HAZARDS NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED (HNOC) OR NOT COVERED BY GHS:

ROUTE OF ENTRY: INHALATION

TARGET ORGANS:
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; LUNGS; BLOOD; CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

INHALATION:
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE. INHALATION OF RELATIVE HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF THIS GAS MAY CAUSE SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE
EXPOSURE.

CARBON MONOXIDE IS ODORLESS AND COLORLESS. THERE MAY BE NO WARNING OF
OVEREXPOSURE UNTIL SYMPTOMS OCCUR. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A CHEMICAL
ASPHYXIANT. 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 CONCENTRATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND DURATION OF EXPOSURE,
SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, HEART PALPITATIONS, WEAKNESS,
CONFUSION, NAUSEA, AND EVEN CONVULSIONS, EVENTUAL UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND
DEATH. LACK OF OXYGEN FROM CARBON MONOXIDE OVER EXPOSURE MAY PRODUCE
IMMEDIATE AS WELL AS DELAYED NEUROLOGICAL EFFECTS. CARBON MONOXIDE MAY
ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT FETAL DEVELOPMENT.

SKIN CONTACT:
NON-IRRITATING. CONTACT WITH RAPIDLY EXPANDING GAS NEAR THE POINT OF
RELEASE MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE WITH REDNESS, SKIN COLOR CHANGE TO GRAY OR
WHITE, AND BLISTERING.

EYE CONTACT:
NON-IRRITATING. NONE ANTICIPATED. CONTACT WITH RAPIDLY EXPANDING GAS NEAR
THE POINT OF RELEASE MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION:
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE TO
PRODUCT. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPED 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, GIVEN ASSISTED (ARTIFICIAL) RESPIRATION AND
SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN. THE ADMINISTERING OF 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.

SKIN CONTACT:
NON-IRRITATING. NONE REQUIRED FOR GAS. FOR FROSTBITE, IMMERSE SKIN
IN LUKEWARM WATER. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.

EYE CONTACT:
NON-IRRITATING. NONE REQUIRED FOR GAS. IF FROSTBITE IS SUSPECTED, FLUSH
EYES WITH COOL WATER FOR 15 MINUTES AND OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

INGESTION: NOT A DIRECT HAZARD.

5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLAMMABILITY: FLAMMABLE GAS

FLASH POINT: NOT AVAILABLE

FLASH POINT METHOD: NOT AVAILABLE

BURNING RATE: NOT AVAILABLE

AUTOIGNITION TEMP: 1292 DEG F (700 DEG C)

LEL: 12% BY VOLUME
UEL: 75% BY VOLUME

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
HAVING ALMOST THE SAME DENSITY AS AIR, CARBON MONOXIDE WILL NOT DIFFUSE BY
RISING. FLAMMABLE IN AIR OVER A VERY WIDE RANGE. IT REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH
OXYGEN DIFLUORIDE AND BARIUM PEROXIDE. CYLINDERS MAY RUPTURE VIOLENTLY OR
VENT RAPIDLY FROM PRESSURE WHEN INVOLVED IN A FIRE SITUATION.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
STOP THE FLOW OF GAS BEFORE EXTINGUISHING FIRE. WATER, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON
DIOXIDE.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
IF POSSIBLE, STOP THE FLOW OF GAS. INERTING THE ATMOSPHERE TO REDUCE OXYGEN
LEVELS MAY EXTINGUISH FLAME, ALLOWING CAPPING OF LEAKING CONTAINER. DO NOT
ATTEMPT THIS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY TRAINED. REDUCE THE RATE OF FLOW AND
INJECT AN INERT GAS, IF POSSIBLE, BEFORE COMPLETELY STOPPING THE FLOW TO
PREVENT FLASHBACK. DO NOT EXTINGUISH THE FIRE UNTIL THE SUPPLY IS SHUT OFF
AS OTHERWISE AN EXPLOSIVE RE-IGNITION MAY OCCUR. IF THE FIRE IS
EXTINGUISHED AND THE FLOW OF GAS CONTINUES, USE INCREASED VENTILATION TO
PREVENT BUILD-UP OF EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS TO CLOSE
CONTAINER VALVES.

USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL SURROUNDING CONTAINERS. BE CAUTIOUS OF A BOILING
LIQUID EVAPORATING VAPOR EXPLOSION, BLEVE, IF FLAME IS IMPINGING ON
SURROUNDING CONTAINERS. DIRECT 500 GPM WATER STREAM ONTO CONTAINERS ABOVE
LIQUID LEVEL WITH REMOTE MONITORS. LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PERSONNEL IN
PROXIMITY OF FIRE AND EVACUATE SURROUNDING AREAS IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SCBA) AND FULL TURNOUT
OR BUNKER GEAR. CONTINUE TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CYLINDERS UNTIL WELL AFTER
FLAMES ARE EXTINGUISHED.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

ISOLATE HAZARD AREA, EVACUATE PERSONNEL AND DENY ENTRY TO UNAUTHORIZED/
UNPROTECTED INDIVIDUALS. EXTINGUISH ALL IGNITION SOURCES AND VENTILATE
CLOSED SPACES AND LOW AREAS. PERSONNEL ENTERING AREA SHOULD WEAR
APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT INCLUDING RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SUITABLE
FOR UNKNOWN CONCENTRATIONS. PERSONNEL SHOULD NOT REENTER HAZARD AREA UNTIL
CARBON MONOXIDE HAS SUFFICIENTLY DISPERSED AND ADEQUATE OXYGEN
RE-ESTABLISHED. IF A LEAK IS IN USER'S EQUIPMENT, BE CERTAIN TO PURGE
PIPING WITH AN INERT GAS PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING REPAIRS. IF LEAK IS IN
CONTAINER OF CONTAINER VALVE, CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY TELEPHONE
NUMBER LISTED IN SECTION1OR CALL YOUR CLOSEST NORCO/NORLAB LOCATION.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
EARTH-GROUND AND BOND ALL LINES AND EQUIPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CARBON
MONOXIDE SYSTEM. ALL EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE NON-SPARKING OR EXPLOSION PROOF.

CARBON MONOXIDE CAN BE HANDLED IN ALL COMMONLY USED MATERIALS UP TO
APPROXIMATELY 500 PSIG (3450 KPA). ABOVE THAT PRESSURE IT FORMS TOXIC AND
CORROSIVE CARBONYL COMPOUNDS WITH SOME METALS. CARBON STEELS, ALUMINUM
ALLOYS, COPPER AND COPPER ALLOYS, LOW CARBON STAINLESS STEELS AND NICKEL-
BASED ALLOYS SUCH AS HASTELLOY A, B & C ARE RECOMMENDED FOR HIGHER PRESSURE
APPLICATIONS.

USE ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. VALVE PROTECTION CAPS MUST REMAIN IN
PLACE UNLESS CONTAINER IS SECURED WITH VALVE OUTLET PIPED TO USE POINT. DO
NOT DRAG, SLIDE OR ROLL CYLINDERS. USE A SUITABLE HAND TRUCK FOR CYLINDER
MOVEMENT. USE A PRESSURE REGULATOR WHEN CONNECTING CYLINDER TO LOWER
PRESSURE PIPING OR SYSTEMS. DO NOT HEAT CYLINDER BY ANY MEANS TO INCREASE
THE DISCHARGE RATE OF PRODUCT FROM THE CYLINDER. USE A CHECK VALVE OR TRAP
IN THE DISCHARGE LINE TO PREVENT HAZARDOUS BACK FLOW INTO THE CYLINDER.

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
AREA AWAY FROM HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS AND EMERGENCY EXITS. DO NOT ALLOW THE
TEMPERATURE WHERE CYLINDERS ARE STORED TO EXCEED 125 DEGREES F
(52 DEGREES C). CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED UPRIGHT AND FIRMLY SECURED TO
PREVENT FALLING OR BEING KNOCKED OVER. FULL AND EMPTY CYLINDERS SHOULD BE
SEGREGATED. USE A "FIRST IN-FIRST OUT" INVENTORY SYSTEM TO PREVENT FULL
CYLINDERS FROM BEING STORED FOR EXCESSIVE PERIODS OF TIME. POST "NO SMOKING
OR OPEN FLAMES" SIGN IN THE STORAGE OR USE AREA.

FOR ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS CONSULT COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION
PAMPHLET P-1.

NEVER CARRY A COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER OR A CONTAINER OF A GAS IN CRYOGENIC
LIQUID FORM IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE SUCH AS A CAR TRUNK, VAN OR STATION WAGON.
A LEAK CAN RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION, ASPHYXIATION OR A TOXIC EXPOSURE.

8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
PROVIDE GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION AND LOCAL EXHAUST TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION
ABOVE THE EXPOSURE LIMIT AND TO MAINTAIN OXYGEN LEVELS ABOVE 19.5%.
MECHANICAL VENTILATION SHOULD BE DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ELECTRICAL
CODES.

EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
SAFETY GOGGLES OR GLASSES AS APPROPRIATE FOR THE JOB.

SKIN PROTECTION:
PROTECTIVE GLOVES OF MATERIAL APPROPRIATE FOR THE JOB.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE WITH FULL-FACE MASK AND ESCAPE BOTTLE OR SELF-
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCY USE.
