First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a doctor. Apply artificial respiration if breathing stopped.
Symptoms: In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Low concentrations of CO2 cause increased respiration and headache.
Rinse the eye with water immediately. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical assistance. If medical assistance is not immediately available, flush an additional 15 minutes.
Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
Symptoms: Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a doctor. Get immediate medical assistance.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Material will not burn. In case of fire in the surroundings: use appropriate extinguishing agent.
None.
None.
In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Continue water spray from protected position until container stays cool. Use extinguishants to contain the fire. Isolate the source of the fire or let it burn out.
Firefighter Protection
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA. Guideline: EN 469 Protective clothing for firefighters. Performance requirements for protective clothing for firefighting. EN 15090 Footwear for firefighters. EN 659 Protective gloves for firefighters. EN 443 Helmets for fire fighting in buildings and other structures. EN 137 Respiratory protective devices - Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask - Requirements, testing, marking.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate area. Provide adequate ventilation. Prevent from entering sewers, basements and workpits, or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle gases under pressure. Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product, its supply pressure and temperature. Protect containers from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. Secure cylinders in an upright position at all times, close all valves when not in use. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Never attempt to transfer gases from one container to another.
Keep container below 50°C in a well ventilated place. Secure cylinders in an upright position at all times.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Consider a work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Oxygen detectors should be used when asphyxiating gases may be released. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Systems under pressure should be regularly checked for leakages. Preferably use permanent leak tight connections (eg. welded pipes). CO2 detectors should be used when CO2 may be released.
Wear working gloves while handling containers Guideline: EN 388 Protective gloves against mechanical risks.
Safety eyewear, goggles or face-shield to EN166 should be used to avoid exposure to liquid splashes. Wear eye protection to EN 166 when using gases. Guideline: EN 166 Personal Eye Protection.
Not required.
No special precautions. Wear safety shoes while handling containers Guideline: ISO 20345 Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.
