Answer:
INHALATION EFFECTS: Product is a simple asphyxiant. Effects of oxygen deficiency resulting from
simple asphyxiants may include: rapid breathing, diminished mental alertness, impaired muscular coordination,
faulty judgement, depression of all sensations, emotional instability, and fatigue. As asphyxiation progresses,
nausea, vomiting, prostration, and loss of consciousness may result, eventually leading to convulsions, coma,
and death.

First Aid Measures
EYES: None required for gas. If frostbite is suspected, flush eyes with cool water for 15 minutes and obtain
immediate medical attention.
SKIN: None required for gas. For frostbite, immerse skin in lukewarm water. DO NOT USE HOT WATER.
Obtain medical attention.
INGESTION: Ingestion is not anticipated.
INHALATION: PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF
OVEREXPOSURE. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS. Victims should be assisted to an uncontaminated area and inhale fresh air.
Quick removal from the contaminated area is most important. Unconscious persons should be moved to an
uncontaminated area, and if breathing has stopped, administer artificial resuscitation and supplemental oxygen.
Further treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
Helium is not really harmful, but your body cannot use it to live. helium displaces oxygen in a room and eventually it get harder to breathe.

Get some fresh air. Fill in a ventilated place.
