Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
nausea, vomiting, dizziness, suffocation, kidney damage, liver
damage LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information on significant adverse
effects SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation (possibly
severe) LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information on significant adverse
effects EYE CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation, blurred
vision LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information on significant adverse
effects INGESTION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: frostbite LONG TERM
EXPOSURE: no information on significant adverse effects
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: If frostbite or
freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water
(105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm water is not
available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Get immediate
medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical
attention. INGESTION: If a large amount is swallowed, get medical
attention.

Fire Fighting

Flash Point:-18 F (-28 C) (gas)
Lower Limits:8.4%
Upper Limits:38.7%
Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool
containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles
until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the
following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard
area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in
case of rising sound from venting safety device or any
discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank
truck: Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Let burn unless
leak can be stopped immediately. For smaller tanks or cylinders,
extinguish and isolate from other flammables. Evacuation radius:
800 meters (1/2 mile).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. The vapor is heavier
than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources
and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive.

Accidental Release

Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
of ignition. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce
vapors with water spray. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate
hazard area and deny entry. Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate
closed spaces before entering.
Neutralizing Agent:

Handling

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards.
Other Precautions:

Exposure Controls

Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
warning properties before use. For Unknown Concentrations or
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air
respirator with full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or
other positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance
with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
Supplemental Safety and Health
TRIFLUOROCHLOROETHYLENE: No occupational exposure limits established.
