Toxic Gas Hazards
Many of the gases used in the Gasguard system
could cause personal INJURY OR DEATH at
very low concentrations.
Many of these gases provide no physical warning signs (i.e. coughing, throat
irritation, burning sensations, shortness of breath) to alert personnel of exposure to
toxic levels.
Personal protective equipment required for use with toxic gases is detailed in
Section 1.9 of this manual.
A list of most of the toxic gases used in the GASGUARD system follows:
Ammonia
Hydrogen fluoride
Arsine
Hydrogen sulfide
Boron trichloride
Methyl chloride
