Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE: DIRECT CONTACT WITH LIQUID
    PROPANE CAN RESULT IN EYE BURNS. SKIN: DIRECT CONTACT WITH LIQUID
    PROPANE CAN RESULT IN SKIN BURNS (FROSTBITE). INHALTION: THIS
    PRODUCT IS CLASSIFIED AS A SIMPLE ASPHYX IANT. HIGH VAPOR
    CONCENTRATIONS MAY	PRODUCE A REVERSIBLE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
    DEPRESSION (ANESTHESIA). HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS MAY PRODUCE
    ASPHYXIATION. INGESTION: IS NOT LIKELY.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS PRODUCT IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS A
    CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE OR SKIN BURNS (FROSTBITE) AS NOTED
    PREVIOUSLY. EARLY TO MODERATE DEPRESSION MAY BE EVIDENCED BY
    GIDDINESS, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA. IN EXTREME CASES,
    UNCONSCIOUSNESS MAY OCCUR. ASPHYXIATION  MAY BE NOTED BY A SUDDEN
    LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. DEATH MAY QUICKLY FOLLOW.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CAUTION IS RECOMMENDED FOR
    PERSONNEL WITH PRE-EXISTING CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OR CHRONIC
    RESPIRATORY DISEASE.

    EXPLODE IF NOT SUFFICIENTLY COOLED WITH WATER SPRAY.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:WARNING EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE! *ELIMINATE
    SOURCES OF IGNITION. *ISOLATE HAZARD AREA AND DENY ENTRY TO
    UNNECESSARY OR UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL. *STAY UPWIND AND KEEP OUT OF
    LOW AREAS. *NOTIFY LOCAL FIRE DEP ARTMENT. *DISPERSE VAPOR CLOUDS
    WITH WATER SPRAY. *SHUT OFF SOURCE OF LEAK ONLY IF IT CAN BE DONE
    SAFELY.
