Classified (HNOC)
Toxic fumes, gases or vapours may evolve on burning. Severe, short-term exposures may cause long-lasting respiratory effects, e.g. Reactive Airways Dysfunction (RADS), due to the material's severe irritating properties. Contact with liquefied gas might cause frostbites, in some cases with tissue damage. Direct contact with liquefied gas may cause frostbite and corrosive injury to the eyes.
Additional information
Keep away from heat. Make sure valves on gas cylinders are fully opened when gas is used. Open cylinder valve slowly to prevent rapid decompression and damage to valve seat. Use smallest possible amounts in designated areas with adequate ventilation. Shut flow off at cylinder valve and not just at the regulator after use. Use a suitable hand truck to move cylinders; do not drag, roll, slide, or drop. Secure cylinders in an upright position at all times, close all valves when not in use. Establish written emergency plan and special training where chlorine is used. Regularly inspect and test piping and containers used for ������ dioxide service.
