Inhalation : Low concentrations (3-5 molar %) cause increased respiration and headache.
Eight to 15 molar S concentrations cause headache, nausea and vomiting which may lead to
unconsciousness if not moved to open air or given oxygen.
High concentrations cause rapid circulatory insufficiency leading to cooB and death.

Carbon dioxide is the most powerful cerebral vasodilator known. Inhaling large concentTations
causes r=apid circuiaPrry insufficiency leading to colrm and death. Chronic,
harmful effects are not known frxn repeated inhalation of low (3-5 molar Z)

Carbon dioxide is not listed in the IARC, NTP or by OSHA as a carcinogen or potential
carcinogen.
Persons in ill health where such illness would be aggravated by exposure to carbon
dioxide should not be allowed to work with or handle this product.

PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OvEREXPOSURE TO CARBON DIOXIDE.
RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EpUIPPED NITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Inhalation : Conscious persons should be 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 assisted respiration and
supplemental oxygen. Assure that vomited material does not obstruct the airway by use
of positional drainage. Further tr'eatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
