2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Inhalation: Nitrogen acts as a simple asphyxiate displacing the oxygen content in the air necessary for life. The

following effects of asphyxiation are representative and it is possible that none of these symptoms may
occur: loss of balance or dizziness; tightness in the frontal area of the forehead; tingling of the tongue,
fingertips or toes; weakened speech leading to the inability to utter sounds; rapid reduction in the ability to
perform movements; reduced consciousness of surroundings; loss of tactile sensations; and heightened
mental activity. Exposure to non-fatal levels of hydrogen sulfide may result in coughing, lacrimation,
mucous nasal discharge, depression, fluid sounds in the lungs, headache, sweating, vertigo, irritability,
weakness confusion, delirium, convulsions and cyanosis. At higher exposures hydrogen sulfide may
cause sudden collapse, anoxic convulsions, pulmonary edema, hemorrhages in various organs,
degenerative changes in the liver and kidney, edema of the intestines and brain and/or rapid death.
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

may cause painful conjunctivitis, photophobia, lacrimation and corneal opacity. Exposure to 50-100 PPM
hydrogen sulfide has resulted in temporary damage to the corneal epithelium in dogs, cats, rabbits, and

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 asphyxiate. Contents under

FIRST AID MEASURES

PROMPT REMOVAL FROM THE CONTAMINATED AREA AND IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IS
MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED
WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. Conscious persons should be assisted to an
uncontaminated area and 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. The physician should be informed that the patient has inhaled
quantities of hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide.

Flush affected area with copious quantities of water. Remove contaminated clothing as rapidly as possible.
If irritation persists, seek
medical attention. For frostbite, immerse skin in lukewarm water. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Obtain
medical attention.

PERSONS WITH POTENTIAI EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SUIFIDE SHOUID NOT WEAR CONTACT
LENSES. In case of eye contact, immediately flush with low pressure, cool water for at least 15 minutes,
opening eyelids to ensure flushing. Get immediate medical attention. If frostbite is suspected, flush with
cool water for 15 minutes and obtain immediate medical attention.

Ingestion unlikely. Gas at room temperature.
