=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF
    BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS
    DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.  EYE CONTACT:  IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH
    COPIOUS AMOUNTS  OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.	SKINCONTACT: 
    IF FROSTBITE OCCURS, FLUSH AFFECTED AREAS WITH LUKEWARM WATER. 
    INGESTION: NONE.  IN EVENT OF EXPOSURE, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. NOTE
    TO PHYSICIAN: MONITO R ARTERIAL BLOOD GASES, ENG, AND VITAL SIGNS.
    DILANTIN IMPROVES ARTRIO-VENTRICULAR CONDUCTION AND MAY BE USEFUL
    IN THE MANAGEMENT OF VENTRICULAR ARRYTHMIAS.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NON  FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE WHAT IS APPROPIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED PRESSURE DEMAND SCBA AND
    FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .   KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CYLINDERS COOL WITH
    WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CYLINDER RUPTURE MAY OCCUR UNDER FIRE
    CONDITIONS. THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS MAY INCLUDE CHLORIDES,
    FLUORIDES AND PHOSGENE .

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:CLEAN UP PROCEDURES:  EVACUATE AND VENTILATE
    AREA.   SHUT OFF SOURCE IF POSSIBLE AND REMOVE SOURCE OF HEAT. TRY
