Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INGEST: A HIGHLY UNLIKELY RTE
    OF EXPOS. FROSTBT OF LIPS & MOUTH MAY RSLT FROM CONT W/LIQ. SKIN
    ABSORPTION: NO EVIDENCE OF ADVERSE EFTS FROM AVAIL INFO. INHAL:
    ASPHY. MOD CONCS MAY CAUSE HDCH, D ROW, DIZZ, STINGING OF NOSE &
    THROAT, EXCITATION, RAPID BRTHG, EXCESS SALIVATION, VOMIT, & UNCON.
    (EFFECTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: LACK OF OXYGEN CAN CAUSE DEATH. SKIN
    CONT: NO HARMFUL EFT EXPECTED FROM VAP. LIQ MAY CAUSE FROSTBT.
    EYES: VAP MAY CAUSE STINGING SENSATION. LIQ MAY CAUSE FROSTBT.
    CHRONIC: NO EVIDENCE OF ADV ERSE EFTS FROM AVAIL INFO. DMG TO
    RETINAL GANGLION CELLS & CNS MAY OCCUR.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:A KNOWLEDGE OF THE AVAILABLE
    TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION AND OF THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
    OF THE MATERIAL SUGGEST THAT OVEREXPOSURE IS UNLIKELY TO AGGRAVATE
    EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INGEST: CALL MD IMMED . SKIN: FOR EXPOS TO LIQ, IMMED WARM
    FROSTBT AREA W/WARM WATER (NOT TO EXCEED 105F). IN CASE OF MASSIVE
    EXPOS, REMOVE CLTHG WHILE SHOWERING W/WARM WATER. CALL MD. INHAL:
    RE MOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE ARTF RESP IF NOT BRTHG. GIVE OXYGEN IF
    BRTHG IS DFCLT. CALL MD. EYES: IN CASE OF SPLASH CONTAM, IMMED
    FLUSH EYES W/WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. SEE MD, PREF AN (SUP DAT)

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE CANNOT CATCH FIRE. USE MEDIA
    APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP .
    EVACUATE ALL PERS FROM DANGER AREA. IMMED DELUGE CONTRS W/WATER
    SPRAY FROM MAX DIST UNTIL COOL, THEN (SUP DAT)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:GAS CANNOT CATCH FIRE. CONTR MAY RUPTURE
    DUE TO HEAT OF FIRE. NO PART OF A CONTR SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO TEMP
    HIGHER THAN 52C (125F). MOST CONTRS ARE (SUP DAT)

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM DANGER AREA. USE
    NIOSH APPROVED SCBA WHERE NEEDED. SHUT OFF LEAK IF WITHOUT RISK.
    VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR MOVE LEAKING CONTAINER TO WELL-VENTILATED
    AREA. TEST AREA, ESPEC IALLY CONFINED AREAS, FOR SUFFICIENT (ING 2)
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:HIGH PRESS LIQUIFIED GAS. USE PIPING &
    EQUIP ADEQ DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND PRESS TO BE ENCOUNTERED. CAN CAUSE
    RAPID SUFFOCATION DUE TO OXYGEN DEFICIENCY.
Other Precautions:STORE & USE W/ADEQ VENT. CLOSE VALVE WHEN NOT IN USE
    & WHEN EMPTY. CARBON DIOXIDE, BEING HVR/AIR, TENDS TO ACCUM NEAR
    FLOOR OF ENCLSD SPACE DISPLACING AIR UPWARD & CREATES AN
    OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATM. VEN T SPACE BEFORE ENTRY. (ING 3)

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============
