SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Immediately remove person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial
Inhalation :
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen by qualified medical personnel only.
When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.
Flush affected skin with gently flowing lukewarm water for at least 20 minutes. Treat
Skin contact :
for frostbite if necessary by gently warming affected area. Seek immediate medical
attention/advice.

Treat symptomatically.
Notes For Physician :
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire hazards/conditions of flammability
: Flammable gas. Closed containers are contained under pressure and may explode if
exposed to excess heat for a prolonged period of time. Vapours are heavier than air
and collect in confined and low-lying areas. Vapour can travel considerable distance
and flashback to a source of ignition.

: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide and water fog.
Suitable extinguishing media
Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment
: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self contained breathing
apparatus with full face piece operated in positive pressure mode. Move containers
from fire area if safe to do so. If feasible, stop the flow of gas. Do not completely
extinguish flame unless gas flow is shut off. Water spray may be useful in cooling
equipment exposed to heat and flame.
Hazardous combustion products

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Ensure clean-up is conducted by
Personal precautions :
trained personnel only. All persons dealing with clean-up should wear the appropriate
protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus. Refer to Section 8,
EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION, for additional information
on acceptable personal protective equipment.
Ensure spilled product does not enter drains, sewers, waterways, or confined spaces.
Environmental precautions :
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of release. Turn off gas flow if you can
Spill response/cleanup :
do so without risk. Isolate for ?mile in all directions if tank or tank car is involved in
fire. Notify the appropriate authorities as required. North American Emergency
Response Guide # 115.
None known.
Prohibited materials :
Special spill response procedures
If a spill/release in excess of the EPA reportable quantity is made into the
