    ENVIRONMENTAL DATA

    NOTES
    The applying occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure.
    The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical
    effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.
    Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
    Do NOT spray water on leaking cylinder (to prevent corrosion of cylinder).
    Turn leaking cylinder with the leak up to prevent escape of gas in liquid state.
    Other UN numbers: 2186 (refridgerated liquid) hazard class: 2.3; subsidiary hazard: 8; 1789 (hydrochloric acid) hazard class: 8, pack
    group II or III. Aqueous solutions may contain up to 38% hydrogen chloride.
