2.3 Other hazards

Creates an explosive mixture with air at ambient temperature. It may accumulate in the pit areas where ventilation is insufficient in case of gas leakage due to the fact that it is heavier than air. Intense heating of the LPG tank (bottle) by being exposed to fire and flames may cause the tank (bottle) to explode and the released LPG may inflate and explode by taking oxygen from the environment. The liquid leak becomes a gas leak by expanding 248 times. Eyes: If the gas under pressure evaporates and contacts with the eyes, there may be cold burns and also serious damages on eyes. Skin: The gas under pressure may evaporate and cause cold burns in case it contacts with the skin. Inhalation: It is asphyxiant. Because it is heavier than air at high concentrations, it can cause asphyxia due to the oxygen insufficiency by substituting the oxygen in the environment. At high concentrations; mild headache, dizziness, drowsiness, etc. on the central nervous system may occur or it may cause a serious narcotic effect as a result of the reduction in the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere. Symptoms of oxygen deficiency is deep and frequent breathing, dizziness, headache, nausea or loss of consciousness.
