OSHA Regulatory Status: This material is classified as hazardous under OSHA regulations.

IDLH (Carbon Monoxide): 1200 PPM

Emergency Overview:

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 support life; therefore mix should be treated as a simple asphxiant. Maintain
oxygen levels above 19.5%. Contents under pressure. Use and store below 1250F (520 C).

First Aid Measures

Route of Entry:

Health Effects:

Carcinogenicity: NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No

Eye Effects:

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

Skin Effects:

Contact with product may cause minor irritation. 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 as product is a gas.

Inhalation Effects:

Acute effects are not anticipated unless high concentrations of gas are inhaled or prolonged or repeated exposures occur. This mixture
contains small amounts of carbon monoxide, a substance which acts as a chemical asphyxiant. The affinity of hemoglobin for carbon
monoxide is 200-300 times greater than its affinity for oxygen; thus hemoglobin will preferentially bind to carbon monoxide and
asphyxiation can occur in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. Dependent on levels and duration of exposure, symptoms of
overexposure may include all or none of the following: dizziness, tingling, headache, shortness of breath, emotional instability,
defective memory, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, coma and death from respiratory arrest.

Lack of oxygen caused by overexposure to carbon monoxide may produce immediate as well as delayed neurological problems.
Inhalation of carbon monoxide may also adversely affect fetal development.

Medical conditions Aggravated By Exposure:
Individuals with anemia, lung disease, cerebrovascular disease, heart disease, smokers, and children are expected to be more
susceptible to the effects of carbon monoxide.

NFPA Hazard Codes HMIS Hazard Codes Ratings System

Health: 1 Health: 1 0 = No Hazard
Flammability: 0 Flammability: 0 1 = Slight Hazard
Reactivity: 0 Reactivity: 3 2 = Moderate Hazard
3 = Serious Hazard
4 = Severe Hazard

Note: Ratings were assigned in accordance with Compressed Gas Association (CGA) guidelines as published in CGA Pamphlet P-19­2009, CGA Recommended Hazard Ratings for Compressed Gases, 3rd Edition.

Eyes:

If irritation occurs, flush eyes with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If frostbite is suspected, flush eyes with cool water for 15 minutes
and obtain immediate medical attention.
