Hazard Identification

Emergency Overview:

50

Colorless, odorless non-flammable gas. Inhaled carbon monoxide binds to the blood hemoglobin, greatly reducing the red blood cell’s
ability to transport oxygen to body tissues. Effects may include headaches, dizziness, convulsions, loss of consciousness and death.
Mix may or may not have sufficient oxygen content to suppor t life; therefore mix should be treated as a simple asphxiant. Contents
under pressure. Use and store below 125

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:

None known. Ingestion is unlikely.

Inhalation Effects:

If released in a confined area this product may displace oxygen and result in asphyxia.
Inhaled carbon monoxide binds with blood hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin. Carboxyhemoglobin cannot take part in normal

oxygen transport, greatly reducing the blood’s ability to transport oxygen. Depending on levels and duration of exposure, symptoms
may include headache, dizziness, heart palpitations, weakness, confusion, nausea, and even convulsions, eventual unconsciousness
and death.

Some experimental evidence indicates teratogenic and reproductive effects for carbon monoxide.

NFPA Hazard Codes HMIS Hazard Codes Ratings System

Health: 2 Health: 2 0 = No Hazard
Flammability: 0 Flammability: 0 1 = Slight Hazard
Instability: 0 Physical Hazard: 0 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 P­19-2004, CGA Recommended Hazard Ratings for Compressed Gases, 2

Edition.

First Aid Measures

Eyes:

Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists or frostbite occurs, seek medical attention.

Skin:

Rinse skin thoroughly with water. For skin, immerse skin in lukewarm water. For frostbite or persistent irritation, seek medical
attention.

Ingestion:

None required.
