    This material safety data sheet provides information on compressed natural gas fuel. The document summarizes that the fuel is composed primarily of methane (>97%), is flammable, and can displace oxygen which poses an inhalation hazard. Personal protective equipment including respiratory protection and fire retardant clothing is recommended when handling the fuel. In the event of an exposure, first aid measures include removing the victim to fresh air and flushing eyes with water.
