Other hazards which do not result in classification

Vapours are heavier than air. Vapours may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger.High gas concentrations will displace available air; unconsciousness and death may occur suddenly from lack of oxygen.Exposure to rapidly expanding gases may cause frost burns to eyes and/or skin.This material has the potential to be a static accumulator.Even with proper grounding and bonding, this material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge.If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flammable air-vapour mixtures can occur.Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death.High gas concentrations will displace available air; unconsciousness and death may occur suddenly from lack of oxygen.This material has the potential to be a static accumulator.
