| HAZARD IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
NON-FLAMMABLE, COLORLESS, ODORLESS GAS. NITROGEN ACTS AS A SIMPLE
ASPHYXIANT, DISPLACING ATMOSPHERIC OXYGEN AND MAY CAUSE ASPHYXIATION IF
RELEASED IN A CONFINED AREA. CARBON MONOXIDE ACTS AS A CHEMICAL
ASPHYXIANT, 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 DEG. F
(52 DEG. C).

EYE EFFECTS: NONE REPORTED.
SKIN EFFECTS: NONE REPORTED.
INGESTION EFFECTS: NONE KNOWN. INGESTION IS UNLIKELY.
INHALATION EFFECTS:
DEPENDING ON THE CONCENTRATION OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE PRESENT, THIS
PRODUCT MAY ACT AS A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT OR A CHEMICAL ASPHYXIANT.
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.
SOME EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE INDICATES TERATOGENIC AND REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
RECOVERY FROM CARBON MONOXIDE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY OBESITY,
ALCOHOLISM, AND CHRONIC HEART DISEASE.

| FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYES:
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.
SKIN: NONE REQUIRED.
INGESTION: NONE REQUIRED.
INHALATION:
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE TO THIS
PRODUCT. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD 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. FOR SEVERELY POISNED 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.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
NON-FLAMMABLE. CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 20%
IN NITROGEN ARE CONSIDERED NON-FLAMMABLE (CGA P-23, 1995).
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
NONE REQUIRED. USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING MATERIALS.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SCBA) AND FULL TURNOUT OR
BUNKER GEAR. IF POSSIBLE, STOP THE FLOW OF GAS SUPPLY. USE WATER SPRAY TO
COOL ADJACENT CYLINDERS AND AREAS.
| ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA. USE APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT. IF LEAK IS IN USER'S EQUIPMENT, BE CERTAIN TO PURGE PIPING WITH
INERT GAS PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING REPAIRS. IF LEAK IS IN CONTAINER OR VALVE,
CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER LISTED IN SECTION 1 OR
CALL YOUR CLOSEST NORCO/NORLAB LOCATION.
| HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
CARBON MONOXIDE CAN BE HANDLED IN ALL COMMONLY USED METALS 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 THE CYLINDER 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 (<3000 PSIG) 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.
PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE IN COOL, DRY,
WELL-VENTILATED AREA OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION AWAY FROM HEAVY
TRAFFIC AREAS AND EMERGENCY EXITS. DO NOT ALLOW THE TEMPERATURE WHERE
CYLINDERS ARE STORED TO EXCEED 125 DEG. F (52 DEG. 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.
FOR ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS, CONSULT COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION'S
PAMPHLET P-1.
| EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
HOOD WITH FORCED VENTILATION. USE LOCAL EXHAUST TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION
ABOVE THE EXPOSURE LIMIT. USE MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ELECTRICAL CODES.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: SAFETY GOGGLES OR GLASSES AS APPROPRIATE FOR THE JOB.
SKIN PROTECTION: PROTECTIVE GLOVES MADE OF ANY SUITABLE MATERIAL.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE WITH MASK AND ESCAPE BOTTLE OR SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCY USE.
OTHER/GENERAL PROTECTION: SAFETY SHOES.
