OXYGEN Soap solution

Material used for lines must not exceed 63% copper content. High atmospheric concentrations, e.g. In poorly ventilated spaces, can cause oxygen deficiency, with risk of unconsciousness. Sublimation point and melting point are for pure acetylene (not solution in acetone). Close valve when not In use check hoses and lines regularly test for leaking connections with soap solution. Use cylinders with porous filler. Use special fittings. 

Flush contaminated clothing with water (fire hazard). Many substances which are non-combustible in air (e.g. trichloroethylene, steel) will bum in pure oxygen. Even a slight rise in atmospheric oxygen level increases the flammability of all substances considerably.

Remove casualty to fresh air and decontaminate with soap and water. Provide oxygen for respiratory distress. If the eyes of the casualty complains of eye irritation, irrigate with water or 0.9% saline solution for at least 15 minutes. If metal carbonyls were used, irrigate open wounds with water or 0.9% saline solution for at least 10 minutes.

Decontamination and Treatment Administer oxygen and remove the animal from the toxic environment. For ocular exposures, flush eyes with copious amounts of tepid 0.9% saline or water for at least 15 min. Wash all animals three times with either soap and water, dilute bleach solution (1 10 with water), ethanol, or a tincture of green soap (Cancio, 1993). Towelettes impregnated with alkaline chloramine and phenol are used by the mihtary (M291 Skin Decontaminating Kit, Rohm and Haas). 

FIGURE 13.19 The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by the iodide ion. A few drops of liquid soap have been added to the solution to dramatize the evolution of oxygen gas. (Some of the iodide ions are oxidized to molecular iodine, which then reacts with iodide ions to form the brown triiodide ion, l. j...
