Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Other physicochemical hazards
The gas is flammable and forms flammable and explosive mixtures when it comes in contact with air. At ambient temperature methane is lighter than air and can build up in non‐ventilated confined spaces, under canopies or covers without openings. The density of low temperature gas can exceed that of air with the risk of accumulation at ground level and danger of fire at a distance. The sudden rapid expansion of gas under pressure can cause a considerable temperature drop with the danger of cold burns.
Health hazards
Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of gas can cause headache, indisposition and breathing difficulties. The accumulation of gas in closed environments can cause the risk of asphyxia due to lack of oxygen (maintain the oxygen level > 18% vol.).
Environmental hazards
None (see section 7.1.1.3).
Hazard statements
(CLP) H220 Extremely flammable gas H280 Contains gas under pressure: may explode if heated
Precautionary statements
(CLP)
Prevention
P210 Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces – do not smoke. Reaction P377 Leaking gas fire ‐ Do not extinguish unless leak can be stopped safely. P381 Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
Storage
P410 + P403 Protect from sunlight. Store in a well‐ventilated place.
2.3 Other hazards
Asphyxiating gas. The accumulation of gas in a closed environment can cause asphyxia due to lack of oxygen.
