Danger,
Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Emergency Overview Danger, May cause or intensify fire; oxidizer. Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. May cause frostbite. Fatal if inhaled. Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Corrosive to respiratory tract. Very toxic to aquatic life.
Potential health effects
Inhalation Overexposure to concentrations moderately above the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 0.5 ppm irritates the eyes and respiratory tract. Very brief exposure to a concentration of 1000 ppm may be fatal. Acts as asphyxiate at high concentrations. Inhalation of high concentrations (e.g., greater than 15 ppm) causes choking, coughing, burning of the throat and severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract; additionally, pulmonary edema, bronchitis, and pneumonitis may result. Lack of oxygen can kill. Skin May severely irritate the skin, causing ulceration, chemical burns, and scarring. Repeated exposure may produce dermatitis. With prolonged or widespread contact, the skin may absorb potentially harmful amounts of material. Eyes May severely inflame the conjunctiva, injuring the lens, and causing corneal opacity and iris atrophy. Ingestion As similar to inhalation due to gases form.
