Carbon Oxysulfide Safety Information Overview of Risks Health Hazard: Carbon oxysulfide can cause mild irritation to the respiratory system and may affect the central nervous system. In cases of severe exposure, it can lead to convulsions and, in extreme cases, death due to respiratory failure. Environmental Hazard: This substance is harmful to the environment and can contaminate water sources, posing a risk to aquatic life and ecosystems. Explosion Hazard: Carbon oxysulfide is flammable and toxic. It can form explosive mixtures with air under certain conditions, making it dangerous in enclosed spaces or near ignition sources. First Aid Measures If inhaled, immediately move the affected person to a safe area with fresh air. Ensure the airway remains open. If the person is having difficulty breathing, provide oxygen if available. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration right away and seek immediate medical attention. Firefighting Procedures When carbon oxysulfide is involved in a fire, hazardous combustion products such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur oxides may be released. Firefighters should wear full protective gear, including gas masks and full-body fire-resistant suits. They should approach the fire from the upwind direction. If the gas source can be shut off, do so immediately. However, if it cannot be stopped, do not attempt to extinguish the flame at the leak point, as this could lead to an explosion. Move any unaffected containers to an open area if possible. Use water spray to cool the containers involved in the fire until the flames are completely out. Extinguishing agents suitable for this type of fire include dry chemical powder and carbon dioxide. Water and foam should not be used, as they may worsen the situation or cause further hazards. Emergency Response for Leaks In case of a leak, evacuate all personnel from the contaminated area and move them to a safe location upwind. Establish a 150-meter isolation zone and restrict access. Remove all potential ignition sources. Emergency responders should wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus (SCBA) and anti-static clothing. Approach the site from the upwind side. If possible, try to stop the leak and cover nearby drains with industrial coatings or absorbent materials to prevent gas from entering the sewer system. If safe to do so, use an exhaust fan or install a suitable nozzle to direct the leaking gas into the open air for controlled burning. Once the leak is under control, the affected container should be properly inspected, repaired, and only reused after confirming it is safe.
