Health hazards

Specific Target Organ Toxicity: Prolonged or repeated contact to carbon dioxide may cause damage to the retinal ganglion cells. Long-term exposure to carbon dioxide can alter the acid-base and calcium-phosphorus balance, resulting in metabolic acidosis and calcium deposits in soft tissue. Prolonged or repeated over exposure to carbon dioxide may also cause damage to the retinal ganglion cells, central nervous system and heart diminished contractile force).

Precautionary statements

H280 Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. P410+P403 Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. H333 May be harmful if inhaled. P304+P312 IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. EMERGENCY Contact with pressurized gas may cause skin burns and frostbite. Contact with eyes may cause transient OVERVIEW: corneal damage. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen and cause dizziness, disorientation, lack of coordination, excitation, headache and nausea. High concentrations (greater than 10% carbon dioxide) may result in unconsciousness, respiratory failure, coma and death. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause damage of the retinal ganglion cells, central nervous system and heart. Avoid inhalation of gas. Avoid contact with eyes or skin. In case of eye or skin contact, immediately flush affected area(s) with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Apply a sterile dry dressing and treat as a burn. Seek medical attention. If inhaled and respiratory symptoms or other symptoms of exposure develop, move victim to fresh air and seek medical attention. If breathing difficulties develop, qualified personnel should administer oxygen. If victim is not breathing, move to fresh air and immediately begin artificial respiration. Keep victim warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.

Potential health effects

EYES: Contact with pressurized gas may cause momentary freezing followed by slight swelling and transient corneal damage. Persons with pre-existing eye disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this 2020-05-08T08 16 34Z product. Contents under high pressure. Rupture or puncture of the container may create projectile - hazard. SKIN: Skin absorption of this product is unlikely. Contact with the pressurized gas may cause skin burns and frostbite. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this material. Contents under high pressure. Rupture or puncture of the container may create projectile hazard. INGESTION: Ingestion of this material is unlikely. INHALATION: The presence of increased levels of carbon dioxide in the immediate area can displace oxygen and cause TE334077 dizziness, disorientation, and lack of coordination, excitation, headache and nausea. High concentrations (greater than 10% carbon dioxide) may result in unconsciousness, respiratory failure, coma and death. Persons with respiratory or blood disease or whose oxygen carrying capacity is already compromised (e.g., anaemia or smokers) may be more sensitive to the effects of this material.

Acute Health Hazards

See above.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Breathing disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. Exposure to high levels of carbon dioxide temporarily increases the breathing rate. Persons over 65 and those with a recent history of epilepsy, stroke, fainting, heart disease, respiratory disease, glaucoma, endocrine disease, gastric or duodenal ulcers, or high blood pressure should be excluded from working with high levels of carbon dioxide.
