DRY ICE CAN BE DANGEROUS IF HANDLED, STORED OR USED INCORRECTLY.
PLEASE FOLLOW ALL APPROPRIATE SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR HANDLING,
STORAGE AND USE.
HANDLING:
THE TEMPERATURE OF DRY ICE IS -109.3°F (-79°C) AND IS COLD ENOUGH TO
FREEZE SKIN CELLS AND CAUSE INJURIES SIMILAR TO A BURN. ALWAYS
HANDLE DRY ICE WITH CARE AND WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES OR USE A
PROTECTIVE CLOTH SUCH AS A TOWEL. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN, MOUTH,
EYES AND CLOTHING. DRY ICE CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
STORAGE:
STORE DRY ICE IN AN INSULATED CONTAINER (THAT IS NOT AIRTIGHT). AS DRY
ICE SUBLIMATES FROM A SOLID TO CARBON DIOXIDE GAS, IT CAN CAUSE AN
AIRTIGHT CONTAINER TO EXPAND AND POSSIBLY EXPLODE.
VENTILATION:
DRY ICE GIVES OFF CARBON DIOXIDE GAS, WHICH MAY CAUSE DIFFICULTY
BREATHING OR SUFFOCATION. IF DRY ICE HAS BEEN KEPT IN A CLOSED SPACE
SUCH AS A VEHICLE OR ROOM, VENTILATE THE AREA BEFORE ENTERING. IF
YOU HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY BREATHING, LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY. IN A
VEHICLE, TRANSPORT DRY ICE IN THE TRUNK OR WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN TO
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
AIRTIGHT CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE AS DRY ICE SUBLIMATES TO CO
2
.
USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
DO NOT STORE IN CONFINED SPACES.
DO NOT EAT! DRY ICE IS HARMFUL IF EATEN OR SWALLOWED. IF INGESTED,
SEEK MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY.
