SECTION 2: Hazards identification
See Heading 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION FOR HUMANS: Product: EU Classification: Nonflammable Gas. R Phrases: None. S Phrases: 9 Keep container in a well ventilated place. Limit Values for Exposure: ACGIH TLV (US): 1,000 ppm, 6,090 mg/m3 . MAK (DE): 6,100 mg/m3. Short Term Exposure, 60 min., 3 times: 12,200 mg/m3. VME (France): 6,100 mg/m3. Neither this preparation nor the substances contained in it have been listed as carcinogenic by National Toxicology Program, I.A.R.C., or OSHA. AS PART OF GOOD INDUSTRIAL AND PERSONAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PROCEDURE, avoid all unnecessary exposure to the chemical substance and ensure prompt removal from skin, eyes, and clothing. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Acute Exposure: Eye Contact: The liquid form of this material can produce chilling sensations and discomfort. Skin Contact: Evaporation from the skin can produce chilling sensations, frostbite can occur. Inhalation: Vapor is heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen availability for breathing. Breathing very high concentrations of vapor can cause lightheadedness, giddi- ness, shortness of breath, and may lead to narcosis, cardiac irregularities, unconsciousness or even death. Ingestion: Ingestion is not likely to occur since this material is a gas at room temperature. Chronic Overexposure: None known when occupational exposures are below the TLV. MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Cardiac problems and Central Nervous System problems. FOR ENVIRONMENT: Relative to the environment, this material has an ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential. See Heading 12.
