Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:A CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSANT &
    IRRITANT. INHALATION OF LOW CONCENTRATIONS WILL, CAUSE EXCITEMENT
    &/OR DISORIENTATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS COMPOUND CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS AT
    CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.1% OR GREATER THAT ARE CARCINOGENS OR SUSPECT
    CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:CONTACT WITH LIQUID WILL CAUSE FROSTBITE,
    IRRITATION OR BLINDNESS. BEING A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT, INHALATION AT
    HIGH CONCENTRATIONS SO AS TO EXCLUDE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF OXYGEN
    TO THE LUNGS WILL CAUSE UN CONSCIOUSNESS AND POSSIBLE DEATH.

Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:850F
Lower Limits:3.0
Upper Limits:11.0
Extinguishing Media:WATER FOG, DRY CHEMICAL FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DO NOT EXTINGUISH. KEEP CYLINDER COOL WITH
    WATER FOG. IF FLAME IS EXTINGUISHED, REOMVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION
    & ALLOW CONTENTS TO VENT. INCREASE VENTILATION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL A
    CONSIDRABLE DISTANCE TO A SOURCES OF IGNITION.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AREA. USE
    APPROPIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. IF LEAK IS IN USER'S EQUIPMENT, BE

    ROLL CYLINDERS. DO NOT HEAT CYLINDERS.
Other Precautions:PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE IN
    COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTLATED AREA OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION AWAY
    FROM HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREAS & EMERGENCY EXISTS. DO NOT ALLOW
    STORAGE TEMPERATURE  TO EXCEED 130F. STORE UPRIGHT.
