Residents with individual medical gas cylinders are not required to store the cylinders in an enclosure, but the cylinders must be secured to prevent tipping. In addition, high-pressure medical gas cylinders should be painted according to a standard color-coding system that corresponds to the gases stored within--for instance, green for oxygen, blue for nitrous oxide, and yellow for air; and containers must be dedicated to medical use to prevent reuse of industrial gas containers for medical purposes--a practice that can lead to contamination by cleaning the containers with solvent residues. Following the opening of the Khartoum refinery, the price of gasoline was reduced considerably throughout the country and the price of butane gas cylinders, which Sudanese use for cooking, dropped from $5. |
