SECTION 2: Hazards identification
OSHA EMERGENCY OVERVIEW CAUTION! High-pressure gas. Can cause rapid suffocation. May cause dizziness and drowsiness. Self-contained breathing apparatus may be required by rescue workers. Under ambient conditions, this is a colorless gas with no odor.
Potential health effects
Effects of a Single (Acute) Overexposure Inhalation. Asphyxiant. Effects are due to lack of oxygen. Mixtures containing carbon dioxide are also physiologically active, affecting circulation and breathing. Moderate concentrations may cause headache, drowsiness, dizziness, stinging of the nose and throat, excitation, rapid breathing and heart rate, excess salivation, vomiting, and unconsciousness. Lack of oxygen can kill. Skin Contact. No harm expected. Swallowing. An unlikely route of exposure. HeliStar A1025 is a gas at normal temperature and pressure. Eye Contact. No harm expected. Effects of Repeated (Chronic) Overexposure. No harm expected. Copyright © 1980, 1985, 1988, 1992, 1993, 1997, 1999, 2004, 2009, Praxair Page 1 of 11 Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
