Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
Symptoms:
Simple asphyxiant – this product does not contain oxygen and may cause asphyxia in confined spaces. Oxygen content in the area must not fall <18% or harmful effect will occur. In extremely high concentrations, product may act as an asphyxiant and cause increased breathing and pulse rates, fatigue and unconsciousness. As asphyxiation progresses, nausea, vomiting, prostration and loss of consciousness may result, eventually leading to convulsions, coma and death.
Skin Contact

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
Engineering Controls
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentration of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Recommended monitoring procedures: provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.
Hand Protection
Wear working gloves while handling cylinders. Guideline: EN 388 Protective gloves against mechanical risks.
Eye Protection
Wear eye protection to EN 166 when using gases. Guideline: EN 166 Personal Eye Protection. A full-face shield may also be necessary.
Respiratory Protection
If engineering controls and work practices are not effective in controlling exposure to this material, then wear suitable approved respiratory protection. Confirmation of which type of respirator is most suitable for the intended application should be obtained from respiratory protection suppliers.
Skin/Body Protection
Wear safety shoes while handling cylinders. Guideline: ISO 20345 Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.
Environmental Exposure Controls
refer to local regulations relating to restrictions on emissions into the atmosphere. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
