First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Symptoms: May cause cardiac arrhythmia. Other symptoms potentially related to misuse or inhalation abuse are Cardiac sensitisation, Anaesthetic effects, Light-headedness, Dizziness, confusion, Lack of coordination, Drowsiness, Unconsciousness. Gas reduces oxygen available for breathing.
Thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Do not rub affected area. Get medical attention immediately.
Symptoms: Irritation, Swelling of tissue, Itching, Discomfort, Redness. Contact with liquid or refrigerated gas can cause cold burns and frostbite.
Get medical attention immediately.
Symptoms: tearing, Redness, Discomfort. Contact with liquid or refrigerated gas can cause cold burns and frostbite.
Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
Symptoms: Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
Immediate Medical Attention
In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice. Get medical attention immediately for inhalation, skin, and eye contact.
Medical Treatment
Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine, that may be used in situations of emergency life support should be used with special caution.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Minimize workplace exposure concentrations.
Low temperature resistant gloves. Choose gloves to protect hands against chemicals depending on the concentration and quantity of the hazardous substance and specific to place of work. For special applications, we recommend clarifying the resistance to chemicals of the aforementioned protective gloves with the glove manufacturer. Breakthrough time is not determined for the product. Change gloves often!
Wear chemical resistant goggles and a face-shield. Equipment should conform to BS EN 166.
If adequate local exhaust ventilation is not available or exposure assessment demonstrates exposures outside the recommended guidelines, use respiratory protection. Equipment should conform to BS EN 14387. Filter type: Organic gas and low boiling vapour type (AX).
Skin should be washed after contact.
