Liquid contact could cause frostbite. EYES : Liquid contact can cause severe irritation and frostbite. Mist ma irritate.

INHALATION: R-22 is low in acute to!icit in animals. "hen o! gen levels in air are reduced to 12-1#$ b dis%lacement& s m%toms of as%h !iation& loss of coordination& increased %ulse rate and dee%er res%iration will occur. 't high levels& cardiac arrh thmia ma occur. INGESTION : Ingestion is unli(el because of the low boiling %oint of the material. )hould it occur& discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract from ra%id eva%oration of the material and consequent evolution of gas would result. )ome effects of inhalation and s(in e!%osure would be e!%ected.

#. FIRST AID MEASURES
S:IN: .rom%tl flush s(in with water until all chemical is removed. If there is evidence of frostbite& bathe /do not rub0 with lu(ewarm /not hot0 water. If water is not available& cover with a clean& soft cloth or similar covering. 1et medical attention if s m%toms %ersist. EYES: Immediatel flush e es with large amounts of water for at least 12 minutes /in case of frostbite& water should be lu(ewarm& not hot0 lifting e elids occasionall to facilitate irrigation. 1et medical attention if s m%toms %ersist. INHALATION: Immediatel remove to fresh air. If breathing has sto%%ed& give artificial res%iration. 3se o! gen as required& %rovided a qualified o%erator is available. 1et medical attention immediatel . ,4 *45 give e%ine%hrine /adrenaline0. INGESTION: Ingestion is unli(el because of the %h sical %ro%erties and is not e!%ected to be ha6ardous. ,4 *45 induce vomiting unless instructed to do so b a %h sician.

ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN: 7ecause of the %ossible disturbances of cardiac rh thm& catecholamine drugs& such as e%ine%hrine& should be used with s%ecial caution and onl in situations of emergenc life su%%ort. 5reatment of overe!%osure should be directed at the control of s m%toms and the clinical conditions. 7, FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLAMMA<LE PROPERTIES FLASH POINT: FLASH POINT METHOD: AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: UPPER FLAME LIMIT 5!ol&-e = $* "$r9: LOWER FLAME LIMIT 5!ol&-e = $* "$r9: FLAME PROPAGATION RATE 5sol$'s9: OSHA FLAMMA<ILITY CLASS:

=. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER RELEASE: /'lwa s wear recommended %ersonal %rotective equi%ment.0 :vacuate un%rotected %ersonnel. .rotected %ersonnel should remove ignition sources and shut off lea(& if without ris(& and %rovide ventilation. 3n%rotected %ersonnel should not return until air has been tested and determined safe& including low-l ing areas.

>. HANDLING AND STORAGE

NORMAL HANDLING: /'lwa s wear recommended %ersonal %rotective equi%ment.0 'void breathing va%ors and liquid contact with e es& s(in or clothing. ,o not %uncture or dro% c linders& e!%ose them to o%en flame or e!cessive heat. 3se authori6ed c linders onl . ?ollow standard safet %recautions for handling and use of com%ressed gas c linders. R-22 should not be mi!ed with air above atmos%heric %ressure for lea( testing or an other %ur%ose. STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS: )tore in a cool& well-ventilated area of low fire ris( and out of direct sunlight. .rotect c linder and its fittings from %h sical damage. )torage in subsurface locations should be avoided. Close valve tightl after use and when em%t .

@. E>POSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: .rovide local ventilation at filling 6ones and areas where lea(age is %robable. Mechanical /general0 ventilation ma be adequate for other o%erating and storage areas. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE E?UIPMENT S:IN PROTECTION: )(in contact with refrigerant ma cause frostbite. 1eneral wor( clothing and gloves /leather0 should %rovide adequate %rotection. If %rolonged contact with liquid or gas is antici%ated& insulated gloves constructed of .A'& neo%rene or but l rubber should be used. 'n contaminated clothing should be %rom%tl removed and washed before reuse. EYE PROTECTION: ?or normal conditions& wear safet glasses. "here there is reasonable %robabilit of liquid contact& wear chemical safet goggles. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; M),)- R-22
