CAUTION!
HIGH-PRESSURE LIQUID AND GAS.
CAN CAUSE RAPID SUFFOCATION.
CAN INCREASE RESPIRATION AND HEART RATE.
MAY CAUSE NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE.
MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.
MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS AND DROWSINESS.
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE REQUIRED BY RESCUE WORKERS.

| TLV-TWA, 15 MIN STEL, 30,000 PPM.
EFFECTS OF A SINGLE (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION:
CARBON DIOXIDE GAS IS AN ASPHYXIANT WITH EFFECTS DUE TO LACK OF OXYGEN. IT
IS ALSO PHYSIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE, AFFECTING CIRCULATION AND BREATHING.
MODERATE CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS, STINGING
OF THE NOSE AND THROAT, EXCITATION, RAPID BREATHING AND HEART RATE, EXCESS
SALIVATION, VOMITING, AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS. LACK OF OXYGEN CAN KILL.
SKIN CONTACT:
NO HARM EXPECTED FROM VAPOR. COLD GAS, OR LIQUID OR SOLID CARBON DIOXIDE
MAY CAUSE SEVERE FROSTBITE.
SWALLOWING:
AN UNLIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. THIS PRODUCT IS A GAS AT NORMAL TEMPERATURE
AND PRESSURE.
EYE CONTACT:
NO HARM EXPECTED FROM VAPOR. COLD GAS, OR LIQUID OR SOLID CARBON DIOXIDE
MAY CAUSE SEVERE FROSTBITE.
EFFECTS OF REPEATED (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE: NO HARM EXPECTED.
OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
DAMAGE TO RETINAL OR GANGLION CELLS AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM MAY OCCUR.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE:
THE TOXICOLOGY AND THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON DIOXIDE
SUGGEST THAT OVEREXPOSURE IS UNLIKELY TO AGGRAVATE EXISTING MEDICAL
CONDITIONS.
SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH HAZARD
EVALUATION:
A SINGLE STUDY HAS SHOWN AN INCREASE IN HEART DEFECTS IN RATS EXPOSED TO 6%
CARBON DIOXIDE IN AIR FOR 24 HOURS AT DIFFERENT TIMES DURING GESTATION.
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT CARBON DIOXIDE IS TERATOGENIC IN HUMANS.
CARCINOGENICITY: CARBON DIOXIDE IS NOT LISTED BY NTP, OSHA, OR IARC.
| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION:
IMMEDIATELY REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MAY GIVE
OXYGEN. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
SKIN CONTACT:
FOR EXPOSURE TO COLD VAPOR OR SOLID, IMMEDIATELY WARM FROSTBITE AREA WITH
WARM WATER NOT TO EXCEED 105 DEG. F (41 DEG. C). IN CASE OF MASSIVE
EXPOSURE, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING WHILE SHOWERING WITH WARM WATER.
CALL A PHYSICIAN.
SWALLOWING:
AN UNLIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. THIS PRODUCT IS A GAS AT NORMAL TEMPERATURE
AND PRESSURE.
EYE CONTACT:
FOR EXPOSURE TO COLD VAPOR OR SOLID, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES THOROUGHLY WITH
WARM WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. HOLD THE EYELIDS OPEN AND AWAY FROM THE
EYEBALLS TO ENSURE THAT ALL SURFACES ARE FLUSHED THOROUGHLY. SEE A
PHYSICIAN, PREFERABLY AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST, IMMEDIATELY.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:
THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE. TREATMENT OF OVEREXPOSURE SHOULD BE DIRECTED
AT THE CONTROL OF SYMPTOMS AND THE CLINICAL CONDITION OF THE PATIENT.
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLASH POINT (TEST METHOD): NOT APPLICABLE
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: NOT APPLICABLE
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR, % BY VOLUME:
LOWER: NOT APPLICABLE

