| Explanation of Carcinogenity |
FREON 113 IS NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY IARC, NTP OR OSHA |
| Symptoms of Overexposure |
EYES: MILD IRRITATION, TEARING, BLURRED VISION. SKIN: MILD IRRITATION, DRYNESS. INHALATION/INGESTION: TEMPORARY NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, CONFUSION, INCOORDINATION, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. ASPIRATION: COUGHING, GASPING, CHOKING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH |
| Medical Cond. Aggrevated by Exposure |
SKIN DISEASE - FREON 113 IS A DEFATTING AGENT AND CAN CAUSE DERMATITIS ON PROLONGED EXPOSURE. PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN DISORDERS MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THIS AGENT |
| Emergency/First Aid Procedures |
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. EYE/SKIN: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION PRESISTS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. ORAL: GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING AS THE HAZARD OF ASPIRATING INTO THE LUNGS IS TOO GREAT |
| Steps if Material Released/Spilled |
