Page No.: 2/6 4.3 Potential Health effects: 4.3.1 Inhalation: Short term exposure: Sensitivity to light, changes in blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, disorientation, sleep disturbances, emotional disturbances, tingling sensation, tremors, muscle cramps, loss of coordination, visual disturbances, suffocation, convulsions, unconsciousness, coma Long term exposure: Difficulty breathing, disorientation, blood disorders 4.3.2 Skin contact: Short term exposure - Blisters, frostbite Long term exposure - No information on significant adverse effects 4.3.3 Eye contact: Short term exposure - Irritation, blurred vision Long term exposure - No information on significant adverse effects 4.3.4 Ingestion: Short term exposure - Ingestion of a gas is unlikely Long term exposure - Ingestion of a gas is unlikely 5. First Aid measures Inhalation: If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. Skin contact: wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. Eye contact: flush eyes with plenty of water. Ingestion: if a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention. Note to physician: for inhalation, consider oxygen. 6. Fire fighting measures
Page No.: 3/6 6.1 Fire and explosion hazards: negligible fire hazard. Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to heat. 6.2 Extinguishing media: carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical 6.3 Large fires: use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. 6.4 Fire fighting: move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Do not get water directly on material. Reduce vapors with water spray. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Consider downwind evacuation if material is leaking. 7. Accidental release measures 7.1 Occupational release: Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. 8. Handling and storage 8.1 Handling Use safe work practices to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene. Prohibit eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas. Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. 8.2 Storage Do not store near sources of ignition or incompatible materials. Cylinders should be stored below 45 o C in a secure area and upright to prevented cylinders from falling. Cylinders should also be stored in a dry, well ventilated area constructed of noncombustible material with firm level floor (preferably concrete), away from areas of heavy traffic and emergency exits. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION 9. Exposure controls / personal protection 9.1 Ventilation Maintain adequate ventilation. Confined areas (e.g. tanks) should be adequately ventilated or gas tested. Provide local exhaust ventilation system. 9.2 PPE Wear safety glasses, safety boots and leather gloves. When using large quantities or where heavy contamination is likely, wear coveralls. Where an inhalation risk exists, wear Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) or an Air-line respirator. Clothing
