FIRST- AID MEASURES

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Notes to Physicians

In case of frostbite, place the frostbitten part in warm water. If warm water is not available or impractical
to use, wrap the affected parts gently in blankets. DO NOT USE HOT WATER.

5.

FIRE - FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media

Carbon Dioxide is used as an extinguishing agent and therefore is not a problem when trying to control a
blaze. Use extinguishing agent appropriate to other materials involved. Keep containers and
surroundings cool with water spray as containers may rupture or burst in the heat of a fire.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Containers may explode in heat of fire.

Special Protective Actions for Fire-Fighters

Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus as appropriate for specific fire
conditions.

6.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Remove leaking cylinder to a safe place. Ventilate the area. Leaks inside confined spaces may cause
suffocation as oxygen is displaced and should not be entered without a self-contained breathing
apparatus.

Environmental Precautions

None - Material is a normal atmospheric gas.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

None - Material evaporates.

7.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling

Containers should be properly stored and secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Do not drag,
slide or roll containers. Do not drop containers or permit them to strike against each other. Never apply
flame or localized heat directly to any part of the containers.

Conditions for safe storage

Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Storage area should be: - cool - dry - well ventilated ­under cover - out of direct sunlight
