Additional Information:
|
Nitrous Oxide is a nontoxic, colorless, nonflammable
liquefied compressed gas packaged in cylinders
under its own vapor pressure. This product can
cause rapid suffocation when concentrations are
sufficient to reduce oxygen levels below 19.5%.
Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) may
be required. It is also an oxidizer and will support
and vigorously accelerate combustion. The misuse
of nitrous oxide can cause death by reducing the
amount of oxygen necessary to support life. Nitrous
Oxide abuse can impair an individual¡¯s ability
to make and implement life sustaining decisions.
