TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Not combustible. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting.		In case of fire in the surroundings: use appropriate extinguishing media.
EXPLOSION			In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water.

EXPOSURE
Inhalation	Dizziness. Dullness. Headache. Suffocation.	Ventilation.	Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell
Skin
Eyes
Ingestion

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation.	UN classification UN Hazard Class: 2.2 GHS classification Signal: Warning Cylinder Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated

EMERGENCY RESPONSE	SAFE STORAGE
Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-20G1A	Fireproof if in building. Keep in a well-ventilated room.

IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS, ODOURLESS COMPRESSED GAS. Physical dangers The gas is lighter than air. Occupational exposure limits TLV: Simple asphyxiant (ACGIH 2007). MAK not established.	Inhalation risk On loss of containment this gas can cause suffocation by lowering the oxygen content of the air in confined areas. Effects of short-term exposure Suffocation.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Boiling point: -246.1°C Melting point: -248.7°C Solubility in water: very poor Relative vapour density (air = 1): 0.69

NOTES

High concentrations in the air cause a deficiency of oxygen with the risk of unconsciousness or death.
Check oxygen content before entering area.
Other UN number 1913, Neon, refrigerated liquid, hazard class 2.2.
