Principle Routes of Exposure

Target Organs Inhalation Cardiovasuclar system, lungs, blood, central nervous system. Inhalation This product contains up to 0.999% carbon monoxide. Inhalation of relative high concentrations of this gas may cause symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure. Carbon monoxide is a chemical asphyxiant. Inhaled carbon monoxide binds with blood hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin. Carboxyhemoglobin cannot take part in normal oxygen transport, greatly reducing the blood's ability to transport oxygen. Depending on concentration of carbon monoxide and duration of exposure, symptoms may include headache, dizziness, heart palpitations, weakness, confusion, nausea, and even convulsions, eventual unconsciousness and death. Lack of oxygen from carbon monoxide over exposure may produce immediate as well as delayed neurological effects. Carbon monoxide may also adversely affect fetal development. Skin Contact Contact with rapidly expanding gas near the point of release may cause frostbite with redness, skin color change to gray or white, and blistering. Eye Contact Contact with rapidly expanding gas near the point of release may cause frostbite. Ingestion None known. Ingestion is unlikely as product is a gas at room temperature.
