Description of first aid measures
General adviceMost important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing mediaSpecial hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Carbon oxides Combustible.
Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air on intense heating.
Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Advice for firefighters
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Further information
Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
NFPA 704
| HEALTH | 1 | Exposure would cause irritation with only minor residual injury (e.g. acetone, sodium bromate, potassium chloride) | |
| FIRE | 0 | Materials that will not burn under typical fire conditions, including intrinsically noncombustible materials such as concrete, stone, and sand. Materials that will not burn in air when exposed to a temperature of 820 °C (1,500 °F) for a period of 5 minutes.(e.g. Carbon tetrachloride) | |
| REACT | 0 | Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water (e.g. helium,N2) | |
| SPEC. HAZ. |
