    - Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable gas that can cause rapid suffocation in high concentrations. Exposure can lead to symptoms like dizziness, increased heart rate, and loss of consciousness. - Safety precautions include using self-contained breathing apparatus in oxygen-deficient atmospheres and protective equipment like gloves and safety glasses when handling pressurized gas cylinders. - Carbon dioxide is stable under normal conditions but can react violently if exposed to intense heat or flame. It is not toxic to aquatic life but no long-term ecological data is available for this product.

    : Concentrations of 10% CO2 or more can produce


    unconsciousness or death. In high concentrations may cause
    asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of
    mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware of
    asphyxiation. Asphyxiation may bring about
    unconsciousness without warning and so rapidly that victim
    may be unable to protect themselves.
    : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite.
    : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite.
    : Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
    : Not applicable.
    : None.
    : Shivering fit. Sweating. Blurred vision. Headache. Increased
    pulse rate. Shortness of breath. Rapid respiration. Exposure
    to oxygen deficient atmosphere may cause the following
    symptoms: Dizziness. Salivation. Nausea. Vomiting. Loss of
    mobility/consciousness.

    Ingestion
    Inhalation

    1/4

    : Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self


    contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and
    rested. Call a doctor. Apply artificial respiration if breathing
    stopped.
    : In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with
    plenty of water and seek medical advice. Keep eye wide
    open while rinsing. Seek medical advice.
    : Wash frost-bitten areas with plenty of water. Do not remove
    clothing. Cover wound with sterile dressing.
    : Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
    : Move to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is labored, give
    assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be
    indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should
    begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. In case of
    shortness of breath, give oxygen.

    MSDS Number: 018A
    contact the supplier. Do not remove or deface labels provided by the supplier for the
    identification of the cylinder contents. When moving cylinders, even for short distances,
    use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Do not remove valve
    guards. Before connecting the container, check the complete gas system for suitability,
    particularly for pressure rating and materials. Before connecting the container for use,
    ensure that back feed from the system into the container is prevented. Ensure the
    complete gas system is compatible for pressure rating and materials of construction.
    Ensure the complete gas system has been checked for leaks before use. Employ suitable
    pressure regulating devices on all containers when the gas is being emitted to systems
    with lower pressure rating than that of the container.
    Open valve slowly. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve discontinue
    use and contact supplier. Close container valve after each use and when empty, even if
    still connected to equipment. Never attempt to repair or modify container valves or safety
    relief devices. Damaged valves should be reported immediately to the supplier. Close
    valve after each use and when empty. Do not subject containers to abnormal mechanical
    shocks which may cause damage to their valve or safety devices. Never attempt to lift a
    cylinder by its valve guard. Always use backflow protective device in piping. Never use
    direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container. Containers
    should not be subjected to temperatures above 50C. Prolonged periods of cold
    temperature below -30C should be avoided. Never attempt to increase liquid withdrawal
    rate by pressurizing the container without first checking with the supplier. Never permit
    liquefied gas to become trapped in parts of the system as this may result in hydraulic
    rupture.
    Storage

    5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
    Suitable extinguishing media : All known extinguishing media can be used.
    Specific hazards
    : Upon exposure to intense heat or flame, cylinder will vent
    rapidly and or rupture violently. Product is nonflammable
    and does not support combustion. Move away from
    container and cool with water from a protected position. If
    possible, stop flow of product. Keep adjacent cylinders
    cool by spraying with large amounts of water until the fire
    burns itself out.
    Special protective equipment : Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if
    for fire-fighters
    necessary.

    6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


    Personal precautions

    Environmental precautions

    Methods for cleaning up


    Additional advice

    : Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Wear self-contained


    breathing apparatus when entering area unless
    atmosphere is proved to be safe. Ventilate the area.
    Monitor oxygen level.
    : Should not be released into the environment. Do not
    discharge into any place where its accumulation could be
    dangerous. Prevent further leakage or spillage. Prevent
    from entering sewers, basements and workpits, or any
    place where its accumulation can be dangerous.
    : Ventilate the area.
    : If possible, stop flow of product. Increase ventilation to
    the release area and monitor oxygen level. If leak is from
    cylinder or cylinder valve, call the Air Products
    emergency telephone number. If the leak is in the user's
    system, close the cylinder valve, safely vent the pressure,
    and purge with an inert gas before attempting repairs.

    Full containers should be stored so that oldest stock is used first. Containers should be
    stored in the vertical position and properly secured to prevent toppling. The container
    valves should be tightly closed and where appropriate valve outlets should be capped or
    plugged. Container valve guards or caps should be in place.
    Observe all regulations and local requirements regarding storage of containers. Stored
    containers should be periodically checked for general condition and leakage. Protect
    containers stored in the open against rusting and extremes of weather. Containers should
    not be stored in conditions likely to encourage corrosion.
    Containers should be stored in a purpose built compound which should be well ventilated,
    preferably in the open air. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.
    Store containers in location free from fire risk and away from sources of heat and ignition.
    Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Do not allow storage temperature to
    exceed 50C. Return empty containers in a timely manner.
    Technical measures/Precautions

    7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


    Handling

    Containers should be segregated in the storage area according to the various categories
    (e.g. flammable, toxic, etc.) and in accordance with local regulations. Keep away from
    combustible material.

    Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle compressed gases.
    Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. Do not allow
    storage area temperature to exceed 50C. Before using the product, determine its identity
    by reading the label. Know and understand the properties and hazards of the product
    before use. When doubt exists as to the correct handling procedure for a particular gas,
