First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get immediate medical advice/attention.

Symptoms: May cause drowsiness or dizziness.

Skin contact

Thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Do no rub affected area. Get immediate medical advice/attention.

Symptoms: Contact with the liquid the may cause cold burns/frostbite.

Eye contact

Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical advice/attention.

Symptoms: Direct contact with the liquefied gas may cause severe and possibly permanent eye injury due to frostbite from rapid liquid evaporation.

Ingestion

Due to its physical form, exposure to this chemical is not likely. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth out with water. Get medical advice/attention.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get immediate medical advice/attention.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Alcohol resistant foam. Carbon dioxide. Dry powder. Water spray. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

Specific hazards

Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated.

Instructions

In case of fire: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.

Firefighter Protection

Wear gas tight chemically protective clothing in combination with self contained breathing apparatus. For further information refer to section 8: "Exposure controls/personal protection".

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Ensure adequate air ventilation. May cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing. Do not breathe gas, fumes, vapor or spray. Only qualified personnel equipped with suitable protective equipment may intervene. Gas/vapor heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, particularly at or below ground level.

Environmental

Avoid release to the environment.

Cleanup methods

Ventilate area.
