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

LD50 LC50 Mixture:NOT PROVIDED
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: CONTACT WITH CO2 SNOW (DRY ICE)
    CAN PRODUCE CHILLING SENSATIONS, DISCOMFORT & FROSTBITE. SKIN:
    EVAPORATION OF LIQUID FROM SKIN CAN PRODUCE CHILLING SENSATION.
    FROSTBITE CAN OCCUR. AVOID CO2 SNOW  (DRY ICE). INHALATION: VAPOR
    IS HEAVIER THAN AIR & CAN CAUSE SUFFOCATION BY REDUCING OXYGEN
    AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING. BREATHING VERY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF
    VAPOR CAN CAUSE LIGHT HEADEDNESS, GIDDINESS,  SHORTNESS OF BREATH,
    MUSCULAR TREMORS & WEAKNESS, ACROCYANOSIS; ALSO UNCONSCIOUSNESS &
    EVEN DEATH.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: DIZZINESS, IMPAIRED COORDINATION,
    REDUCED MENTAL ACUITY, HEADACHES, TINNITUS, DIFFICULTY BREATHING,
    DROWSINESS, DEPENDING ON LENGTH OF EXPOSURE & CONCENTRATIONS.
    CHRONIC: NONE KNOWN WHEN OCCUPA TIONAL EXPOSURES ARE BELOW THE TLV.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS

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

First Aid:EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT
    LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE HOLDING LIDS OPEN. IF REDNESS, ITCHING OR
    BURNING SENSATION DEVELOPS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. TREAT FOR
    FROSTBITE IF NECE SSARY. SKIN: WASH MATERIAL OFF SKIN WITH COPIOUS
    AMOUNTS OF SOAP & WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF REDNESS,
    ITCHING OR BURNING SENSATION DEVELOPS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. TREAT
    FOR FROSTBITE IF NECES SARY. INHALATION: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH
    AIR. IF COUGH OR OTHER RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS OCCUR, CONSULT DOCTOR.
    IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING
    DIFFICULT GIVE OXYGEN. INGESTION : NOT EXPECTED ROUTE OF ENTRY.

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

Flash Point:NONE
Lower Limits:NOT APPLICAB
Upper Limits:NOT APPLICAB
Extinguishing Media:NONE. THIS IS AN EXTINGUISHING AGENT.
Fire Fighting Procedures:NONE. THIS IS AN EXTINGUISHING AGENT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THOUGH GAS CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
    PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE RELIEF DEVICES, THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM
    HIGH TEMPERATURES OR FIRE TO AVOID RISK OF RUPTURE.

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

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA. VENTILATE TO OUTSIDE
    ATMOSPHERE. COOL OR REMOVE HOT, METAL SURFACES OR SOURCE OF
    NON-EXTINGUISHED FLAMES.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN CLEAN, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
    AREA AWAY FROM HEAT ABOVE 120F. STORE AS COMPRESSED GAS IN DOT
    APPROVED VESSELS. IF CYLINDER OR CARTRIDGE IS NOT ATTACHED TO
    SYSTEM, IT MUST BE SAFETY CAPPED TO PR OTECT AGAINST VIOLENT
    MOVEMENT OR FORCE OF ESCAPING GAS IF VALVE IS ACTUATED OR SEAL IS
    PUNCTURED.
Other Precautions:NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY INCOMPATIBILTY INFORMATION IN
    REACTIVITY SECTION.
