| 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
CARBON DIOXIDE EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE NAUSEA AND RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE VASODILATATION LEADING TO CIRCULATORY COLLAPSE.
ROUTE OF ENTRY:
SKIN CONTACT: NO
SKIN ABSORPTION: NO
EYE CONTACT: NO
INHALATION: YES
INGESTION: NO
HEALTH EFFECTS:
EXPOSURE LIMITS: YES
IRRITANT: NO
SENSITIZATION: NO
REPRODUCTIVE HAZARD: NO
MUTAGEN: NO
CARCINOGENICITY:
NTP: NO
IARC: NO
OSHA: NO
EYE EFFECTS: N/A
SKIN EFFECTS: N/A
INGESTION EFFECTS: INGESTION UNLIKELY. GAS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
INHALATION EFFECTS:
CARBON DIOXIDE IS THE MOST POWERFUL CEREBRAL VASODILATOR KNOWN. INHALING
LARGE CONCENTRATIONS CAUSES RAPID CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO
COMA AND DEATH. ASPHYXIATION IS LIKELY TO OCCUR BEFORE THE EFFECTS OF
CARBON DIOXIDE OVEREXPOSURE. CHRONIC, HARMFUL EFFECTS ARE NOT KNOWN
FORM REPEATED INHALATION OF LOW CONCENTRATIONS. LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF
CARBON DIOXIDE CAUSE INCREASED RESPIRATION AND HEADACHE.
EFFECTS OF OXYGEN DEFICIENCY RESULTING FORM SIMPLE ASPHYXIATION MAY
INCLUDE:
RAPID BREATHING, DIMINISHED MENTAL ALERTNESS, IMPAIRED MUSCULAR
COORDINATION, FAULTY JUDGEMENT, DEPRESSION OF ALL SENSATIONS, EMOTIONAL
INSTABILITY, AND FATIGUE. AS ASPHYXIATION PROGRESSES, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
PROSTRATION, AND LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS MAY RESULT, EVENTUALLY LEADING TO
CONVULSIONS, COMA, AND DEATH.

| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYES: N/A
SKIN: N/A
INGESTION: NOT REQUIRED
INHALATION:
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASED OF OVEREXPOSURE. RESCUE
PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED THE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
VICTIMS SHOULD BE ASSISTED TO AN UNCONTAMINATED AREA AND INHALE FRESH AIR.
QUICK REMOVAL FROM THE CONTAMINATED AREA IS MOST IMPORTANT. IF BREATHING
HAS STOPPED ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESUSCITATION AND SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN.
FURTHER TREATMENT SHOULD BE SYMPTOMATIC AND SUPPORTIVE.
| 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES | |
THESE CONTAINERS HOLD GAS UNDER PRESSURE, WITH NO LIQUID PHASE. IF
INVOLVED IN A MAJOR FIRE, THEY SHOULD BE SPRAYED WITH WATER TO AVOID
PRESSURE INCREASES, OTHERWISE PRESSURES WILL RISE AND ULTIMATELY THEY
MAY DISTORT OR BURST TO RELEASE THE CONTENTS. THE GASES WILL NOT ADD
SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE FIRE, BUT CONTAINERS OR FRAGMENTS MAY BE PROJECTED
CONSIDERABLE DISTANCES - THEREBY HAMPERING FIRE FIGHTING EFFORTS.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
IN TERMS OF WEIGHT, THESE CONTAINERS HOLD VERY LITTLE CONTENTS, SUCH THAT
ANY ACCIDENTAL RELEASE BY PUNCTURING ETC. WILL BE OF NO PRACTICAL CONCERN.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
SUCK BACK OF WATER INTO THE CONTAINER MUST BE PREVENTED. DO NOT ALLOW
BACKFEED INTO THE CONTAINER. USE ONLY PROPERLY SPECIFIED EQUIPMENT WHICH
IS SUITABLE FOR THIS PRODUCT, ITS SUPPLY PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. USE
ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. DO NOT HEAT CYLINDER BY ANY MEANS TO
INCREASE RATE OF PRODUCT FROM THE CYLINDER. DO NOT ALLOW THE TEMPERATURE
WHERE CYLINDERS ARE STORED TO EXCEED 130 DEG. F (54 DEG. C).
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION FOR EXTENDED USE OF GAS.
| 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES | |

ODOR AND APPEARANCE COLORLESS, ODORLESS GAS
| 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY | |
STABLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. EXPECTED SHELF LIFE 48 MONTHS.
| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
CARBON DIOXIDE IS THE MOST POWERFUL CEREBRAL VASODILATOR KNOWN. INHALING
LARGE CONCENTRATIONS CAUSES RAPID CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO
COMA AND DEATH. CHRONIC, HARMFUL EFFECTS ARE NOT KNOWN FORM REPEATED
INHALATION OF LOW (3 TO 5 MOLAR %) CONCENTRATIONS.
| 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
NO ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS PRODUCT.
| 13. DISPOSAL INFORMATION | |
DO NOT DISCHARGE INTO ANY PLACE WHERE ITS ACCUMULATION COULD BE DANGEROUS.
USED CONTAINERS ARE ACCEPTABLE FOR DISPOSAL IN THE NORMAL WASTE STREAM AS
LONG AS THE CYLINDER IS EMPTY AND VALVE REMOVED OR CYLINDER WALL IS
PUNCTURED; BUT GASCO ENCOURAGES THE CONSUMER TO RETURN CYLINDERS.
