Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
Bring the injured person out into fresh air. Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. If breathing is difficult let trained personnel administer oxygen. Let the injured person rest in a warm place with fresh air and seek medical advice immediately.
Symptoms:
High concentrations can displace the normal air and cause suffocation from lack of oxygen.
Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothes. Heat the exposed body part in lukewarm water if cold injury occurs. Do NOT use warm water. Frostbite should be treated by a doctor.
Symptoms:
Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause frostbite.
Eye Contact
Remove contact lenses immediately if possible. Rinse the eye for several minutes with lukewarm water. If irritation persists call a doctor/ophthalmologist.
Symptoms:
Frostbites.
Ingestion/Swallowing
If symptoms persist contact a doctor.
Symptoms:
Frostbites.
Immediate Medical Attention Required
Transport the injured person to a hospital immediately. Seek medical advice immediately if breathing is difficult or irritation persists. Frostbite should be treated by a doctor.
Medical Treatment
Symptomatic treatment.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Extinguish with powder, carbon dioxide or foam.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
May not be extinguished with water dispersed under high pressure.
Specific Fire Hazards
Gases detrimental to health (carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) can be spread in case of fire. In case of fire, high pressure may build up causing the packaging to explode. The gas forms an explosive mixture with air. Flammable gas.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Protective measures should be taken regarding other material at the site of the fire. Containers in the proximity of fire should be moved and cooled down with water. If the gas cylinder cannot be removed, cool it with water as long as the fire persists and then at least 10 minutes.
Firefighter Protection Equipment
In case of fire use proper breathing apparatus. Wear full protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures & Spill Response
Emergency spill cleanup procedures, containment methods, and environmental protection
Emergency Procedures
Use recommended safety equipment, see section 8. Do not inhale the gas. Area should be evacuated and gases removed with ventilation. Note, risk of ignition and explosion. Switch off equipment which has an exposed flame, glows, or has a heat source of some other kind. Note, risk for formation of sparks due to static electricity. Do not remove clothing in a room where spillage has occurred. Use breathing apparatus when oxygen levels are low or unknown. Let the gas from the leaking gas cylinders evaporate outdoors. Evacuate and ventilate the premises.
Large Spill Procedures
Notify rescue services for larger spillage.
Environmental Precautions
Notify rescue services for larger spillage. Prevent from entering sewers, basements and pits, or any place where gas accumulation could be dangerous.
Cleanup Methods
Let the gas from the leaking gas cylinders evaporate outdoors. Evacuate and ventilate the premises.
