*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE CPR/OXYGEN IF NEEDED.
    EYES: IMMEDIATELY WARM FROSTBITE AREA W/WARM WATER(NOT TO EXCEED
    ATTENTION IN ALL CASES. IF THE FROZEN PART OF THE BODY HAS THAWED,
    COVER W/DRY STERILE DRESSING W/A LARGE BULKY PROTECTIVE COVERING.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR THE
    SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:REMOVE ARGON CONTAINERS FROM FIRE AREA/COOL
    W/WATER. DON'T DIRECT WATER SPRAY AT THE CONTAINER VENT. SCBA MAY
    BE REQUIRED FOR RESCUE WORKERS. EVACUATE AREA.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ARGON IS NONFLAMMABLE. ARGON WHEN SPILLED
    WILL VAPRORIZE FORMING AN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT VAPOR CLOUD. PRESSURE IN
    A CONTAINER CAN BUILD UP HEAT & RUPTURE.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA. SHUT OFF SOURCE OF ARGON W/O
    RISK. VENTILATE AREA/REMOVE CONTAINERS TO A WELL LOCATION. SPRAY
    LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER ONTO AN UPWIND POSITION. DON'T SPRAY WATER
    DIRECTLY AT LEAK. IF LEAK ING FROM CONTAINER/VALVE, CONTACT YOUR
    SUPPLIER.
