Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
OSHA Emergency Overview WARNING! Extremely cold, oxidizing liquid and gas under pressure. Vigorously accelerates combustion. Combustibles in contact with liquid may explode on ignition or impact. May cause dizziness and drowsiness. Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing may be required by rescue workers. Can cause sever frostbite.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation. Swallowing. Skin contact. Eye contact. EFFECTS OF A SINGLE (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE: INHALATION: Breathing 80% or more oxygen at atmospheric pressure for more than a few hours may cause nasal stuffiness, cough, sore throat, chest pain and breathing difficulty. Breathing oxygen at higher pressure increases the likelihood of adverse effects within a shorter time period. Breathing pure oxygen under pressure may cause lung damage and also central nervous system effects resulting in dizziness, poor coordination, tingling sensation, visual and hearing disturbances, muscular twitching, unconsciousness and convulsions. Breathing of oxygen under pressure may cause prolongation of adaptation to darkness and reduced peripheral vision. SKIN CONTACT: No harm expected from vapour. Liquid may cause frostbite. SKIN ABSORPTION: No harm expected from vapour. Liquid may cause severe frostbite. SWALLOWING: This product is a gas at normal temperature and pressure. An unlikely route of exposure, but frostbite of the lips and mouth may result from contact with the liquid. EYE CONTACT: No harm expected from vapour. Liquid may cause frostbite. EFFECTS OF REPEATED (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE: No evidence of adverse effects from available information. OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: See "Notes to Physician", in the "First Aid" section.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
OVEREXPOSURE See "Notes to Physician", in the "First Aid" section. SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATION: None currently known. CARCINOGENICITY: Not listed as carcinogen by OSHA, NTP or IARC.
