Gas can cause rapid suffocation due to oxygen deficiency. <br /> Store and use with adequate ventilation. Never work on a pressurized system. If there is a <br /> leak, close the cylinder valve. Blow the system down in a safe and environmentally sound <br /> manner in compliance with all federal, state, and local laws; then repair the leak. Never place a <br /> compressed gas cylinder where it may become part of an electrical circuit. <br /> Mixtures. When you mix two or more gases or liquefied gases, you can create additional, <br /> unexpected hazards.
