PROPANE- LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

29 CFR 1910.1200) Physical state Gas. Appearance Colorless liquefied gas. Emergency overview DANGER Extremely flammable gas. High pressure gas. Gas reduces oxygen available for breathing. Contact with liquefied gas might cause frostbites, in some cases with tissue damage. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst or explode. Static accumulating flammable materials can become electrostatically charged even in bonded and grounded equipment. Sparks may ignite material and vapor may cause flash fire (or explosion). OSHA regulatory status This product is hazardous according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation. Eyes. Skin. Eyes Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite ("cold burn"). Skin Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite ("cold burn"). Inhalation Suffocation (asphyxiant) hazard - if allowed to accumulate to concentrations that reduce oxygen below safe breathing levels. Nasal and respiratory tract irritation, central nervous system effects including excitation, euphoria, contracted eye pupils, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, fatigue, nausea, headache, loss of reflexes, tremors, convulsions, seizures, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest and sudden death could occur as a result of long term and/or high concentration exposure to vapors. May also cause anemia and irregular heart rhythm. Ingestion This material is a gas under normal atmospheric conditions and ingestion is unlikely. Target organs Respiratory tract. Eyes. Central nervous system.

Potential chronic health

May cause central nervous system effects. Components have been shown to be weak cardiac sensitizers which can result in cardiac arrhythmia and ventricular fibrillation.

Environmental effects

Not expected to be harmful to aquatic organisms
