Hazards identification

None of the components are on the environment ministrys list. Asphyxiation if concentrated gas is inhaled. Freezing may occur if containers are discharged quickly. Ensure fresh air. If no breathing apply artificial respiration. If necessary deploy oxygen treatment. The gas mixture is NOT flammable and do NOT support combustion. The gas does not produce toxic decomposition products. Containers must be removed from fire. If containers have been exposed to increased heat they must be cooled and depressurized.

Fire-fighting measures

06

Accidental release measures Handling and storage

If released in enclosures these must be ventilated. No environmental actions are required as all components are part of the atmosphere. There must be access to fresh air. Directions for handling of pressurised vessels must be followed. Pressure vessels must be approved by authorities. Carbondioxid: 5000ppm 9000 mg/m3. If poor ventilation fresh air mask must be used.
