NO2 can cause delayed pulmonary edema, the effects may be delayed up to 72 hrs. The NO2 also causes rapid olfactory fatigue, similar to H2S. Leak testing of the system and gas monitoring is critical

Dear All, 

 

We have a laboratory planning to run experiments with high concentrations of NO2 gas[2500-5000 ppm]. Please advise on any specific specific safety precautions.  

 

Thanks, 

 

Sandhya
