3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
This product is a colorless gas, which has a rotten-egg odor. The odor cannot be relied on as an adequate warning of the presence
of this product, because olfactory fatigue occurs after over-exposure to hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide
are toxic to humans in relatively low concentrations. Over-exposure can cause skin or eye irritation, nausea, dizziness, headaches,
collapse, unconsciousness, coma, and death.

ROUTE OF ENTRY:

Yes No Yes Yes No
HEALTH EFFECTS:
Exposure Limits Irritant Sensitization Reproductive Hazard Mutagen

Yes Yes No Yes No
Carcinogenicity: --NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No
EYE EFFECTS:
Hydrogen sulfide can cause eyes to become scratchy, irritated and even teary. Above 50 ppm of hydrogen sulfide, there is an
intense tearing blurring of vision, and pain when looking at light.
SKIN EFFECTS:
Over-exposure to carbon monoxide can be indicated by the lips and fingernails turning bright red. High concentrations of hydrogen
sulfide may also be irritating to the skin.
INGESTION EFFECTS:
Ingestion unlikely. Gas at room temperature.
INHALATION EFFECTS:
Due to the small size of this cylinder, no unusual heath effects from over-exposure are anticipated under routine circumstances of
use. Over-exposure to hydrogen sulfide can cause dizziness, headache, and nausea. At 12- 16% Oxygen, breathing and pulse
rate is increased, muscular coordination is slightly disturbed.
NFPA HAZARD CODES HMIS HAZARD CODES RATING SYSTEM

___________________________________________________________________________
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES:
PERSONS WITH POTENTIAL EXPOSURE SHOULD NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES. Flush contaminated eyes with copious
quantities of water. Part eyelids to assure complete flushing. Continue for a minimum of 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical
attention.
SKIN:
Remove contaminated clothing as rapidly as possible. Flush affected area with copious quantities of water. Seek immediate
medical attention.
INGESTION:
Not required
INHALATION:
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASED OF OVEREXPOSURE. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE
EQUIPPED THE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. Victims should be assisted to an uncontaminated area and
inhale fresh air. Quick removal from the contaminated area is most important. If breathing has stopped administer artificial
resuscitation and supplemental oxygen. Further treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
These containers hold gas under pressure, with no liquid phase. If involved in a major fire, they should be sprayed with water to
avoid pressure increases, otherwise pressures will rise and ultimately they may distort or burst to release the contents. The gases
will not add significantly to the fire, but containers or fragments may be projected considerable distances - thereby hampering fire
fighting efforts.
___________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

In terms of weight, these containers hold very little contents, such that any accidental release by puncturing etc. will be of no
practical concern.
___________________________________________________________________________
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Suck back of water into the container must be prevented. Do not allow backfeed into the container. Use only properly specified
equipment which is suitable for this product, its supply pressure and temperature. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Do not heat
cylinder by any means to increase rate of product from the cylinder. Do not allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to
exceed 130oF (54oC).
___________________________________________________________________________
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Use adequate ventilation for extended use of gas.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

This gas mixture contains components that may cause embryotoxic effects in humans; however, due to the small size of the
cylinder no toxicological damage is anticipated.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

No ecological damage caused by this product.
___________________________________________________________________________
13. DISPOSAL INFORMATION

Do not discharge into any place where its accumulation could be dangerous. Used containers are acceptable for disposal in the
normal waste stream as long as the cylinder is empty and valve removed or cylinder wall is punctured; but GASCO encourages the
consumer to return cylinders.
