2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Inhalation: 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.
As this product contains some oxygen (minimum of 10.5%), overexposure to carbon dioxide would
Skin Contact: Contact with rapidly expanding gas near the point of release may cause frostbite with redness, skin color
Eye Contact: Contact with rapidly expanding gas near the point of release may cause frostbite.
Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely. Gas at room temperature.

UEL: NA
NA
Extinguishing Media:
Use as appropriate for surrounding material.
Special Hazards Arising From the Substance or Mixture:

Oxygen gas
Advice for Firefighters:
Stop the flow of gas if it can be done without risk. Use water spray to cool surrounding containers. Continue to cool heat or
flame exposed containers until well after the flames are extinguished. Firefighters should wear a full-face piece,
NIOSH/MSHA- approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive pressure mode and full turnout gear.
Further Information:
If incinerated, may release toxic fumes.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Cylinders may rupture violently from pressure when involved in a fire situation.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures:
Evacuate all personnel from affected area. Use appropriate protective equipment. If a leak is in user's equipment, be certain
to purge piping with an inert gas prior to attempting repairs. If leak is in container or container valve, contact the appropriate
emergency telephone number listed in Section 1 or call your closest Norco/Noriab location.
Environmental Precautions:
Prevent further release (leakage/spillage) if safe to do so.
Methods and Materials for Containments and Cleaning Up:
Contact the appropriate emergency telephone number listed in Section 1 or call your closest Norco/Noriab location.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Reference to Other Sections:
See Section 7 for information on safe handling.
See Section 8 for information on personal protection equipment.
See Section 13 for information on proper disposal.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Precautions:
Storage Requirements:
Use only in well-ventilated areas. Valve protection caps must remain in place on refillable
cylinders unless cylinder is secured with valve outlet piped to use point. Do not drag, slide or
roll cylinders. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Use a pressure reducing
regulator when connecting cylinder to lower pressure piping or systems. Do not heat cylinder
by any means to increase the discharge rate of product from the cylinder. Use a check valve
or trap in the discharge line to prevent hazardous back flow into the cylinder.
Never carry a compressed gas cylinder or a container of a gas in cryogenic liquid from in an
enclosed space such as a car trunk, van or station wagon. A leak can result in a fire,
explosion, asphyxiation or a toxic exposure.
Non-hazardous. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Protect cylinders from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area of
non-combustible construction away from heavy traffic areas and emergency exits. Do not
allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to exceed 125 °F (52 °C). Cylinders should
be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Full and empty
cylinders should be segregated. Use a "first in - first out" inventory system to prevent full
cylinders from being stored for excessive periods of time.
For additional recommendations, consult Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet P-1.

CONTROLS/PERSONAL
All ventilation should be designed in accordance with OSHA standard (29 CFR 1910.94). Use
local exhaust at filling zones and where leakage and dust formation is probable. Use
mechanical (general) ventilation for storage areas. Use appropriate ventilation as required to
keep Exposure Limits in Air below TLV & PEL limits. Maintain atmospheric Oxygen content
at or above 19.5%
