Emergency Overview Color: Clear - colourless Physical state: gas Form: Liquefied gas Odor: Slightly ether-like CAUTION! HIGH PRESSURE GAS. LIQUID AND GAS UNDER PRESSURE. OVERHEATING OR OVERPRESSURIZING MAY CAUSE GAS RELEASE OR VIOLENT CYLINDER BURSTING. MAY DECOMPOSE ON CONTACT WITH FLAMES OR EXTREMELY HOT METAL SURFACES TO PRODUCE TOXIC AND CORROSIVE PRODUCTS. VAPOR REDUCES OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING AND IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE. MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. MAY CAUSE EFFECTS ON: HEART
Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation and skin contact. Signs and symptoms of acute exposure: Liquid Rapid evaporation of the liquid may cause frostbite. Vapor Vapor is heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing. Central nervous system effects: headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of consciousness. Stress induced heart effects: irregular heart beat, rapid heart beat. (severity of effects depends on extent of exposure) . Skin: Slightly irritating. (based on components) Inhalation: Practically nontoxic. (based on components) Eyes: Slightly irritating. (based on components)
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
overexposure Heart disease or compromised heart function.
