=============  Composition/Information on Ingredients  =============

Ingred Name:CARBON MONOXIDE
CAS:630-08-0
RTECS #:FG3500000
OSHA PEL:55 MG/M3;50 PPM
ACGIH TLV:29 MG/M3;25 PPM

=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:50 MOLAR PPM; STEL=400 MOLAR PPM (ACGIH)
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ALL OF THE DISORDERS ARE DUE TO THE
    MARKEDLY REDUCED CELULAR RESPIRATION AND MAY INCLUDE CENTRAL
    NERVOUS SYSTEM IMPAIRMENT, CARDIOVASCULAR COLLAPSE, RENAL
    INSUFFICIENCY COMA, ETC.
Effects of Overexposure:DEPENDING ON LEVELS AND DURATION OF EXPOSURE,
    SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, HEART PALPITATIONS,
    WEAKNESS, CONFUSION AND NAUSEA TO CONVULSIONS, EVENTUAL
    UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH.	BECAUSE  IT IS A COLORLESS AND ODORLESS
    POISONOUS GAS, THERE IS NO WARNING OF ITS PRESENCE OTHER THAN THE
    ABOVE SYMPTOMS.  ANALYTICAL MONITORS, WITH ALARMS, SHOULD BE
    EMPLOYED WHERE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE RELE ASED OF TOXIC QUANTITIES
    EXISTS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF
    OVEREXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE
    EQUIPPED WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND BE COGNIZANT
    OF EXTREME FIRE AND  EXPLOSION HAZARD. INHALATION:	CONSCIOUS
    PERSONS SHOULD BE ASSISTED TO AN UNCONTAMINATED AREA AND BE TREATED
    WITH SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN.  QUICK REMOVAL FROM THE CONTAMINATED AREA
    IS MOST IMPORTANT.	UNC ONSCIOUS PERSONS SHOULD BE MOVED TO AN
    UNCONTAMINATED AREA AND BE GIVEN ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AND OXYGEN
    AT THE SAME TIME.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:GAS
Autoignition Temp:=630.C, 1166.F
Lower Limits:12.5
Upper Limits:74.0
Extinguishing Media:WATER, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF POSSIBLE, STOP THE FLOW OF CARBON MONOXIDE.
     USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL SURROUNDING CONTAINERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CARBON MONOXIDE HAS ALMOST THE SAME
    DENSITY AS AIR.  IT WILL NOT DIFFUSE BY RISING AS WITH SOME LIGHTER
    FLAMMABLES SUCH AS HYDROGEN OR NATURAL GAS (METHANE).

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

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA. 
    USE APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. IF LEAK IS IN USER'S
    EQUIPMENT, BE CERTAIN TO PURGE PIPING WITH AN INERT GAS PRIOR TO
    ATTEMPTING REPAIRS.  IF LEAK IS  IN CONTAINER OR CONTAINER VALVE,
    CONTACT THE CLOSEST LIQUID AIR CORPORATION LOCATION.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:USE ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. 
    VALVE PROTECTION CAPS MUST REMAIN IN PLACE UNLESS CONTAINER IS
    SECURED WITH VALVE OUTLET PIPED TO USE POINT. DO NOT DRAG, SLIDE OR
    ROLL CYLINDERS.  USE A SUITABLE H AND TRUCK FOR CYLINDER MOVEMENT.
    USE A PRESSURE REDUCING REGULATOR(SEE OTHER PRECAUTIONS)
Other Precautions:WHEN CONNECTING CYLINDER TO LOWER PRESSURE (<2,000
    PSIG) PIPING OR SYSTEMS.  DO NOT HEAT CYLINDER BY ANY MEANS TO
    INCREASE THE DISCHARGE RATE OF PRODUCT FROM THE CYLINDER. USE A
    CHECK VALVE OR TRAP IN  THE DISCHARGE LINE TO PREVENT HAZARDOUS
    BACKFLOW INTO THE CYLINDER.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE WITH MASK OR
    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR
    EMERGENCY USE.
Ventilation:HOOD WITH FORCED VENTILATION- LOCAL EXHAUST-TO PREVENT
    ACCUMULATION ABOVE THE TWA.  MECHANICAL-IN ACCORDANCE WITH
    ELECTRICAL CODES.
Protective Gloves:PLASTIC OR RUBBER
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES OR GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOES, SAFETY SHOWER
Supplemental Safety and Health
THIS NSN IS FOR A CYLINDER OF 500 PPM OF CARBON MONOXIDE IN AIR.  THE
    MANUFACTURER SUPPLIED TWO MSDS, ONE FOR THE CARBON MONOXIDE AND ONE
    FOR THE AIR.  THE CYLINDER IS 3.6 CUBIC FEET IN VOLUME AND AT  1000
    PSIG.

==================  Physical/Chemical Properties  ==================

HCC:G2
Boiling Pt:=-191.4C, -312.6F
Spec Gravity:@70F(AIR=1) IS.96
Solubility in Water:BUNSEN COEF. 0.02266
Appearance and Odor:COLORLESS, ODORLESS GAS

=================  Stability and Reactivity Data  =================

Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
OXIDIZERS
Stability Condition to Avoid:NONE
Hazardous Decomposition Products:NONE

===================  Toxicological Information	===================

Toxicological Information:THE OXYGEN TRANSPORT FUNCTION OF THE
    HEMOGLOBIN OF THE BLOOD IS REDUCED SINCE ITS NORMAL REACTION WITH
    INHALED CARBON  MONOXIDE TO FORM CARBOXY HEMOGLOBIN INSTEAD OF ITS
    NORMAL REACTION WITH HTE OXYGE N IN THE LUNGS TO FORM
    OXYHEMOGLOBIN. THE AFFINITY OF HEMOGLOBIN FOR CARBON MONOXIDE IS
    200-300 TIMES GREATER THAN ITS AFFINITY FOR OXYGEN.

====================  Disposal Considerations  ====================

Waste Disposal Methods:DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF RESIDUAL OR UNUSED
    QUANTITIES.  RETURN IN THE SHIPPING CONTAINER PROPERLY LABELED,
    WITH ANY VALVE OUTLET PLUGS OR CAPS SECURED AND VALVE PROTECTION
    CAP IN PLACE TO LIQUID  AIR CORPPORATION FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.  FOR
    EMERGENCY DISPOSAL, CONTACT THE CLOSEST LIQUID AIR CORPOR ATION
    LOCATION.
