17-R404-R452 GAS SAFETY BOARD
Identification of dangers Elevated inhalation exposure can have anesthetic effects.
Very high exposure can cause cardiac rhythm anomalies and cause sudden death.
The nebulized or squirted product can cause frost burns to the eyes or skin.
Dangerous for the ozone layer.
17.1 FIRST AID MEASURES
17.1.1 - INHALATION
Move the injured person away from exposure and keep him/her warm and at rest.
Give oxygen if needed. Perform artificial respiration if breathing has stopped or gives signs of
stopping.
In case of cardiac arrest, perform an external heart massage. Seek immediate medical
assistance.
17.1.2 - SKIN CONTACT
Have the concerned areas thaw with water. Remove contaminated clothing.
Attention: clothing can stick to the skin for frost burns.
For skin contact, wash immediately and abundantly with lukewarm water. If symptoms occur
(irritation or formation of blisters) seek medical assistance.
17.1.3 - EYE CONTACT
Wash immediately with an eye-wash solution or with clean water, keeping the eyelids aside,
for at least 10 minutes. Seek medical assistance.
17.1.4 - INGESTION
Do not provoke vomiting. If the injured person is conscious, have the mouth rinsed with water
and have him/her drink 200-300 ml of water. Seek immediate medical assistance.
Do not administer adrenalin or similar sympathomimetic drugs after exposure, due to the risk
of cardiac arrhythmia with possible cardiac arrest.
17.2 FIRE PREVENTION MEASURES
17.2.1 - FLAMMABILITY
Non-flammable. Thermal decomposition causes the emission of toxic and corrosive vapors
(hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride).
In case of fire, use a self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing.
17.1.2 - FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Use extinguishing agents appropriate for the surrounding fire.
17.1.2 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION INHALATION
More elevated atmospheric concentrations can cause anesthetic effects with possible losing
of conscience.
Very high exposure can cause cardiac rhythm anomalies and cause sudden death.
More elevated concentrations can cause asphyxiation due to the reduced content of oxygen
in the air.
