ACGIH TLV:5000PPM/30000STEL;93

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

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT OF CARBON DIOXIDE
    IS TO STIMULATE THE RESPIRATORY CENTER.ITIS ABLE TO CAUSE DILATION
    & CONSTRICTION OF BLOOD VESSELS & VITAL CONSTITUENT OFTHE ACID BASE
    MECHANISM THAT CONTROLS TH E PH OF THE BLOOD.CARBON DIOXIDE ACTS
    ASA STIMULANT & A DEPRESSANT ON THE CENTRAL NERVOUS
    SYSTEM.INCREASES HEART RATE.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN OR MOUTH CONTACT W/SOLID CO2 OR W/GAS OR
    LIQ CO2 DISCHARGED FROM A CONTAINER MAY RESULT IN FROSTBITE,CAUSING
    SKIN LESIONS OR MORE SERIOUS INJURY FROM DEEP FREEZING OF THE
    TISSUES.EYE CONTACT W/SO LID CO2 CONSIDERED AS A CORNEAL
    BURN.FROSTBITE OF THE EYE STRUCTURE MAY ALSO OCCUR.

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

First Aid:MOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING,GIVE ARTIFICIAL
    RESPIRATION,PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH.CALL A PHYSICIAN.TREAT FOR
    FROSTBITE.FROSTBITE SYSMTOMS ARE:FLUSHED SKIN THAT TURNS WHITE OR
    GRAYISH YE LLOW.BLISTERS MAY APPEAR.DO NOT RUB THEAREA.QUICKLY WARM
    BY IMMERSING IN TEPID WATER (102F-105F).CONSULT PHYSCIAN.

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

Fire Fighting Procedures:CARBON DIOXIDE IS NONFLAMMABLE & AS SUCH DOES
    NOT CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.HOWEVER, CYLINDERS THAT ARE EXPOSED TO
    FIRE MAY RUPTURE W/VIOLENT FORCE.

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

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE THE AREA.CARBON DIOXIDE CAN ACT AS A
    SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT BY DISPLACING AIR.PERSONNEL ENTERING THE AREA
    SHOULD WEAR POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:CYLS SHOULD BE STORED & USED IN
    DRY,WELL VENTILATED AREAS AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT.
Other Precautions:THE CONTAINER SPECIFICATIONS OF REQULATORY
    AUTHORITIES REQUIRE, AMONG OTHER THINGS,THAT THE MATERIALS USED FOR
    LIQ CO2 CONTAINERS & PIPING MUST MEET CERTAIN CHEMICAL & PHYSICAL
    REQUIREMENTS.

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

Respiratory Protection:APPROVED RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT MUST BE WORN
    W/AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED SAFE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:RECOMMENDED FOR HANDLING CYLS OR DRY ICE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES SHOULD BE WORN
