11. Toxicological information | ||
Information on likely routes of exposure | ||
Inhalation | High concentrations: Suffocation (asphyxiant) hazard - if allowed to accumulate to concentrations that reduce oxygen below safe breathing levels. Breathing of high concentrations may cause dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness. | |
Skin contact | Contact with liquefied gas may cause frostbite. | |
Eye contact | Contact with liquefied gas may cause frostbite. | |
Ingestion | This material is a gas under normal atmospheric conditions and ingestion is unlikely. | |
Symptoms related to the physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics | Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite ("cold burn"). Very high exposure can cause suffocation from lack of oxygen. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Asphyxiation may bring about unconsciousness without warning and so rapidly that victim may be unable to protect themself. | |

13. Disposal considerations | |
|---|---|
Disposal instructions | Use the container until empty. Do not dispose of any non-empty container. Empty containers have residual vapor that is flammable and explosive. Cylinders should be emptied and returned to a hazardous waste collection point. Do not puncture or incinerate even when empty. Dispose in accordance with all applicable regulations. |
Local disposal regulations | Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. |
Hazardous waste code | D001: Waste Flammable material with a flash point <140 °F The waste code should be assigned in discussion between the user, the producer and the waste disposal company. |
Waste from residues / unused products | Dispose in accordance with all applicable regulations. |
Contaminated packaging | |
