Ingestion: Rodents given doses via oral gavage of decamethyl-
pentasiloxane (100 mg/kg/day for females, 400. ' '
..... mg/kg/day for males, 14 days) developed increased
liver weights relative to unexposed control
animals.
Inhalation: In inhalation studies, laboratory rodents exposed
to decamethylpentasiloxane (120 ppm five days/week,
90 days) developed increased liver weights in
female animals, relative to unexposed control
animals. When the exposure was stopped, li~er
weights returned to normal. Microscopic
examination of the liver cells did not show any
.... evidence of pathology.. Inhalation exposures
typical of industrial usage (5-10 ppm) showed no
toxic'effects in rodents.
~ttention: Not f6r injection into humans.

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless gas. The main health hazard associated with
releases of this gas is asphyxiation, by displacement of oxygen.
SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF ....
EXPOSURE: The most significant route of over-exposure for ~MA'm~IALINFORMA'noN
Nitrogen is by inhalation, i'~'
INHALATIC)N: High concentrations of this gas can cause an IHEALTH

ACUTE: The most 'significant hazard associated with thisgas is
inhalation of oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Symptoms of oxygen deficiency include respiratory .difficulty,
ringing in e~rs, headaches, shortness of breath, wheezing, headache, dizziness, indigestion, nausea, and, at high
concentrations, unconsciousness or death may occur. The skin of a victim of over-exposure may have a blue
color,
CHRONIC: There are currently no known adverse health effects associated with chronic exposure to this gas.
TARGET ORGANS: Respiratory syster~.
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
J
RESCUERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE VICTIMS OF EXPOSURE TO NITROGEN
WITHOUT ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. At a minimum, Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus
Remove victim(s) to fresh air, as quickly as possible. Only trained personnel should administer supplemental
oxygen and/or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, if necessary.
Victim(s) must be taken for medical attention. Rescuem should be taken for medical attention, if necessary.

J 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LEAK RESPONSE Evacuate immediate area. Uncontrolled releases should be responded to by trained
personnel using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective equipment should be used. In case of a leak, clear
the affected area, protect people, and respond with trained personnel.
Minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be Level B: Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. Locate
and seal the source of the leaking gas. Allow the gas, which is lighter than air to dissipate. MOnitor the
surrounding area for oxygen, The atmosphere must have at least 19.5 percent oxygen before personnel can be
allowed in the area without Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
I1: leaking incidentally from the cylinder or its valve, contact your supplier.
! '7. HANDLING and USE I
Nitrogen may be supplied by p~pe.line at pressures up to 600 psig,
WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES: Be aware of any signs of.dizziness or fatigue; exposures to
fatal concentrations of Nitrogen could occur without any significant warning symptoms, due to oxygen deficiency.
STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES; Cylinders should be stored upright and be firmly secured to prevent
falling or being knocked-over. Cylinders can be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be protected
against extremes of weather and from the dampness of the ground to prevent rusting. Cylinders should be
stored in dry, well-ventilated areas away from sources.of heat, ignition and direct sunlight. Keep storage area
clear of materials which can bum. Do not allow area where cylinders are stored to exceed 52"C (125=F). Store
containers away from heavily trafficked areas and .emergency exits. Store away from process and production
areas, away from elevatorS, building and room exits or main aisles leading to'exits. Protect cylinders against
physical damage.
Use a check valve or other protective device in the discharge line to prevent hazardous backflow. Never tamper
with press~re relief valves and cylinders,
Keep the smallest amount necessary on-site at any one time. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated.
Use a first-in, first-out inventory systems to prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING GAS CYLINDERS: Compressed gases can present significant
safety hazards. The following rules are applicable to work situations in which cylinders are being used.
Before Use: Move cylinders with a suitable hand-truck. Do not drag, slide or roll cylinders. Do not drop
cylinders or permit them to strike each other. Secure cylinders firmly, Leave the valve protection cap (where
provided) in-place until cylinder is ready for use.
During Use: Use designated CGA fittings and other support equipment. Do not use adapters, Do not heat
cylinder by any means to increase the discharge rate of the product from the cylinder. Do not use oils or grease
on gas-handling fittings ar equipment, Immediately contact the supplier if there are any difficulties associated
with operating cylinder valve. Never insert an object (e.g wrench, screwdriver, pry bar, etc.) into valve cap
openings. Doing so may damage valve, causing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove
· over-tight or r[rsted caps. Never-strike an arcr-on a compressed gas-cylinder or make_aL.cylinder part of and..
electric circuit.
After Use: Close main cylinder valve. Replace valve protection cap. Mark empty cylinders "EMPTY".
NOTE: Use only DOT or ASME code containers designed for gas storage. Close valve after each use and when
empty.
STANDARD VALVE CONNECTIONS FOR U.S. AND CANADA: Use the proper CGA cr~nnections, .DO NOT
USE ADAPTERS

PROTECTIVE~PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices
indicated in section 6 (Accidental Release Measures). Make certain application equipment is locked and tagged-
out safely. Always use product in areas where adequate ventilation is provided.
[ 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS. PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION AND. ENGINEERING CONTROLS; Use with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation
preferred, because it prevents chemical dispersion into the work place by eliminating it at its source. If
appropriate, install automatic monitoring equipment to detect the level of oxygen.
RESPIRA'IORY PROTECTION: Maintain oxygen levels above 19.5% in the workplace, Use supplied air
respiratory protection if oxygen levels are below 19.5% or during emergency response to a release of Nitrogen.
If respiratory protection is required, follow the requirements of the Federal OSHA Respiratory Protection
Standard (29 CFR 1910.134), ar equivalent State standards.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses.
HAND PROTECTION: V~ar gloves when handling cylinders of Nitrogen. Otherwise, wear glove protection
appropriate to the specific operation for which Nitrogen is used.
BODY PROTECTION: Use body protection appropriate for task. Safety shoes are recommended when handling
cylinders.

1'1. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICITY DATA: There are no specific toxicology dat~ for Nitrogen. Nitrogen is a simple asphyxiant, which acts
to displace oxyge['~ in the environment.
SUSPECTED CANCER AGENT: Nitrogen is not f~und on the following lists: FEDERAL OSHA Z LIST. NTP,
CAL/OSHA, IARC. therefore it is not considered to be. nor suspected to be a cancer-causing agent by these
agencies.
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT: Not applicable,
SENSITIZATION OF PRODUCT: Nitrogen is not a sensitizer.

ii. TOXI- LOLOGICAI. INFORMATION ntinued) ·
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION: Lisl:ed below is information concerning the effects Nitrogen on
the human reproductive system.
Mu. taqenici .tV: Nitrogen is not expected to cause mutagenic effects in humans.
~E..rnbryoto..xicit¥: Nitrogen is not expected to cause embryotoxic effects in humans,
Terato.qenicity: Nitrogen is not expected to cause teratogenic effects in humans.
.Reproductive Toxicity: Nitrogen is not expected to cause adverse reproductive effects in humans.
A mutaqen is a chemical which causes permanent changes to genetic material (DNA) Sucl? that the changes will
propagate through generation lines. An embrv~to~cin is a chemical which causes damage to a deVeloping embfYo
('i.e. within the first eight weeks of pregnancy in humans), but the damage does not propagate across
generational lines, A terato.qen is a chemical which causes damage to a developing fetus, but the damage does
not propagate across generational lines. A reprq.ductive toxin is any substance which interferes in any way with
the reproductive process.
