Toxicological Properties :

                • Nitrogen is nontoxic but the liberation of a large amount in a confined area could

                    displace the amount of oxygen in air necessary to support life.

                • Nitrogen is not listed in the LARC, NTP or by OSHA as a carcinogen or potential

                    carcinogen.

                • Persons in ill health where such illness would be aggravated by exposure to

                     nitrogen should not be allowed to work with or handle this product.
