Oxygen

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Physical State Gas [Compressed gas] Emergency Overview DANGER! GAS: OXIDIZER CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL MAY CAUSE FIRE. CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. Do not puncture or incinerate container. May cause severe frostbite. LIQUID: OXIDIZER CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL MAY CAUSE FIRE. OXYGEN | 2 (Cont.) Emergency Overview Extremely cold liquid and gas under pressure. May cause severe frostbite. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Store in tightly-closed container. Avoid contact with combustible materials. Contact with rapidly expanding gases or liquids can cause frostbite.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation

Potential Acute Health Effects

Eyes May cause eye irritation. Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause burns or frostbite. Contact with cryogenic liquid can cause frostbite and cryogenic burns. Skin May cause skin irritation. Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause burns or frostbite. Contact with cryogenic liquid can cause frostbite and cryogenic burns. Inhalation Respiratory system irritation after overexposure to high oxygen concentrations. Ingestion Ingestion is not a normal route of exposure for gases. Contact with cryogenic liquid can cause frostbite and cryogenic burns.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Acute or chronic respiratory conditions may be aggravated by overexposure to this gas. Overexposure See toxicological information (Section 11)
