The MSDS indicates that carbon dioxide vapors are heavier than air and create an oxygen deficiency. Use secondary containment when transporting hazardous substances to your lab.
Containers are available in the stockroom.
Wear eye and splash protection when you are filling liquid nitrogen containers. The inhalation of the noxious fumes associated with the mixing of household cleaners can lead to pulmonary irritation and pneumonitis. Typically exposures to low concentrations of chloramines produce only mild respiratory tract irritation. In higher concentrations, the combination of hydrochloric acid, ammonia, and oxygen free radicals may cause corrosive effects and cellular injury, resulting in pneumonitis and edema. Emergency tracheostomy was required in a patient because of upper-airway compromise induced by chloramine gas.
