Emergency Overview: Krypton is an odorless, colorless, nonflammable, liquefied gas. Krypton can cause central nervous system depression after exposure by inhalation. Symptoms of such overexposure can include drowsiness, fatigue and weakness. Inhalation at high concentrations may cause asphyxiation by displacement of oxygen, light headedness, shortness of breath and dizziness in extreme cases, irregular heartbeats, cardiac arrest and death. Contact with this gas may cause frostbite. Symptoms of frostbite include change in skin color to white or grayish- yellow and may even have a blue color. The pain after such contact with liquid can quickly subside. This gas is not flammable or reactive in normal response situations. The effects associated with different levels of oxygen are as follows: Concentration of Oxygen Symptoms of Exposure 12-16% Breathing and pulse rate increased, muscular coordination slightly disturbed. 10-14% Emotional upset, abnormal fatigue, disturbed respiration. 6-10% Nausea and vomiting, collapse or loss of consciousness. Below 6% Convulsive movements, possible respiratory collapse and death. Tel (732) 544-9899 Fax (732) 544-9894 Toll Free (800) 818-5109 Email: concorde@sf6gas.com www.concordegas.com 1 of 4
