2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Inhalation: Depending on the concentration of the carbon monoxide present, this product may act as a simple

asphyxiate or a chemical asphyxiate.
Inhaled carbon monoxide binds with blood hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin. Carboxyhemoglobin

can not 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.

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: None known. Ingestion is unlikely.

Some experimental evidence indicates teratogenic and reproductive effects.

GHS Classifications:

Physical, Gases Under Pressure, Compressed Gas
Health, Acute toxicity, 5 Inhalation

GHS Phrases:

H280 - Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated
H333 - May be harmful if inhaled

GHS Precautionary Statements:

P201 - Obtain special instructions before use.
P202 - Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P261 - Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray.
P271 - Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P281 - Use personal protective equipment as required.
P304+312 - IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P304+340 - IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P308+313 - IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
P403+233 - Store in a well ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
CGA-PG02 - Protect from sunlight when ambient temperature exceeds 52 °C (125 °F).
CGA-PG05 – Use a back flow preventive device in the piping
CGA-PG06 – Close Valve after each use and when empty.
CGA-PG10 – Use only with equipment rated for cylinder pressure.
CGA-PG20 – Use only equipment of compatible materials of constructions.

Additional Hazard Statements (USA):

Simple Asphyxiate - May displace oxygen and cause rapid suffocation.

Non-flammable, colorless, odorless gas. Nitrogen acts as a simple asphyxiate, displacing atmospheric oxygen and may
cause asphyxiation if released in a confined area. Carbon monoxide acts as a chemical asphyxiate, binding 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. Contents under pressure. Use and store below 125
°F (52 °C).

FIRST AID MEASURES

PROMPT
PRODUCT. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOUID BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS. Conscious persons should be assisted to an uncontaminated area and be treated with
supplemental oxygen. Quick removal from the contaminated area is most important. Unconscious persons
should be moved to an uncontaminated area and be given artificial respiration and oxygen at the same
time. Administration of 100% oxygen by tight fitting face mask reduces the biological half-life of CO.

MEDICAI

ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN

ALL

CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE TO THIS

FOR SEVERELY POISONED PATIENTS, HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED. The administering of the oxygen at an elevated pressure (up to 2 to 2.5 atmospheres) has
shown to be beneficial as has treatment in a hyperbaric chamber. The physician should be informed that
the patient has inhaled toxic quantities of carbon monoxide.

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

Never introduce ointment or oil into the eyes without medical advice! Remove victim from the source of
contamination. Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. If pain is present, refer the victim to an
ophthalmologist for treatment and follow up. If the victim cannot tolerate light, protect the eyes with a light
bandage. If frostbite is suspected, flush with cool water for 15 minutes and obtain immediate medical
attention.

None anticipated; product is a gas.
