    information is available
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

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

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
    uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
    If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
    qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
    Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
    removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if
    needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
    before reuse. EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at
    least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. INGESTION:
    If a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention. NOTE TO
    PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen.

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

Lower Limits:12%
Upper Limits:29%
Extinguishing Media:Let burn unless leak can be stopped immediately.
    Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
    done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
    after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires
    in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned
    hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If
    this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep
    unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let
    the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from
    venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire.
    For tank, rail car or tank truck: Evacuation radius: 800 meters
    (1/2 mile). Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of
    material can be stopped first. Flood with fine water spray. Cool
    containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply
    water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Avoid
    inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and
    keep out of low areas. Evacuat if fire gets out of control or
    containers are directly exposed to fire. Evacuation radius: 500
    meters (1/3 mile). Consider downwind evacuation if material is
    leaking. Stop flow of gas.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. Moderate explosion
    hazard. Gas/air mixtures are explosive. The gas is heavier than
    air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources and
    flash back.

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

Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
    of ignition. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce
    vapors with water spray. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate
    hazard area and deny entry. Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate
    closed spaces before entering. Notify Local Emergency Planning
    Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for release
    greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If release
    occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103,
    notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or
    (202)426-2675 (USA).

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
    all current regulations and standards.
Other Precautions:

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

Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
    exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
    protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
    warning properties before use. Any supplied-air respirator with a
    full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other
    positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that
    has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
    positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately
    Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with full
    facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other
    positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
    supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
    facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation
    system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if
    explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance
    with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
    Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
    the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
    clothing.
Supplemental Safety and Health
