Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES
Skin: YES
Ingestion: NO
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO
IARC: NO
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: ROUTES OF EXPEXPOSURE-INHALATION: HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY
  CAUSE DEEP BREATHING, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA AND EVENTUAL UNCONSCIOUSNESS DUE TO
  INADEQUATE OXYGEN SUPPLY. ANESTHETIC EFFECTS MAY OCCUR WHEN MIXED  WITH
  OCCUR AFTER INCIPIENT ASPHYXIA ACCOMPANIED BY SUDDEN RETURN OF OXYGEN AS IN
  AIR. NITROUS OXIDE IS A SLIGHT NARCOTIC BU T LACKS SUBSTANTIAL TOXICITY.
  ASPHYXIA WILL OCCUR DUE TO OXYGEN EXCLUSION. MAINTAIN OXYGEN LEVELS ABOVE
  NITROUS OXIDE IN LIQU ID (SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: MISCELLANEOUS TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
  CARCINOGENICITY: NTP: NO, IARC: NO, 
OSHA: NO.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HEALTH HAZARDS ACUTE AND CHRONIC (CONT):
  STATE WILL CAUSE FROSTBITE AND COLD BURNS. CONTACT WITH THE COLD LIQUID COULD
  CAUSE FROSTBITE OR CRYOGENIC BURNS.  ROUTES OF EXPOSURE-EYES: CONTACT WITH
  LIQUID  MATERIAL WILL CAUSE DAMAGE SIMILAR TO SKIN CONTACT BUT MAY BE MORE
  SEVERE.  ROUTES OF EXPOSURE- INGESTION: NONE KNOWN. INGESTION IS UNLIKELY.
First Aid: INHALATION: PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF
  OVEREXPOSURE TO NITROUS OXIDE. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH
  SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. CONSCIOUS PERSONS SHOULD B E ASSISTED TO
  AN UNCONTAMINATED AREA AND INHALE FRESH AIR. QUICK REMOVAL FROM THE
  CONTAMINATED AREA IS MOST IMPORTANT. UNCONSCIOUS PERSONS SHOULD BE MOVED TO
  AN UNCONTAMINATED AREA, GIVEN ARTIFICIAL R ESUSCITATION AND SUPPLEMENTAL
  OXYGEN. FURTHER TREATMENT SHOULD BE SYMPTOMATIC AND SUPPORTIVE. SKIN: TREAT
  AREAS EXPOSED TO LIQUID AS FROSTBITE. FLUSH AFFECTED AREAS WITH LUKEWARM
  WATER. DO NOT USE HOT  WATER. A PHYSICIAN (TOXICOLOGICAL INFO)

Handling and Disposal
*
Spill Release Procedures: EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA. USE
  APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. NOTE: NITROUS OXIDE, REFRIGERATED LIQUID,
  IS DELIVERED TO A CUSTOMER INTO STATIONARY VESSELS AT THE CUSTOMER'S LOCATION
  . THESE VESSELS MAY HAVE MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION COILS WITHIN THE VAPOR
  SPACE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE PRESSURE IN THE VESSEL OR THE TEMPERATURE OF
  THE LIQUID IN THE VESSEL. (ECOLOGICAL INFO)
Waste Disposal Methods: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF RESIDUAL OR UNUSED
  QUANTITIES. CONTACT YOUR HOLOX REPRESENTATIVE FOR PROPER DISPOSAL INFORMATION
  AND ASSISTANCE.
Handling And Storage Precautions: USE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.  USE A
  SUITABLE HANDTRUCK FOR CYLINDER MOVEMENT.  STATIONARY CUSTOMER SITE VESSELS
  SHOULD BE OPERATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH TH MANUFACTURER'S AND HOLOX
  INSTRUCTIONS. DO  NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR, ADJUST OR IN ANY OTHER WAY MODIFY
  THE OPERATION OF THESE (OTHER INFORMATION)
Other Precautions: N/P.

Toxicological Information: N/P.        FIRST AID (CONT): SHOULD SEE THE PATIENT
  PROMPTLY IF THE CRYOGENIC "BURN" HAS RESULTED IN BLISTERING OF THE DERMAL
  SURFACE OR DEEP TISSUE FREEZING.  EYES: NEVER INTRODUCE OINTMENT OR OIL I NTO
  THE EYES WITHOUT MEDICAL ADVICE! IN CASE OF FREEZING OR CRYOGENIC "BURNS"
  CAUSED BY RAPIDLY EVAPORATING LIQUID, DO NOT WASH THE EYES WITH HOT OR EVEN
  TEPID WATER. REMOVE VICTIM FROM THR SOURCE OF  CONTAMINATION. OPEN EYELIDS
  WIDE TO ALLOW LIQUID TO EVAPORATE. IF PAIN IS PRESENT, REFER THE VICTIM TO AN
  OPTHALMOLOGIST FOR TREATMENT AND FOLLOW UP. IF THE VICTIM CANNOT TOLERATE
  LIGHT, PROTECT THE E YES WITH A LIGHT BANDAGE.