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
CARBON DIOXIDE CANNOT CATCH FIRE. USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING
FIRE.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
CAUTION!
HIGH-PRESSURE GAS LIQUID AND GAS.
EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM DANGER AREA. IMMEDIATELY DELUGE CYLINDERS WITH
WATER FROM MAXIMUM DISTANCE UNTIL COOL, THEN MOVE THEM AWAY FROM FIRE AREA
IF WITHOUT RISK. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE REQUIRED BY
RESCUE WORKERS. ON-SITE FIRE BRIGADES MUST COMPLY WITH OSHA 29 CFR
1910.156.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
HEAT OF FIRE CAN BUILD PRESSURE IN CYLINDER AND CAUSE IT TO RUPTURE.
RECOMMENDED STORAGE TEMPERATURE: -30 DEGREES C TO +65 DEGREES C.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: NONE KNOWN.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
CAUTION!
HIGH-PRESSURE LIQUID AND GAS. CARBON DIOXIDE IS AN ASPHYXIANT. LACK OF
OXYGEN CAN KILL. EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM DANGER AREA. USE
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHERE NEEDED. SHUT OFF LEAK IF YOU CAN
DO SO WITHOUT RISK. VENTILATE AREA OR MOVE CYLINDER TO A WELL-VENTILATED
AREA. TEST FOR SUFFICIENT OXYGEN, ESPECIALLY IN CONFINED SPACES, BEFORE
ALLOWING REENTRY.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
PREVENT WASTE FROM CONTAMINATING THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT. KEEP
PERSONNEL AWAY. DISCARD ANY PRODUCT, RESIDUE, DISPOSABLE CONTAINER, OR
LINER IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE MANNER, IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH
FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REGULATIONS. IF NECESSARY, CALL YOUR LOCAL
SUPPLIER FOR ASSISTANCE.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN STORAGE:
STORE AND USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. IF APPLICABLE, SECURE CYLINDERS
UPRIGHT TO KEEP THEM FROM FALLING OR BEING KNOCKED OVER.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING:
PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM DAMAGE, REFER TO SECTION 16.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON STORAGE AND HANDLING, REFER TO COMPRESSED GAS
ASSOCIATION (CGA) PAMPHLET P-1, SAFE HANDLING OF COMPRESSED GASES IN
CONTAINERS, AVAILABLE FROM THE CGA.
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
VENTILATION/ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
LOCAL EXHAUST:
USE A LOCAL EXHAUST SYSTEM, IF NECESSARY, TO CONTROL THE CONCENTRATION OF
CARBON DIOXIDE IN THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE.
MECHANICAL (GENERAL):
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, GENERAL EXHAUST VENTILATION MAY BE ACCEPTABLE TO
KEEP CARBON DIOXIDE BELOW THE EXPOSURE LIMIT.
SPECIAL: NONE
OTHER: NONE
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE. AN AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR MUST BE USED IN
CONFINED SPACES. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION MUST CONFORM TO OSHA RULES AS
SPECIFIED IN 29 CFR 1910.134.
| SKIN PROTECTION: WEAR INSULATED NEOPRENE GLOVES FOR CYLINDER HANDLING

| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
|
CARBON DIOXIDE IS AN ASPHYXIANT. IT INITIALLY STIMULATES RESPIRATION AND
THEN CAUSES RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS RESULT IN NARCOSIS.
SYMPTOMS IN HUMANS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
EFFECT CONCENTRATION
BREATHING RATE INCREASES SLIGHTLY. 1%
BREATHING RATE INCREASES TO 50% ABOVE NORMAL LEVEL. 2%
PROLONGED EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE HEADACHE, TIREDNESS.
BREATHING INCREASES TO TWICE NORMAL RATE AND BECOMES 3%
LABORED. WEAK NARCOTIC EFFECT. IMPAIRED HEARING, HEADACHE,
INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE AND PULSE RATE.
BREATHING INCREASES TO APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES NORMAL 4 - 5%
RATE, SYMPTOMS OF INTOXICATION BECOME EVIDENT, AND SLIGHT
CHOKING MAY BE FELT.
CHARACTERISTIC SHARP ODOR NOTICEABLE. VERY LABORED 5 - 10%
BREATHING, HEADACHE, VISUAL IMPAIRMENT, AND RINGING IN THE
EARS. JUDGMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED, FOLLOWED WITHIN MINUTES BY
LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
UNCONSCIOUSNESS OCCURS MORE RAPIDLY ABOVE 10% LEVEL. 50 - 100%
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY EVENTUALLY
RESULT IN DEATH FROM ASPHYXIATION.
