NFPA RATINGS (SCALE 0-4): HEALTH=1 FIRE=4 REACTIVITY=0 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Colorless gas with a characteristic natural gas odor. MAJOR HEALTH HAZARDS: central nervous system depression, difficulty breathing PHYSICAL HAZARDS: Flammable gas. May cause flash fire. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: nausea, vomiting, irregular heartbeat, headache, symptoms of drunkenness, disorientation, suffocation, convulsions, coma LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: blisters, frostbite LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information on significant adverse effects EYE CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: frostbite, blurred vision LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information is available INGESTION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: frostbite LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information is available CARCINOGEN STATUS: OSHA: No NTP: No IARC: No

Part 4: First Aid Measures

INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: If frostbite or freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water (105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm water is not available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Get immediate medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water. INGESTION: If a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen.

Part 5: Fire Fighting Measures

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Severe fire hazard. Severe explosion hazard. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources and flash back. Electrostatic discharges may be generated by flow or agitation resulting in ignition or explosion. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires: Flood with fine water spray. FIRE FIGHTING: Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank truck: Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Let burn unless leak can be stopped immediately. For smaller tanks or cylinders, extinguish and isolate from other flammables. Evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Stop flow of gas. FLASH POINT: -157 F (-105 C) LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: 2.1% UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: 9.5% AUTOIGNITION: 842 F (450 C).

Part 6: Accidental Release Measures

OCCUPATIONAL RELEASE: Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.

Part 7: Handling and Storage

STORAGE: Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Subject to storage regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.110. Grounding and bonding required. Keep separated from incompatible substances.

Part 8: Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Part 11: Toxicological Information

PROPANE: TARGET ORGANS: central nervous system ADDITIONAL DATA: Stimulants such as epinephrine may induce ventricular fibrillation. HEALTH EFFECTS: INHALATION: ACUTE EXPOSURE: PROPANE: Brief exposure to 10,000 ppm caused no symptoms in human subjects; 100,000 ppm produced slight dizziness in a few minutes but was not noticeably irritating to the nose or respiratory tract. High levels may produce disorientation, excitation, excessive salivation, headache and vomiting. In primates, 100,000 ppm produced some myocardial effects and at 200,000 ppm aggravation of these parameters and respiratory depression. Concentations of 100,000 ppm in mice and 150,000 ppm in dogs appear to produce no arrhythmia but weak cardiac sensitization. Simple asphyxiants at concentrations of 33% may cause rapid respiration, dyspnea and reduced mental alertness and muscle coordination. Concentrations of 75% may produce nausea, vomiting, prostration, unconsciousness, convulsions, deep coma and death. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: PROPANE: Repeated contact may result in symptoms as described in acute exposure. SKIN CONTACT: ACUTE EXPOSURE: PROPANE: No adverse effects have been reported from the gas. Due to rapid evaporation, the liquid may cause frostbite with redness, tingling and pain or numbness. In more severe cases, the skin may become hard and white and develop blisters. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: PROPANE: No adverse effects reported. EYE CONTACT: ACUTE EXPOSURE: PROPANE: Vapor concentrations of 100,000 ppm were not noticeably irritating to the eyes. Due to rapid evaporation, the liquid may cause frostbite with redness, pain and blurred vision. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: PROPANE: No data available. INGESTION: ACUTE EXPOSURE: PROPANE: Ingestion of a gas is unlikely. If the liquid is swallowed, frostbite damage of the lips, mouth and mucous membranes may occur. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: PROPANE: No data available
