=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:LOW CONCENTRATIONS (3M TO 5M) CAUSE
    INCREASED RESPIRATION & HEADACHE. 8M TO 15M CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE
    HEADACHE, NAUSEA & VOMITING, LEADING TO UNCONSCIOUSNESS IF NOT
    MOVED TO OPEN AIR OR GIVEN OXYGEN. H IGHER CONCENTRATIONS CAUSE
    RAPID CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO COMA & DEATH. MAINTAIN
    OXYGEN LEVELS ABOVE 19.5%.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS COMPOUND CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS AT
    CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.1% OR GREATER THAT ARE CARCINOGENS OR SUSPECT
    CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:INCREASED RESPIRATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA,
    VOMITING, UNCONSCIOUSNESS. HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS:RAPID CIRCULATORY
    INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO COMA & DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT KNOWN

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

First Aid:PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF
    OVEREXPOSURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE. QUICK REMOVAL FROM THE CONTAMINATED
    AREA IS MOST IMPORTANT. CONSCIOUS PERSONS SHOULD BE ESCORTED FROM
    THE CONTAMIN ATED AREA & INHALE FRESH AIR. UNSCONSCIOUS PERSONS
    SHOULD BE MOVED TO AN UNCONTAMINATED AREA, GIVEN MOUTH TO MOUTH &
    SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN. TREAT AREAS EXPOSED TO LIQUID AS FROSTBITE.

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

Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Lower Limits:NONE
Upper Limits:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SUITABLE FOR THE
    COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS INVOLVED IN THE FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:MFR GAVE NO INFORMATION ON MSDS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MFR GAVE NO INFORMATION ON MSDS.

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

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA. USE
    APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. IF LEAK IS IN USERS EQUIPMENT,
    PURGE BEFORE REPAIR. IF LEAK IS IN CONTAINER OR VALVE, CALL
    CHEMTREC OR YOUR CLOSEST AIR CO LOCATION FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:USE ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS.
    KEEP VALVE PROTECTION CAPS IN PLACE UNLESS PROPERLY SECURED &
    CONNECTED TO PIPING. DO NOT ROLL,SLIDE,DRAG CYLINDERS
Other Precautions:USE A SUITABLE HANDTRUCK WHEN MOVING CYLINDERS. USE
    PRESSURE REDUCING REGULATOR OR PIPING RATED >3000 PSI. DO NOT HEAT
    CYLINDER. USE CHECK VALVE OR TRAP IN DISCHARGE LINE TO PREVENT BACK
    FLOW. PROTECT  CYLINDERS FROM DAMAGE. SEE SUPP DATA.

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

Respiratory Protection:POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE WITH MASK OR SELF-
    CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCY
    USE.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION ABOVE TWA. ENSURE
    ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Protective Gloves:PROTECTIVE GLOVES OF ANY MATERIAL
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES OR GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOES
Work Hygienic Practices:FOLLOW ALL GUIDELINES RECOMMENDED BY THE
    COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION. USE GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PROCEDURES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
STORE IN A COOL WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREAS
    & EMERGENCY EXITS. DO NOT ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO EXCEED 130F. STORE
    UPRIGHT & SECURED FROM FALLING. SEGREGATE FULL & EMPTY CYLIND ERS.
    DRY CARBON DIOXIDE CAN BE HANDLED IN MOST MATERIALS. MOIST CARBON
    DIOXIDE IS CORROSIVE. USE APPROPRIATE ALLOYS.
