NOTES |
---|
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered. Do NOT spray water on a leaking cylinder (to prevent corrosion of the cylinder). Turn leaking cylinder with the leak up to prevent escape of gas in liquid state. |
