TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Extremely flammable. | NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. | Shut off supply; if not possible and no risk to surroundings, let the fire burn itself out. In other cases extinguish with powder, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Gas/air mixtures are explosive. Explosive. | Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding) if in liquid state. Do NOT expose to friction or shock. | In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position. |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Abdominal pain. Confusion. Dizziness. Headache. Nausea. Shortness of breath. Vomiting. Weakness. Symptoms may be delayed. See Notes. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | ON CONTACT WITH LIQUID: FROSTBITE. | Cold-insulating gloves. Protective clothing. | ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Refer for medical attention . |
| Eyes | ON CONTACT WITH LIQUID: FROSTBITE. | Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | ||

| NOTES |
|
The symptoms of poisoning do not become manifest until a few hours or even a few days have passed. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. Turn leaking cylinder with the leak up to prevent escape of gas in liquid state. Also consult ICSC 0013 Arsenic. Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, Emergency Response. TLV: Intended change: 0.005 ppm A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen). |
