environment. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
6.2 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Small spill This material contains no more than 40grams of carbon dioxide, in case of spill, allow carbon dioxide to vent naturally. Do not handle the
cylinder without protective gloves as it may causefrostbite.
Large spill This material contains no more than 40grams of carbon dioxide, in case of spill, allow carbon dioxide to vent naturally. Do not handle the
cylinder without protective gloves as it may cause frostbite.
