Explanation:

The main danger with CO2 extinguishers is that they will cause upset in a confined space. They starve a fire of oxygen, but in a confined space they'll also reduce the amount of oxygen available to breathe.

Direct contact of the skin with the pressurized CO2 can cause frostbite.

Damage to the eyes can also occur with direct exposure.

Inhalation of concentrated CO2 causes the same symptoms as not having enough oxygen, including difficulty breathing, dizziness, and loss of consciousness. Anyone exposed to concentrated CO2 should seek fresh air immediately.
