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

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CARBON DIOXIDE IS AN ASPHIXIANT.  AS A
    LIQUID OR SOLID, ITS HIGH RATE OF EVAPORATION CREATES AN INTENSE
    COOLING OF THE BODY TISSUE CONTACTED WHICH RESULTS IN FROSTBITE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:PRODUCT IS NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY
    IARC, NTP, OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:CONTACT: FROSTBITE AND FREEZE BURNS.  INHALED:
    HEADACHE, DIZZINESS SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND OTHER SYMPTOMS OF
    OXYGEN STARVATION.	HIGH CONCENTRATIONS PRODUCE A SLIGHT ACID TASTE
    ANDMAY PARALYSE THE BRE ATHING CONTROL CENTER.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OVEREXPOSURE MAY AGGRAVATE SOME
    PULMONARY CONDITIONS.

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

First Aid:CONTACT: FROZEN TISSUE SHOULDBE FLOODED WITH TEPID WATER. 
    GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IF ANY SYMPTOMS OF FROSTBITE OR FREEZING
    APPEAR.  INHALED: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE.  RESTORE BREATHING.  BE
    CAUTIOUS ENTE RING CLOSED AREAS IN A RESCUE EFFORT IFWITHOUT A
    SUPPLIED-AIR BREATHING APPARATUS.

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

Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE IS AN EXTINGUISHING AGENT FOR CLASS
    B AND C FIRES.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
    FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.

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

Spill Release Procedures:PLACE LEAKING CYLINDERS OUTSIDE OR WHERE LEAK
    IS EXHAUSTED BY LOCAL EXHAUST.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED
    AREA. KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. PROTECT
    CONTAINERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
Other Precautions:USE A SAFETY LINE, A STAND-BY WORKER AND A SUPPLIED
    AIR RESPIRATOR WHEN ENTERING AREAS OF SUSPECTED OR KNOWN HIGH
    CONCENTRATION.

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

Respiratory Protection:RESPIRATOR WILL NOT NORMALLY BE NECESSARY.  USE
    NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR IF EXPOSURE IS ABOVE
    THE TLV/PEL. SEE 29 CFR 1910.134 FOR REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO
    RESPIRATOR USE.
Ventilation:GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION IS NORMALLY ADEQUATE. USE LOCAL
    EXHAUST IF NECESSARY TO CONTROL EXPOSURE BELOW PEL/TLV.
Protective Gloves:THERMAL PROTECTION IF CONTACT POSSIBLE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES (NO CONTACTS!)
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
    INDUSTRIAL-TYPE WORK CLOTHING AND APRON AS REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:USE GOOD CHEMICAL HYGIENE PRACTICE. AVOID
    CONTACT WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
