SECTION 2: Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Carbon dioxide exposure can cause nausea and respiratory problems. High concentrations may cause vasodilatation leading to circulatory collapse.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Skin Contact Skin Absorption Eye Contact Inhalation Ingestion No Yes No
Potential health effects
Exposure Limits Irritant Sensitization Reproductive Hazard Mutagen Yes No Carcinogenicity --NTP No IARC No OSHA No EYE EFFECTS: N/A 1 SKIN EFFECTS: N/A INGESTION EFFECTS: Ingestion unlikely. Gas at room temperature. INHALATION EFFECTS: Carbon dioxide is the most powerful cerebral vasodilator known. Inhaling large concentrations causes rapid circulatory insufficiency leading to coma and death. Asphyxiation is likely to occur before the effects of carbon dioxide overexposure. Chronic, harmful effects are not known form repeated inhalation of low concentrations. Low concentrations of carbon dioxide cause increased respiration and headache. Effects of oxygen deficiency resulting form simple asphyxiation may include: rapid breathing, diminished mental alertness, impaired muscular coordination, faulty judgement, depression of all sensations, emotional instability, and fatigue. As asphyxiation progresses, nausea, vomiting, prostration, and loss of consciousness may result, eventually leading to convulsions, coma, and death.
