                                NON-FLAMMABLE GAS MIXTURE 50009



Health Hazards Acute & Chronic: DUE TO SMALL SIZE OF CONTAINER OVER-EXPOSURE IS

NOT ANTICIPATED UNDER ROUTINE CIRCUMSTANCES. INHALATION OVER-EXPOSURES

TO ATMOSPHERE CONTAINING MORE THAN THE TLV OF CARBON MONOXIDE CAN

RESULT IN SERIO US HEALTH CONSEQUENCES. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A CHEMICAL

ASPHYXIANT, PRODUCING A TOXIC ACTION BY COMBINING WITH THE HEMOGLOBIN

OF THE BLOOD AND REPLACING THE AVAILABLE OXYGEN. THROUGH THIS

REPLACEMENT TH E BODY IS DEPRIVED OF THE REQUIRED OXYGEN AND

ASPHYXIATION OCCURS. TARGET ORGANS: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, BLOOD SYSTEM,

CARDIOVASCULAR, REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.



Signs & Symptoms of Overexposure:

MOST SIGNIFICANT ROUTE IS INHALATION. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE

POISONING CAN DEVELOP GRADUALLY, OR CAN ARISE SUDDENLY, DEPENDING ON

THE CONCENTRATION AND DURATION OR EXPOSURE. LIPS AND FINGERNAILS WILL

TURN BRIGHT RED, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT SIGN OF CARBON MONOXIDE OVER-

EXPOSURE. OTHER SYMPTOMS INCLUDE RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY, HEADACHES,

SHORTNESS OF BREATH, WHEEZING, BLURRED VISION, MEMORY LO SS, DIZZINESS,

INDIGESTION, NAUSEA, UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH.



Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:

PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS, SOME DISEASE OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR

SYSTEM (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE AND ANGINA PECTORIS)



LD50 LC50 Mixture: N/P



Route of Entry Indicators:

      Inhalation: YES

      Skin: NO

      Ingestion: NO



Carcenogenicity Indicators

      NTP: NO

      IARC: NO

      OSHA: NO



Carcinogenicity Explanation: N/P

 NON-FLAMMABLE GAS MIXTURE 50009



RESCUERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RETREIVE VICTIMS OF EXPOSURE WITHOUT

ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. AT A MINIMUM, SELF-CONTAINED

BREATHING APPARATUS MUST BE WORN. IF ANY ADVERSE SYMPTOMS DEVEL OP

AFTER OVER-EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT, REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR AS

QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. ONLY TRAINED PERSONNEL SHOULD ADMINISTER

SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND/OR CPR IF NECESSARY. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTIO N

IN ALL CASES. TO PHYSICIANS: HYPERBARIC OXYGEN IS MOST EFFICIENT ANTIDOTE

TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, OPTIMUM RANGE 2-2.5 ATM. A SPECIAL MASK OR

COMPRESSION CHAMBER REQUIRED. AVOID STIMULANT DRU GS



                                   Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

                                NON-FLAMMABLE GAS MIXTURE 50009



Fire Fighting Procedures:

STRUCTURAL FIREFIGHTERS MUST WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS

Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazard:

THIS GAS MIXTURE IS NOT FLAMMABLE; HOWEVER CONTAINERS, WHEN INVOLVED IN

FIRE MAY RUPTURE OR BURST IN THE HEAT OF THE FIRE

Extinguishing Media:

NON-FLAMMABLE GAS MIXTURE. SEE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.

                                NON-FLAMMABLE GAS MIXTURE 50009



Spill Release Procedures:

LOW RISK DUE TO SMALL SIZE BUT IN THE EVENT OF A RELEASE WHERE ATMOSPHERE

IS UNKNOWN & OTHER CHEMICALS ARE INVOLVED, EVACUATE IMMEDIATE AREA.

ONLY TRAINED PERSONNEL SHOULD RESPOND WITH PROPER EQUIPMEN T. FOR

EMERGENCY DISPOSAL, SECURE THE CYLINDER AND SLOWLY DISCHARGE THE GAS TO

THE ATMOSPHERE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. MONITER AREA FOR CARBON

MONOXIDE LEVEL BEFORE ALLOWING PERSONNEL IN AREA

Repiratory Protection:

NONE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. USE SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IF

CARBON MONOXIDE LEVEL EXCEEDS TLV AND OXYGEN LEVELS ARE BELOW 19.5% OR

UNKNOWN DURING EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO A RELEASE OF THIS P RODUCT.

Ventilation:

NONE UNDER NORMAL USE. USE IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. IF IN POORLY

VENTILATED AREA INSTALL AUTOMATIC MONITOR EQUIPMENT TO DETECT LEVEL OF

CARBON MONXIDE & OXYGEN

Protective Gloves:

NONE UNDER NORMAL USE

Eye Protection: SAFETY GLASSES

Other Protective Equipment: N/P

Work Hygenic Practices: BE AWARE OF ANY SIGNS OF DIZZINESS OR FATIGUE; EXPOSURE

TO FATAL CONCENTRATIONS OF THIS PRODUCT COULD OCCUR WITHOUT ANY

SIGNIFICANT WARNING SYMPTOMS DUE TO OXYGEN DEFICIENCY. DO NOT ATTEMPT

TO REPAIR.
