LOW TO MODERATE. IF VOMITING OCCURS 1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE CAN BE
ASPIRATED IN LUNGS CAUSING CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA & SYSTEMIC EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:AVAILABLE DATA INDICATES
1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE NOT CARCINOGENIC IN LAB ANIMALS.
Effects of Overexposure:DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, THROAT IRRITATION, BLOOD
PRESSURE DEPRESSION, CARDIAC SENSITIZATION, VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIA.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:ACUTE & CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE &
RHYTHM DISORDERS OF THE HEART

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED,
ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. CALL PHYSICIAN. SKIN: REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & SHOES. WASH EXPOSED AREA WITH SOAP & WATER.
WASH CONT AMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. EYES: FLUSH EYES
IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS, CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
CONTACT PHYSICIAN OR EMERG ENCY MEDIACL FACILITY IMMEDIATELY. NOTE
TO PHYSICIAN: ADRENALIN SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN TO PERSONS
OVEREXPOSED TO 1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE.

Extinguishing Media:WATER, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED
POSITIVE-PRESSURE BREATHING APPARATUS, DUE TO THERMAL DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS & TO AVOID SKIN CONTACT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONCENTRATED VAPORS CAN BE IGNITED BY
HIGH INTENSITY IGNITION SOURCE.

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA, VENTILATE & AVOID BREATHING
VAPORS. DIKE AREA TO CONTAIN SPILL. IF SPILL OCCURS INDOORS, TURN
OFF A/C & HEATING SYSTEM TO PREVENT VAPORS FROM CONTAMINATING
BUILDING. CLEAN/MOP UP AREA O R USE ABSORBENT & PLACE IN CLOSED
CONTAINERS FOR DISPOSAL. AVOID CONTAMINATION OF GROUND & SURFACE
WATERS. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER. RQ IS 1000 LB.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE LABELED & SEALED CONTAINERS IN
COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA. PREVENT WATER OR MOIST AIR FROM
ENTERING STORAGE TANKS OR CONTAINERS. DO NOT CUT OR WELD ON EMPTY
OR FULL DRUMS. ALUMINUM EQUIPMEN T SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR STORAGE
OR TRANSFER.
Other Precautions:VAPORS HEAVIER THAN AIR & COLLECT IN LOW AREAS. DO
NOT ENTER CONFINED AREAS LIKE TANKS/PITS W/O FOLLOWING PROPER
PROCEDURE. CONTACT WITH ALUMINUM PARTS IN PRESSURIZED FLUID SYSTEM
MAY CAUSE VIOLENT RE ACTIONS. CONSULT EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER. DO
NOT REMOVE/DEFACE LABEL. DO NOT REUSE DRUM WITHOUT RECYC
LING/RECONDITIONING.

Respiratory Protection:WHERE VAPOR CONCENTRATION EXCEEDS 350 PPM, A
NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED ORGANIC VAPOR RESPIRATOR IS ACCEPTABLE. A
NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OR AIR LINE
RESPIRATOR, WITH FULL FACE PIECE, IS REQUIRED FOR VAPOR
CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE 1000 PPM & FOR SPILLS AND/OR EMERGENCIES.
FOLLOW ANY APPLICABLE RESPIRATOR USE STANDARDS OR REGULATIONS.
Ventilation:DO NOT USE IN CLOSED OR CONFINED SPACE. OPEN DOORS AND/OR
WINDOWS. USE VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW 350 PPM
Protective Gloves:SOLVENT RESISTANT SUCH AS VITON, POLYVINYL ALCOHOL OR
EQUIVALENT
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES. NO CONTACTS. CHEMICAL GOGGLES &/OR FACE
SHIELDS IF SPLASHING
Other Protective Equipment:SOLVENT RESISTANT BOOTS, APRON, HEADGEAR
AND/OR FACE SHIELD SHOULD BE WORN IF SPLASHING IS POSSIBLE. SAFETY
SHOWER & EYEWASH STATION.
Work Hygienic Practices:AVOID SKIN CONTACT & AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. DO
NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE IN WORK AREA. WASH HANDS PRIOR TO EATING,
DRINKING OR USING RESTROOM. MONITOR EXPOSURE LEVELS REGULARLY.

Toxicological Information:CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURES TO
1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE & THIS PRODUCT HAVE CAUSED LIVER TOXIC
EFFECTS IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS. THIS MAY INDICATE TOXICITY TO
HUMANS. OVEREXPOSURE SHOULD BE AVOIDED. STUDIES ON LAB ANIMALS TO
EVALUATE EFFECTS ON REPRODUCTION & FETAL DEVELOPMENT PERFORMED. TWO
OF 3 STUDIES INDICATE NO REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY. THIRD STUDY NOTED
DELAYS IN NORMAL DEVELOPMENT BUT THESE DELAYS DID N OT AFFECT LATER
LIFE. STUDIES IN LAB ANIMALS HAVE SHOWN 1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE IN
AEROSOL FORM TO BE MORE ACUTELY TOXIC THAN 1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE
