| Health Hazards - Acute and Chronic |
CHLOROFLUOROCARBON MATLS HAVE PRODUCED SENSIT OF MYOCARDIUM TO EPINEPHRINE IN LAB ANIMALS & COULD HAVE SIMILAR EFT IN HUMANS. ADRENOMETICS (E.G., EPINEPHRINE) MAY BE CONTRAINDICATED EXCEPT FOR LIFE-SUSTAINING USES IN HUMANS ACUTELY/CHRONICALLY EXPOSED TO CFCS (FP N). ACUTE:INHAL:MAY AFFECT RESP/ (EFTS OF OVEREXP) |

| Symptoms of Overexposure |
HLTH HAZ:CARDIOVASCULAR SYS. MAY CAUSE TINGLING SENSATION, HUMMING IN EARS, APPREHENSION & SLURRED SPEECH, DECREASE IN CONSCIOUSNESS W/AMNESIA, IRREGULAR HEART BEAT, EYE IRRIT, CNS EFTS. SNIFFING OF FLUOROCARBON PROPELLANTS FOR THEIR INTOX EFTS HAS PRODUCED OVER 100 DEATHS. FLUOROCARBONS EXHIBIT VERY TOX (ING 2) |
| Medical Cond. Aggrevated by Exposure |
INDIVIDUALS W/HEART OR RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEALTH HAZARDS |
| Emergency/First Aid Procedures |
INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. KEEP WARM & AT REST. IF BRTHG IS DFCLT (LABORED), GIVE O*2. IF NOT BRTHG, GIVE ARTIF RESP & CHECK FOR PULSE. IF NO PULSE START CPR. DO NOT GIVE STIMULANTS (ADRENALINE, EPINEPHRINE/HAND HELD ASTHMA AEROSOLS). CALL 911 (IF AVAILABLE) & MD. KEEP PATIENT AT REST FOR 24 HRS AFTER OVEREXPOS. NO LONG TERM EFTS ARE EXPECTED. EYE/SKIN:VAP:FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST (ING 9) |
| Steps if Material Released/Spilled |
KEEP UPWIND. VENTILATE ENCLOSED SPACES UNTIL GAS IS DISPERSED. DO NOT SMOKE OR OPERATE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES IN IMMED VICINITY |
| Neutralizing Agent |

| Waste Disposal Method |
DISPOSAL MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS (FP N). EPA HAZ WASTE# UO75. WHEN REMOVED FROM REFRIDGERATION SYSTEM, MAY BE HAZARDOUS WASTE. CONSULT 40 CFR 261, 262 |
| Handling and Storage Precautions |
NOT BRTH VAP. AVOID CONT W/EYES, SKIN & CLTHG. STORE IN COOL PLACE (<120F). STORE & USE W/ADEQ VENT. LIQUIFIED, COMPRESSED GAS. NO |
| Other Precautions |
NOT FOR FOOD/DRUG/COSMETIC USE. NO SMOKING IN AREA OF USE. DO NOT USE IN GENERAL VICINITY OF ARC WELDING, OPEN FLAMES/HOT SURFACES. HEAT AND/OR UV RADIA MAY CAUSE FORMATION OF CHLORIDES, FLUORIDES AND/OR PHOSGENE (FP N) |
| Respiratory Protection |
RESP PROT IS NOT NEEDED IF CONC ARE CONTROLLED. IF CON EXCEED TLV (1000 PPM) USE A NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD RESP FOR ORGANIC VAP. IN VERY HIGH CONC, SCBA SHOULD BE USED |
| Ventilation |
LOCAL EXHAUST MAY BE NECESSARY TO REDUCE CONC BELOW TLV (1000 PPM) |
| Protective Gloves |
CLOTH-LINED RUBBER GLOVES |
| Eye Protection |
CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES (FP N) |
| Other Protective Equipment |
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD MIN EXPOSED SKIN & INCLUDE FULL FACE SHIELD IF SPLASHING IS POSSIBLE |
