| HEALTH HAZARDS | |
HEALTH HAZARDS:
METHANE AS AN ALKANE 1000 PPM. CARBON MONOXIDE TCLO HUMAN IS 650 PPM/45
MINUTES AND THE IDLH FOR CARBON MONOXIDE IS 1200PPM. HYDROGEN SULFIDE LCLO
800 PPM/5 MINUTES. NO EFFECTS KNOWN BELOW 10-PPM HYDROGEN SULFIDE. NITROGEN
IS AN ASPHYXIANT. CARBON DIOXIDE IS A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT WITH PHYSIOLOGICAL
EFFECTS AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS, LCLO (HUMAN) 9PPH/5MINUTES, IDLH FOR CARBON
DIOXIDE IS 40,000 PPM.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
EXPOSURE TO METHANE AT 1000 PPM MAY CAUSE CARDIAC SENSITIZATION AND CNS
IMPAIRMENT. EXPOSURE TO 500-1000 PPM CARBON MONOXIDE MAY CAUSE HEADACHE,
RAPID BREATHING, NAUSEA, WEAKNESS, DIZZINESS AND CONFUSION. HYDROGEN
SULFIDE IS AN IRRITANT OF THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. EXPOSURE TO
CARBON DIOXIDE AT CONCENTRATIONS 2-10% CAN CAUSE DIZZINESS, NAUSEA,
HEADACHE, MENTAL CONFUSION, INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE AND RESPIRATORY RATE.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: INHALATION, EYES
TARGET ORGANS:
METHANE: HEART AND CNS.
CARBON MONOXIDE:
LUNGS, BLOOD, AND TISSUES. CARBON MONOXIDE AT TOXIC CONCENTRATIONS CAUSES
TISSUE HYPOXIA (LACK OF OXYGEN) BY PREVENTING BLOOD FROM TRANSPORTING
SUFFICIENT OXYGEN. HYDROGEN SULFIDE EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY
TRACT.
CARBON DIOXIDE: LUNGS, CNS AND EYES.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS BEING AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
METHANE EXPOSURE MAY AGGRAVATE CNS AND HEART CONDITIONS. CARBON MONOXIDE
BURDEN MAY AGGRAVATE ANGINA PECTORIS. PREGNANT WOMEN ARE REPORTEDLY MORE
SENSITIVE THAN OTHERS. EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE ARE AGGRAVATED
BY HEAVY LABOR, HEAT STRESS AND HIGH ALTITUDE. CARBON DIOXIDE MAY AGGRAVATE
ACUTE OR CHRONIC RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS. OVER EXPOSURE TO CARBON DIOXIDE
MAY AGGRAVATE EYE DISORDERS AND CNS CONDITIONS.
EXPOSURE LIMITS:
METHANE AS AN ALKANE 1000 PPM. CARBON MONOXIDE 25 PPM TWA, (ACGIH 2009);
OSHA PEL TWA 50 PPM. HYDROGEN SULFIDE; 10 PPM TWA, 15 PPM STEL (ACGIH
2009); OSHA PEL C20PPM, STEL 50 PPM. CARBON DIOXIDE 5000 PPM TWA, 30,000
PPM STEL (ACGIH 2009); OSHA PEL 5000 PPM.
CARCINOGENICITY DATA:
NIOSH RTECS, OSHA, NTP OR IARC DOES NOT LIST COMPONENT GASES.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. ADMINISTER OXYGEN. CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
| SAFE HANDLING AND USE | |
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: AVOID BREATHING GAS.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES DURING REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED
EQUIPMENT:
N/A
PROCEDURES FOR SPILL OR LEAK CLEANUP: VENTILATE AREA.
WASTE DISPOSAL:
DO NOT PUNCTURE OR INCINERATE CYLINDER. BEFORE DISCARDING CYLINDER, SLOWLY
RELEASE CONTENTS TO A SAFE EXHAUST. DISPOSE OF CYLINDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH
LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS
STORAGE:
STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT EXCEED 120 DEG. F.
| CONTROL MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
DUE TO THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE CYLINDER, AND THE LOW RELEASE RATE
EMPLOYED IN INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION, RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IS NOT INDICATED
UNDER CONDITIONS OF INTENDED USE.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: MECHANICAL VENTILATION IS SUITABLE.
WORK PRACTICES:
AVOID BREATHING GAS. USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. FOLLOW THE CALIBRATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED IN THE MSA INSTRUCTION MANUAL PROVIDED WITH THE
INSTRUMENT UNDER CALIBRATION.
DATE OF PREPARATION: REV. 0, MAY 2009
