SECTION 2: Hazards identification
MAIN HAZARDS: All cylinders are transportable gas containers. Oxygen is non-flammable, but readily supports combustion. Never permit oil, grease or other readily combustible substance to come into contact with high concentrations of Oxygen. AVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS: Central nervous system toxicity including dizziness, convulsions and loss of consciousness can occur after only 2-3 hours of exposure to pure oxygen at 2 or more atmospheres. Retrosternal soreness, associated with coughing and breathing difficulties, made worse by smoking and exposure to cold air can occur after breathing pure oxygen at atmospheric pressure for several hours. CHEMICAL HAZARDS: Oxygen is non-flammable but strongly supports combustion (including some materials which do not normally burn in air). Since dry oxygen is non-corrosive, most materials of construction are suitable. Avoid all flammable materials. VAPOUR HAZARDS: Pure oxygen is a local irritant to mucous membranes and, with extended continued exposure, can be destructive to lung tissue.
