SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

General Inhalation Simple asphyxiant. From the physiological point of view, the only limiting concentration factor is given by the available air oxygen, which must be at least 18%. 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. If frostbite or freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm water is not available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Get immediate medical attention. Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains. Get medical attention immediately. If a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention. For inhalation, consider oxygen.

SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammable Properties Extinguishing Media Extremely flammable gas. Hydrogen is very light and may collect in the upper portions of storage areas. Hydrogen burns with an almost invisible flame. Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray or fog. Use massive quantities of water to cool fire-exposed containers and to protect personnel. Do not attempt to extinguish a leaking gas fire unless leak source can be isolated and shut off. Do not use water jets.

Hazardous Combustion Products Protective Equipment/Clothing Fire Fighting Guidance

None In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Additional protective clothing must be worn to prevent personal contact with this material. Approach fire with caution as high-temperature flame is practically invisible. Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped first. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Use flooding quantities of water as fog or spray. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. Keep unnecessry people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Evacuate if fire gets out of control or containers are directly exposed to fire. Let the fire burn. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion byproducts.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Extra personal protection Immediately evacuate personnel to safe areas. Restrict access to affected area. Use personal protective equipment. In the case of hazardous fumes, wear self contained breathing apparatus. Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Evacuate area. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Do not touch spilled material. No smoking or open flames permitted in storage, use or handling areas. Eliminate ignition sources. Dissipate static electricity during transfer or processing by proper earthing (grounding) and bonding of containers and equipment.

Environmental precautions Recommended methods for cleaning and disposal

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Handle in fully enclosed, grounded, properly designed and approved pressurized hydrogen gas systems. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation. Keep away from uncontrolled heat and incompatible materials. Ground all material handling and transfer equipment to dissipate buildup of static electricity. Take special precautions when cold cutting or breaking into lines, or when cleaning and disposing of empty containers. Wear suitable protective equipment including thermally protective gloves. No smoking or open flames permitted in storage, use or handling areas. Storage area should be clearly identified, well illuminated, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorized personnel. Store in grounded, properly designed and approved pressure containers and away from incompatible materials. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source. Store according to applicable codes or regulations for pressurized flammable gases as applicable to cylinders, vessels, piping, buildings, rooms, cabinets, allowable quantities and minimum storage distances. Have appropriate extinguishing capability in storage area (e.g. sprinkler system, portable fire extinguishers) and flammable gas detectors. Storage pressure vessels should be above ground. Chemical Intermediate, hydrogenation, welding. Handling with materila according to Section 7 part Handling.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

ACGIH exposure limit lists have been checked for major components listed with CAS registry numbers. ACGIH has not developed exposure limits for any of this product's components.
Chemical Safety Report

Not available Derived No Effect Levels (DNEL) Not available Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC) Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Provide local exhaust ventilation system to prevent accumulation of high concentrations so as to reduce the oxygen level in the air to less than 19.5% and to keep gas mixture below lower explosive limit (4 %). Eye protection not required, but recommended. Inhalation Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Hand Self-contained breathing apparatus should be available for emergency use. Eyes Protective clothing is not required. Skin Environmental exposure controls should be in accordance with applicable regional, national, and Environmental local laws and regulations. exposure controls

SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

Chemical Stability Conditions to Avoid Substances to Avoid Decomposition Products Hazardous Polymerization Reactions with Air and Water Advice to prevent explosion Stable at normal temperatures and pressures. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to heat. Metals, oxidizing agents, metal oxides, combustible material, halogens, metal salts, halocarbons, air, chlorine, lithium, oxygen Hydrogen compounds Will not occur Vapours may form an explosive mixture with air. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition.

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Acute Toxicity This material is a simple asphyxiant. The symptoms of asphyxia depend on the rapidity with which the oxygen deficiency develops and how long it continues. In sudden acute asphyxia, unconsciousness may be immediate. With slow development there may be rapid respiration and pulse, air hunger, dizziness, reduced awareness, tightness in the head, tingling sensations, incoordination, faulty judgment, emotional instability, and rapid fatigue. As the asphyxia progresses, nausea, vomiting, collapse, unconsciousness, convulsions, deep coma and death are possible Hydrogen 1h inhalation-rat LC50 15000 ppm Methane Repeated Dose Toxicity
