=====================  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:CONCENTRATION IN EXCESS OF 1.5% CARBON
    DIOXIDE MAY CAUSE DEATH. AT HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS, DISPLACES OXYGEN
    IN AIR BELOW LEVELS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT LIFE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:AT CONCENTRATIONS >1.5%:
    HYPERVENTILATION/HEADACHES/VISUAL DISTURBANCES/TREMOR/LOSS OF
    CONSCIOUSNESS/DEATH. AT 3-6%: HEADAHCES/DYSPNEA/PERSPIRATION. AT
    6-10%: HEADAHCES/DYSPNEA/PERSPIRATION/TREMORS/VI SUAL DISTURBANCES.
    >10%: UNCONSCIOUSNESS W/OUT WARNING. CRYOGENIC BURNS.

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

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. ASSISTED RESPIRANT &
    SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN SHOULD BE GIVEN IF NOT BREATHING. FROZEN
    TISSUES SHOULD BE FLOODED/SOAKED W/TEPID WATER. DON'T USE HOT
    WATER. OBTAIN MEDICAL A TTENTION IN ALL CASES.

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

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE INDOOR AREAS WELL TO AVOID HAZARDOUS
    CO2 CONCENTRATIONS. VENTILATE AREA WELL & AVOID CONTACT W/COLD
    VAPORS/DRY ICE. CO2 IS HEAVEY GAS & WILL REMAIN IN LOW SPOTS W/OUT
    ASSISTED VENTILATION.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:COMPRESS GAS CYLINDERS CONTAIN
    GASEOUS/LIQUID CO2 AT EXTREMELY HIGH PRESSURE/SHOULD HANDLED
    W/CARE. KEEP CYLINDERS AWAY FROM HEAT.
Other Precautions:PREVENT CONTACT OF CO2 ON SKIN. USE PRESSURE-REDUCING
    REGULATOR WHEN CONNECTING TO LOWER PRESSURE PIPING SYSTEMS. SECURE
    CYLINDERS WHEN IN USE. KEEP FROM COMBUSTIBLES. AVOID EXPOSURE TO
    AREAS WHERE SA LT/OTHER CORROSIVE MATERIALS ARE PRESENT

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

Respiratory Protection:SCBA IN OXYGEN DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES/WHERE CO2
    >1.5%. DON'T USE AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATORS.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST: AT POINT SOURCES OF CO2 VAPORS. MECHANICAL
    (GENERAL): LOW LYING AREA ARE NOT NATURALLY VENTILATED.
Protective Gloves:IMPERMEABLE/LOOSE FITTING (LEATHER)
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES
Supplemental Safety and Health
CO2 IS STORED IN CONTAINERS UNDER ITS OWN VAPOR PRESSURE. IF THE
    PRESSURE IS SUDDENLY RELIEVED, THE LIQUID RAPIDLY COOLS AS IT
    EVAPORATES & SUBLIMES, FORMING DRY ICE AT -109.3F.

====================  Disposal Considerations  ====================

Waste Disposal Methods:DON'T ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF RESIDUAL CO2 IN
    COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS. RETURN CYLINDERS TO AIR PRODUCTS
    W/RESIDUAL PRESSURE, CYLINDER VALVE TIGHTLY CLOSED/THE VALVE CAP IN
    PLACE. DISPOSE OF IAW/LOCAL/S TAT/FEDERAL REGULATIONS. NONFLAMMABLE
    GAS. UN1013.
