    This document provides a safety data sheet for a calibration gas containing 40 ppm hydrogen sulfide in nitrogen. The summary is: The gas is colorless with a rotten egg smell and contains 0.004% hydrogen sulfide, which is an irritant, and the balance is nitrogen. Proper precautions should be taken when using the gas, including adequate ventilation and respiratory protection if exposure limits are exceeded. The gas is compressed and flammable, so care should be taken in storage and handling.

    HEALTH HAZARDS HEALTH HAZARDS Hydrogen Sulfide: LCLO (human inhalation) 800 ppm/5 minutes. Contains 40 ppm Hydrogen sulfide Exposure to this level can cause olfactory fatigue. Nitrogen is an asphyxiant. Note: this gas mixture contains 40 ppm hydrogen sulfide. Additionally, because this gas mixture contains less than 19.5% oxygen if this mixture is released in a small poorly ventilated area (confined space) an oxygen deficient environment may occur. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE Hydrogen sulfide is an irritant of the eyes and respiratory tract. Headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, difficulty breathing. [Note: Sense of smell becomes rapidly fatigued and cannot be relied upon to warn of the continuous presence of H2S.] Oxygen deficient atmosphere: Individuals breathing such an atmosphere may experience symptoms which include headaches, ringing in the ears, dizziness, drowsiness, unconsciousness, nausea, vomiting and depression of all the senses. Under some circumstances of over-exposure, death may occur. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY - Inhalation, skin and eyes TARGET ORGANS Hydrogen sulfide is an irritant of the eyes and respiratory tract. MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS BEING AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE Pre-existing respiratory conditions may be aggravated by over-exposure to this gas mixture. Over exposure to hydrogen sulfide may also aggravated eye disorders and skin problems. EXPOSURE LIMITS - ACGIH 2010: Hydrogen sulfide TWA 1 ppm, STEL 5 ppm CARCINOGENICITY DATA - NIOSH RTECS, OSHA, NTP or IARC does not list component gases. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES - Remove From Exposure SAFE HANDLING AND USE HYGIENIC PRACTICES - Avoid breathing gas. PROTECTIVE MEASURES DURING REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT - N/A PROCEDURES FOR SPILL OR LEAK CLEANUP - Ventilate area. WASTE DISPOSAL - Do not puncture or incinerate cylinder. Before discarding cylinder, slowly release contents to a safe exhaust. Dispose of cylinder in accordance with local, state and federal regulations STORAGE - Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Do not exceed 120F. CONTROL MEASURES PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT - Due to the limited amount of gas in the cylinder, and the low release rate employed in instrument calibration, respiratory protection is not indicated under conditions of intended use. ENGINEERING CONTROLS - Mechanical ventilation is suitable. WORK PRACTICES - Avoid breathing gas. Use in well-ventilated areas. Follow the calibration procedure detailed in the MSA instruction manual provided with the instrument under calibration. DATE OF PREPARATION - Rev. 3, October 2010
