Potential health effects

Exposure Limits Irritant Sensitization No Yes No Teratogen Reproductive Hazard Mutagen No Synergistic Effects None Reported Carcinogenicity -- NTP No IARC No OSHA: No EYE EFFECTS: Exposure may cause eye irritation. SKIN EFFECTS: High concentrations may cause irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may tend to dry or defat the skin and cause irritation or dermatitis. INGESTION EFFECTS: Ingestion is unlikely as product is a gas. INHALATION EFFECTS: Inhalation of low concentrations may cause transient nose and throat irritation. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause bronchial constriction, cough, dyspnea, chest tightness and pulmonary edema. High concentrations may cause the heart to beat irregularly and stop. Oxygen deficiency may occur in the presence of high concentrations resulting in asphyxiation. Maintain oxygen levels above 19.5%.
