First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim to fresh air. If cough or other respiratory symptoms occur, consult medical personnel. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Consult medical personnel.
Symptoms: cough or other respiratory symptoms
If redness, itching or a burning sensation develops, get medical attention. Treat for frostbite if necessary.
Symptoms: redness, itching or a burning sensation
Immediately flush eyes with water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Treat for frostbite if necessary.
Symptoms: redness, itching or a burning sensation
None needed.
Immediate Medical Attention
If redness, itching or a burning sensation develops, get medical attention. Consult medical personnel.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Non-flammable gas. Use agent appropriate to surrounding material.
There are NO extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons.
Though gas cylinders are equipped with pressure and temperature relief devices, they should be removed from high temperature areas or fires, if safe to do so, to avoid risk of rupture.
Firefighter Protection
NO special protective equipment is needed for fire-fighters. Wear protective equipment appropriate for the fire conditions.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Carbon dioxide is a global warming gas.
This substance will vaporize into the atmosphere, see Heading 13.
