Emergency Overview
Can cause rapid suffocation.Compressed liquefied gas.Avoid breathing gas.Direct contact with liquid can cause frostbite.Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required.Potential Health Effects
Inhalation : Concentrations of 10% CO2 or more can produce unconsciousness or death. In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/consciousness.Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Asphyxiation may bring about unconsciousness without warning and so rapidly that victim may be unable to protect themselves.Eye contact : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite.Skin contact : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite.Ingestion : Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.Chronic Health Hazard : Not applicable.Physical and Chemical Properties
