Hazards

Routes of entry: inhalation: yes skin: yes ingestion: yes
reports of carcinogenicity: ntp: no iarc: no osha: no
health hazards acute and chronic: helium is odorless and nontoxic but
may produce suffocation by diluting the concentration of oxygen in
air below levels necessary to support life. Extensive tissue damage
or burns can result from expo sure to liquid helium or cold helium
vapors.

explanation of carcinogenicity: helium is a simple asphyxiant and has no
treshold limit value (tlv). Helium not listed as carcinogen by
ntp/iarc/osha.

effects of overexposure: dizziness/nausea/vomiting/loss of
consciousness. Death may result from error in judgement, confusion,
or loss of consciousness which prevents self-rescue. At low oxygen
concentrations unconsciousness and death may occur in seconds
without warning.

First Aid

First aid: assisted respiration and supplemental oxygen should be given
if the victim is not breathing. If cyrogenic liquid or cold
boil-off gas contacts a workers skin or eyes, frozen tissues should
be flooded or soaked with tepid water (105-115f; 41-46c) do not
use hot water. Cyrogenic burns which result in blistering or deeper
tissue freezing should be seen promptly by a physician.
