Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: If frostbite or
freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water
(105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm water is not
available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Get immediate
medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water for

Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw
immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank
truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Negligible fire hazard. The vapor is
heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition
sources and flash back. Containers may rupture or explode if
exposed to heat.

Accidental Release

Spill Release Procedures:Stop leak if possible without personal risk.
Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.

warning properties before use. For Unknown Concentrations or
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air
respirator with full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or
other positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece.
