Warming Brings Poisonous Ozone Down to Earth

This is from the Material Data sheet

Symptoms of Exposure:
Breathing high concentrations (greater than 75 molar percent) causes symptoms of
hyperoxia which includes cramps, nausea, dizziness, hypothermia, amblyopia, respiratory
difficulties, bradycardia, fainting spells, and convulsions capable of leading to death. For
additional information on hyperoxia, see Compressed Gas Association’s Pamphlet P-14.

Toxicological Properties:
• The property is that hyperoxia which leads to pneumonia. Concentrations
between 25 and 75 molar percent present a risk of inflammation of organic matte
in the body.

• Persons in ill health where such illness would be aggravated by exposure to
oxygen should not be allowed to work with or handle this product.

Recommended First Aid Treatment:
Prompt medical attention is mandatory in all cases of overexposure to oxygen. Rescue
personnel should be cognizant of extreme fire hazard associated with oxygen-rich
atmosphere.

Conscious persons should be assisted to an uncontaminated area and breathe fresh air.
They should be kept warm and quiet. The physician should be informed that the victim is
experiencing hyperoxia.
Unconscious persons should be moved to an uncontaminated area and given assisted
respiration. When breathing has been restored, treatment should be as above. Continues
treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.

SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
Evacuate all personnel from affected area. Use appropriate protective equipment. If leak
is in user’s equipment, be certain to purge piping with an inert gas to attempting repairs. If
leak is in container or container valve, contact your closest supplier location or call the
emergency telephone number listed herein.
Waste disposal methods:
Do not attempt to dispose of waste or unused quantities. Return in the shipping container
properly labeled, with any valve outlet plugs or caps secured and valve protection cap in
place to your supplier. For emergency disposal assistance, contact your closest supplier
location or call the emergency telephone number listed herein.

SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection (Specify type): Positive pressure air line with mask or self-
contained breathing apparatus should be available for emergency use.
Ventilation: See Local Exhaust
Local Exhaust: To prevent accumulation above 25 molar percent.
Protective Gloves: As required; any material
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or glasses
Other Protective Equipment: Safety shoes, safety shower

Does this mean we should be afraid of and ban this substance? Actually I think it should be banned in Washington DC

The scare mongering against chemicals is getting crazy. I have an idea lets ban ALL chemicals starting with those that are in the Congress and the White House. For those who are gullible, humans and the entire Earth are made of 100% chemicals and ALL are hazardous in one way or another even the Oxygen we breathe and the Water we drink to sustain life.
