2.3 Other hazards
High pressure gas. Can cause rapid suffocation. Extremely flammable. May form explosive mixtures in air. Immediate fire and explosion hazard exists when mixed with air at concentrations exceeding the lower flammability limit (LFL). High concentrations that can cause rapid suffocation are within the flammable range and should not be entered. Avoid breathing gas. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required.
