Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid: INHALATION: If gas is inhaled, move victim to fresh air. If
breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
weak, give oxygen. Get medical attention without delay. SKIN
CONTACT: If this chemical contacts the skin, immediately flush the
contaminated skin with soap and water. If clothing is contaminated,
immediately remove and flush the skin with soap and water. Get
medical attention promptly. Assume victim has also been exposed by
inhalation. EYE CONTACT: In case of eye contact, immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water for at least 30 minutes, occasionally
lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention
immediately. INGESTION: Ingestion is not a route of exposure. NOTE
TO PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen.

Fire Fighting Procedures:onflammable gas
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Heating of cylinder beyond pressure
relief.

Spill Release Procedures:Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Use
appropriate protective equipment including self-contained breathing
apparatus. Be certain to flush lines and enclosures with inert gas
before repairing.
Neutralizing Agent:

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Protect from physical
damage. Avoid direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry, well
ventilated area of non-combustible construction. Keep away from
