3. HAZARDA INDENTIFICATION
This product does not contain oxygen and may cause asphyxia if released in a confined area.
Simple
Hydrocarbons can cause irritation and central nervous system depression at high concentrations.
Extremely
Flammable
EYE EFFECTS:
None anticipated as product is a gas at room temperature.
SKIN EFFECTS:
None anticipated as product is a gas at room temperature.
INGESTION EFFECTS:
Ingestion is unlikely.
INHALATION EFFECTS:
Product is relatively nontoxic. Simple hydrocarbons can irritate the eyes, mucous membranes and
respiratory system at high concentrations.
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause dizziness, disorientation, in coordination, narcosis, or
nausea or narcotic.
This product may displace oxygen if released in a confined space. Maintain oxygen levels above
19.5% at sea level to prevent asphyxiation. Effects of oxygen deficiency resulting from simple
MSDS
asphyxiate may include: rapid breathing, diminished mental alertness, impaired muscular
coordination, faulty judgment, depression of all sensations, emotional instability, and fatigue. As
asphyxiation progresses, nausea, vomiting, prostration, and loss of consciousness may result,
eventually leading to convulsions, coma, and death.
Oxygen deficiency during pregnancy has produced development abnormalities in humans and
experimental animals.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES
Never introduce oil or ointment into the eyes without medical advice! If pain is present, refer the
victim to ophthalmologist for further treatment and follow-up.
SKIN
Remove contaminated clothing and flush affected area with cold water and soap. If irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION
Not normally required. Seek immediate medical attention.
INHALATION
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE
OT PRODUCT. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS. Conscious persons should be assisted to an uncontaminated area and
inhale fresh air. Quick removal from the contaminated area is most important. Unconscious
persons should be moved to an uncontaminated area, given assisted(artificial) respiration and
supplemental oxygen. Further treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
