SECTION 2: Hazards identification
OSHA EMERGENCY OVERVIEW DANGER! Corrosive liquid and gas under pressure. Harmful if inhaled. Can cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract burns. May cause kidney and respiratory system damage. Can catch fire. Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing must be worn by rescue workers. Under ambient conditions, this is a colorless gas with a pungent, irritating odor.
Potential health effects
Effects of a Single (Acute) Overexposure Inhalation. Exposure to concentrations moderately above the TLV may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Higher concentrations may cause breathing difficulty; chest pain; bronchospasm; pink, frothy sputum; and pulmonary edema (fluid on the lungs). Skin Contact. Liquid may cause moderate-to-severe redness, swelling, and ulceration of the skin, depending on the degree and duration of contact. At high concentrations, gas may cause chemical burns. Prolonged or widespread skin contact may result in the absorption of potentially harmful amounts of material.

Swallowing. An unlikely route of exposure; this product is a gas at normal temperature and pressure. But exposure, should it occur, may cause chemical burns of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach. Eye Contact. Liquid may cause pain, severe redness, and swelling of the conjunctiva, damage to the iris, corneal opacification, glaucoma, and cataracts. Gas may cause pain and excessive tearing with acute corneal injury at high concentrations. Effects of Repeated (Chronic) Overexposure. Chronic exposure may cause chemical pneumonitis and kidney damage. Other Effects of Overexposure. Asphyxiant. Lack of oxygen can kill. Contact with the liquid may cause frostbite.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Overexposure. Inhalation may aggravate asthma and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary disease. Skin irritation may aggravate an existing dermatitis.
Environmental effects
None expected. For further information, see section 12, Ecological Information.
