R744 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Refrigerant Cylinder

High concentrations of R744 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Refrigerant Cylinder may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility or consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a doctor. Apply artificial respiration if breathing stopped. In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of
mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a doctor. Apply artificial respiration if breathing stopped.
Low concentrations of R744 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Refrigerant Cylinder cause increased respiration and headache.
