Material Safety Data Sheet

Propane does not have health effects other than the danger of frostbite or asphyxiation. The National Propane Gas Association has a generic MSDS available online here. (Issued 1996)


Except where noted otherwise, data relate to standard ambient temperature and pressure.

gollark: When people decide to violate that by identifying you in the real world, that is problematic.
gollark: One of the good things about the internet is the ability to have pseudonyms and not be connected to your real-world identity, which allows (some amount of) safety and helps allow freedom of thought.
gollark: And this is probably some weird semantic argument and/or ethical thing more than something you can "logically prove" either way.
gollark: Looking up and compiling information on people for the purpose of identifying them without their consent is *stalkery behavior*, if not doxxing or some sort of criminal thing, even if that information is theoretically public and they *allegedly* haven't released/misused it.
