Emergency Overview:

Colorless, odorless, nonflammable gas. Simple Asphyxiant - This product does not contain oxygen and may cause asphyxia if
released in a confined area. Maintain oxygen levels above 19.5%. Carbon dioxide exposure can cause nausea and respiratory
problems. High concentrations may cause vasodilatation leading to circulatory collapse. Contents under pressure. Use and store
below 125O F (52O C).

First Aid Measures

Health Effects:

Carcinogenicity: NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No

Eye Effects:

Contact with rapidly expanding gas near the point of release may cause frostbite.

Skin Effects:

Contact with rapidly expanding gas near the point of release may cause frostbite with redness, skin color change to gray or white, and
blistering.

Ingestion Effects:

Ingestion is unlikely. Gas at room temperature.

Inhalation Effects:

Carbon dioxide is a cerebral vasodilator. Inhaling large concentrations causes rapid circulatory insufficiency leading to coma and
death. Chronic, harmful effects are not known from repeated inhalation of low concentrations. Low concentrations of carbon dioxide
cause increased respiration and headache.

Depending upon the concentration of carbon dioxide present, product may act as a simple asphyxiant. Effects of oxygen deficiency
resulting from simple asphyxiants 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 developmental abnormalities in humans and experimental animals.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:

None known.

NFPA Hazard Codes HMIS Hazard Codes Ratings System

Health: 0 Health: 0 0 = No Hazard
Flammability: 0 Flammability: 0 1 = Slight hazard
Instability: 0 Physical Hazard: 3 2 = Moderate Hazard
3 = Serious Hazard
4 = Severe Hazard

Hazard ratings were assigned in accordance with Compressed Gas Association (CGA) guidelines as published in CGA Pamphlet P­19-2009, CGA Recommended Hazard Ratings for Compressed Gases, 3rd Edition.

Eye:

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

Skin:

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

Ingestion:

Not anticipated; product is a gas.
