Hazard pictograms
GHS02 GHS04 GHS06 GHS08 2.2 Classified as dangerous according to the criteria of Regulation EC No 1272/2008
Hazard statements
H220 Extremely flammable gas. H230 Chemically unstable gas (may react explosively even in the absence of air) H280 Liquefied gas (may contain gas under pressure) H302 Harmful if swallowed. H315 Causes skin irritation. H319 Causes serious eye irritation. H331 Toxic if inhaled. H335 May cause respiration irritation. H340 May cause genetic defects. H350 May cause cancer. H372 Causes damage to the nervous system and to blood forming organs through prolonged or repeated exposure by inhalation.
Prevention
P202 Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P210 Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. No smoking. P260 Do not breathe gas/vapours. P280 Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
Response
P377 Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. P304 + P340 IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P308 + P313 IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/ attention. P332 + P337 + P313 If skin or eye irritation occurs: Get medical advice/ attention. P333 + P313 If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
Storage
P405 Store locked up. P410 + P403 Protect from sunlight. Store in well-ventilated place
2.3 Other hazards
Carbon dioxide component is under high pressure but is generally non-toxic. Ethylene oxide is liquified gas at room temperature. Ethylene oxide is highly flammable even in this mixture with carbon dioxide. Beside hazard due to compressed gas of carbon dioxide, other hazards are due to ethylene oxide, which is highly flammable and generally toxic.
