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
ma
y
result in unconsciousness.
Skin contact
Contact with liquefied gas may cause frostbite.
Eye contac
t
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. Victim may not be aware of
asphyxiation. Asphyxiation may bring about unconsciousness without warning and so rapidly that
victim ma
y
be unable to
p
rotect themself.
