3 May form explosive mixtures with air. Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. Fatal if inhaled. May cause respiratory irritation. Very toxic to aquatic life. Extended exposure to gas reduces the ability to smell sulfides. Precautionary statements General : Read and follow all SAFETY data Sheets (SDS'S) before use. Read label before use. Keep out of reach of children. If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand. Close valve after each use and when empty. Use equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Do not open valve until connected to equipment prepared for use.

6 Section 3. Composition/information on ingredients Substance/mixture : Substance Chemical name : hydrogen sulfide Other means of : Hydrogen sulfide; Hydrogen sulfide (H2S); Sulfuretted hydrogen; Sewer gas;. identification Hydrosulfuric acid; dihydrogen sulfide Product code : 001029. CAS number/other identifiers CAS number : 7783-06-4. Ingredient name % CAS number hydrogen sulfide 100 7783-06-4. Any concentration shown as a range is to protect confidentiality or is due to batch variation. There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require reporting in this section.

7 Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8. Section 4. First aid measures Description of necessary first aid measures Eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
