Safe Handling of Gas Cylinders
Gases commonly used with ICP instruments include argon and nitrogen. The major
hazard associated with these gases is suffocation. This can occur if the gas is
allowed to escape in an enclosed area and displaces the oxygen in the air. These
gases are neither explosive nor combustible.
Note
The permanent installation of gas supplies is the responsibility of the user
and should conform to local safety and building codes.
Contact the gas supplier for a material safety data sheet (MSDS)
containing detailed information on the potential hazards associated
with the gas.
Carefully use, store, and handle compressed gases in cylinders. Gas
cylinders can be hazardous if they are mishandled.
Avertissement: Contactez le fournisseur du gaz afin d'obtenir une fiche
de sécurité de produit (MSDS) contenant des informations détaillées sur
les dangers potentiels associés au gaz.
Soyez prudent lorsque vous utilisez, stockez et manipulez des gaz
comprimés en bouteilles. Les bouteilles de gaz peuvent être dangereuses
si elles ne sont pas manipulées correctement.
