IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION: OXYGEN IS REMOVED FROM AIR BY WET ACTIVATED CARBON.
Oxygen may be rapidly reduced to a hazardous level in closed or partially closed tanks, receptacles or other enclosed space containing carbon. When entering any enclosed space, regardless of its contents, follow recommended safety procedures (see MCA Safety Guide SG-10, "Recommended Safe Practices and Procedures, Entering Tanks and Other Enclosed Spaces", Mfrg. Chem. Assoc., 1825 Connecticut Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C., 20009).
