16. OTHER INFORMATION <br /> INFORMATION ABOUT DOT-39 NRC (Non-Refillable Cylinder) PRODUCTS <br /> DOT 39 cylinders ship as hazardous materials when full. Once the cylinders are relieved of pressure (empty) <br /> they are not considered hazardous material or waste. Residual gas in this type of cylinder is not an issue <br /> because toxic gas mixtures are prohibited. Calibration gas mixtures typically packaged in these cylinders are <br /> Nonflammable n.o.s., UN 1956. A small percentage of calibration gases packaged in DOT 39 cylinders are <br /> flammable or oxidizing gas mixtures. <br /> For disposal of used DOT-39 cylinders, it is acceptable to place them in a landfill if local laws permit. Their <br /> disposal is no different than that employed with other DOT containers such as spray paint cans, household <br /> aerosols, or disposable cylinders of propane (for camping, torch etc.). When feasible, we recommended <br /> recycling for scrap metal content. Air Liquide America will do this for any customer that wishes to return <br /> cylinders to us prepaid. All that is required is a phone call to make arrangements so we may anticipate arrival. <br /> Scrapping cylinders involves some preparation before the metal dealer may accept them. We perform this <br /> operation as a service to valued customers who want to participate. <br /> MIXTURES: When two or more gases or liquefied gases are mixed, their hazardous properties may combine to <br /> create additional, unexpected hazards. Obtain and evaluate the safety information for each component before <br /> you produce the mixture. Consult an Industrial Hygienist or other trained person when you make your safety <br /> evaluation of the end product. Remember, gases and liquids have properties which can cause serious injury or <br /> death. <br /> Further information about the handling of compressed gases can be found in the following pamphlets published <br /> by: Compressed Gas Association Inc.
