AMOUNT OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
