Other hazards which do not result in classification
High gas concentrations will displace available air; unconsciousness and death may occur sud- denly 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.
