2.3 Other hazards
Information on whether a substance or mixture meets the criteria for PBT or vPvB is provided in Subsection 12.5. Propane-butane is heavier than air in the gaseous state and may accumulate in low-lying places. They form an explosive mixture with air. Vapours of the propane-butane may have a narcotic effect at higher concentrations, cause headaches, nausea, eye irritation and respiratory tract irritation. The product may accumulate static electricity. Propane-butane is stored under pressure in cylinders. When discharged into a space with atmospheric pressure, evaporation by boiling occurs at temperatures of up to -45 °C, therefore there is a risk of frostbite when the liquefied gas comes into contact with the skin. The released gas displaces oxygen and there is a risk of suffocation. This risk of explosion and suffocation particularly threatens in the areas below the ground level or in confined spaces.
