    This document provides information about acetylene gas, including: - It is extremely flammable and may explode at pressures over 15 psig or when shocked. - Exposure can cause asphyxiation by displacing oxygen in air. High concentrations may cause dizziness, loss of alertness, and death. - In case of inhalation exposure, move the individual to fresh air and provide artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. - Acetylene is soluble in some organic solvents but slightly soluble in water. It is a colorless gas with a garlic-like odor.

    DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE


    ACETYLENE
    C2H2

    A-Typical Composition
    Acetylene 100%

    B-Physiological Effects and Health Information


    Exposure No OSHA exposure standard or Threshold Limit Value has been established
    Standard for this material.
    Eye This material is not expected to cause eye irritation. (See note below)
    Irritation
    Skin This material is not expected to cause skin irritation. (See note below)
    Irritation
    Systemic Acetylene is classified as a simple asphyxiant. High concentrations in air
    Effects may
    produce asphyxia by contributing to oxygen deficiency. Signs and
    symptoms
    which precede asphyxia may include rapid respiration, loss of mental
    alertness
    and coordination, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. Continued exposure
    may result
    in prostration, convulsions, coma, and death.
    Note : The data and conclusions given here are from the supplier and the
    scientific literature.

    C-Emergency and First Aid Procedures


    Eye This material is not expected to be irritating to the eyes.
    Contact
    Skin This material is not expected to be irritating to the skin.
    Contact
    Inhalation If there are signs or symptoms of overexposure to this material (ad described in
    Section B-Systemic Effects), move the individual to an uncontaminated area.
    If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration and get medical attention.
