Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. See Notes.
ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Exposure Routes: inhalation, skin and/or eye contact (liquid) Symptoms: Irritation respiratory system; tremor, hyperexcitability, anesthesia; liquid: frostbite Target Organs: respiratory system, central nervous system (NIOSH, 2016)
FIRST AID: Inhalation--Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention ... Skin--ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Eyes--First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Shut off supply; if not possible and no risk to surroundings, let the fire burn itself out; in other cases extinguish with water spray ... Keep cylinder cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.
Excerpt from ERG Guide 115 [Gases - Flammable (Including Refrigerated Liquids)]: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Will form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. CAUTION: Hydrogen (UN1049), Deuterium (UN1957), Hydrogen, refrigerated liquid (UN1966) and Methane (UN1971) are lighter than air and will rise. Hydrogen and Deuterium fires are difficult to detect since they burn with an invisible flame. Use an alternate method of detection (thermal camera, broom handle, etc.) Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Cylinders exposed to fire may vent and release flammable gas through pressure relief devices. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. (ERG, 2016)
Shut off supply; if not possible and no risk to surroundings, let the fire burn itself out. In other cases extinguish with water spray. In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.
Evacuate danger area! Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. NEVER direct water jet on liquid.

Evacuate danger area! Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. NEVER direct water jet on liquid. (Extra personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus).
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding) if in liquid state. Use non-sparking handtools. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

1-propyne is a colorless liquefied gas with a sweet odor. mp: -104°C, bp: -23.1°C. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, chloroform and benzene. Moderately toxic by inhalation. Used as a specialty fuel. Denser than air. Vapors may ignite at distant sources of ignition and flash back.

Dangerous, when exposed to heat or flameThe gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated.1-PROPYNE is highly flammable. The liquid material in cylinders contains about 30% propadiene. Detonation may occur at 95° C [MCA Case History No. 632]. Reacts exothermically with many oxidizing agents and with some reducing agents as well. May react with silver, copper, and mercury salts in aqueous solution to give explosive acetylides. Incompatible with brass that contains more than 65% copper, with other copper-containing alloys, with Monel metal, with neoprene, polyethylene, and, to a lesser extent, with Teflon. May enflame in air in the presence of Co, Hg, Hg salts, K, Ag, Ag salts, RbH, CsH, halogens, HNO3, NaH. Can decompose explosively when compressed to 4.5 to 5.6 atmospheres. Moderate explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame or by spontaneous chemical reaction. Has been known to decompose explosively at high pressures and moderate temperatures in the absence of air.

The substance is irritating to the respiratory tract. Rapid evaporation of the liquid may cause frostbite. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness.

On loss of containment this substance can cause suffocation by lowering the oxygen content of the air in confined areas.
A Rhodococcus species isolated from soil was able to use 1-propyne(1).
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for 1-propyne(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.94(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
The Koc of 1-propyne is estimated as 77(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.94(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-propyne is expected to have high mobility in soil.

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

High concentrations in the air cause a deficiency of oxygen with the risk of unconsciousness or death.Check oxygen content before entering area.After use for welding, turn valve off; regularly check tubing, etc., and test for leaks with soap and water.The measures mentioned in section PREVENTION are applicable to production, filling of cylinders, and storage of the gas.
