2.3 Other hazards

Rechargeable fire extinguishers as sold are charged with compressed air. When recharged with nitrogen as instructed, they present a simple asphyxiant hazard and exposure to nitrogen gas at high concentrations can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing. This product may contain trace quantities of quartz (crystalline silica) as an impurity. Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust at concentrations exceeding the occupational exposure limits may increase the risk of developing a disabling lung disease known as silicosis. IARC has determined that Crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite dust is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). To the best of our knowledge, it is unlikely that crystalline silica is above the concentration limit of 0.1% that would require classification. Specific Concentration Limits The values listed below represent the percentages of ingredients of unknown toxicity. Acute oral toxicity 1 - 10% Acute dermal toxicity 1 - 10% Acute inhalation toxicity 1 - 10% Acute aquatic toxicity 1 - 10%
