HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION2

Eyes; Inhalation; Skin;Route of Entry:
Target Organs: Bone marrow; Blood; Central nervous system; Upper respiratory tract;
Inhalation: Gas mixture contains sufficient oxygen to support life. Long term exposures to benzene at relatively low vapor

concentrations can cause blood system disorders. There are reports that exposure to low levels (10 PPM) over an

extended period (24 weeks) of benzene vapors can damage the bone marrow and blood systems. This damage can

result in the development of serious health disorders. Adverse health effects on the immune system have also been

reported. No symptoms were reported for exposure of 25 PPM for 10 minutes. 50 - 150 PPM caused headache,

tiredness, nose, and throat irritation. Severe inhalation over exposures may be fatal, due to asphyxiation.

Benzene is a confirmed human carcinogen which can produce Hodgkin's disease, leukemia, and lymphomas by

inhalation.
Skin Contact: Contact with rapidly expanding gas near the point of release may cause frostbite with redness, skin color change to

gray or white, and blistering.

Eye Contact: None anticipated. Contact with rapidly expanding gas near the point of release may cause frostbite.
Ingestion: Not anticipated. Product is a gas at normal conditions.

PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE TO PRODUCT. RESCUE
PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPED 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.

None required for gas. For frostbite, immerse skin in lukewarm water. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Obtain medical
attention.

None Required for gas. If frostbite is suspected, flush eyes with cool water for 15 minutes and obtain immediate
medical attention.

Not a direct hazard.
