UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: The concentrated agent when applied
to fire
can produce toxic by-products specifically hydrogen halides, which can
cause damage.
Avoid inhalation of these materials by evacuating and ventilating the
area.

4. HEALTH
HAZARD DATA
GENERAL INFORMATION:
•
When using the material for prolonged periods in filling or servicing
operations,
PERFORM THESE ACTIVITIES IN A WELL-VENTILATED
AREA.
• Fire extinguishers filled with
this material should be used in enclosed areas with a
net room volume of at least
140 cubic feet per pound of Halotron I in the
extinguisher.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
• By inhalation: Exposure may
cause central nervous system effects such as
dizziness, drowsiness, anesthesia, or unconsciousness. Anesthetic effects may
occur at concentrations of 5000 ppm (v/v) or above. At concentrations of 20,000 ppm
or higher, HCFC-123 may cause increased sensitivity of the heart to
adrenaline which
might cause irregular heartbeats and possibly ventricular fibrillation or
death.
• To the Eyes:
Irritation and tearing may result from the cooling effect of HCFC-123
evaporation. Due to
the ability to of HCFC-123 to dissolve fats, contact
should be avoided.
• To the Skin:
Evaporative cooling can result in chilling sensations or frostbite
effects.
Repeated exposure to the skin can result in dermatitis. Due to the
ability
to of HCFC-123 to dissolve fats, contact should be
avoided.
• By Ingestion: Not likely to occur in industrial use. Highly volatile
liquid.
•
LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN: ( ) YES (X)
NO
TIME WEIGHTED EXPOSURE LIMITS (For persons regularly exposed to
material)
•
Workplace Environmental Exposure Level, WEEL (AIHA) (8 hrs.):
50 ppm (v/v), based
on the primary component (HCFC-123).
TOXIC PROPERTIES OF COMPONENTS: Acute toxicity is
low.
• For
2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (CAS # 306-83-2):
LC50 (4 hr.): 3.2%
(32,000 ppm), (Inhalation)
Oral Approximate Lethal Dose (ALD): 9 g/kg (body weight)
Cardiotoxic LOAEL (Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level):
2%
Cardiotoxic NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level):
1%
Toxicological testing was performed on HCFC-123 by the Program for
Alternative
Fluorocarbon Testing (PAFT).
Data from acute toxicity studies in this program
demonstrated that HCFC-123 has very low toxicity by skin application or
inhalation.
• For the proprietary gas
mixture:
The toxic effects of the proprietary gas mixture in the absence of
extreme
temperature are primarily its ability to function as a simple asphyxiant
(i.e.
displace oxygen).
OTHER
TOXICITY INFORMATION:
Animal
Studies: For 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (CAS
#306-83-2):
Long-term exposure in a two year study (6 hours/day, 5 days/week) at
concentrations of 300, 1000 and
5000 ppm decreased body weight, serum cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose,
and increased urinary fluoride concentrations in rats . However, survival was significantly
improved in all exposed groups compared to control animals. Inhalation of 300, 1000 and
5000 ppm caused an increase in benign tumors of the liver, pancreas, and
testis. Tumors occurred late in
life and none were assessed to be life threatening. Tumor formation is thought to occur
through non-genotoxic mechanisms associated with a peroxisome proliferating
potential or with hormonal disturbances in older rats.

NAME: HALOTRON I PRE-SAT BASE
Exposure to dogs, guinea pigs or monkeys at 1000 ppm or greater for 6
hrs./day, 7 days per week, for a total of 3 weeks induced slight or mild liver
damage with altered enzyme levels.
Rodent studies indicate HCFC-123 is easily absorbed via inhalation. It distributes in all organs, more so in
the liver. About 90% of inhaled
HCFC-123 is eliminated via the lungs unchanged. The remaining amount in metabolized to
trifluoroacetic acid and excreted in the urine. Small amounts of trifluoroacetylated
proteins were detected in rats.
HCFC-123 did not affect reproductive performance in rats or harm the
unborn animals in rats or rabbits at 5000 and 10,000
ppm.
HCFC-123 was inactive in several test-tube genetic damage studies except
the human lymphocyte chromosome aberration assay. HCFC-123 is also inactive in live animal
genetic damage studies. Therefore,
it is not considered genotoxic.
RECOMMENDED FIRST AID FOR OVEREXPOSURE:
(Use
breathing apparatus if rescuing in an area with high
concentration)
Inhalation: Remove person to area with fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if
necessary. Contact a
physician.
Skin
Contact: Apply large amounts of water, contact a
physician if irritation occurs.
Eye
Contact: Apply large amounts of water, contact a
physician.
Ingestion: Induction of vomiting may pose a hazard. Contact a
physician.
Note to
Physician: Do not administer
adrenaline or similar drugs.

PROTECTION INFORMATION
• Wear protective clothing when
handling a leak.
•
Neoprene, PVC or PVA gloves should be worn when
handling.
•
Protective eyeglasses and protective shoes should be worn when
handling.
•
Respiratory protection is not normally needed, however, if handled in
enclosed spaces
where applicable exposure limits will be exceeded, a Self Contained
Breathing
Apparatus (SCBA) should be used.
•
When using the material for prolonged periods in filling or servicing
operations,
PERFORM THESE ACTIVITIES IN A WELL-VENTILATED
AREA.
6. SPILL,
LEAKAGE, DISPOSAL, AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
• In the event of a spill, allow
for adequate ventilation, and do not re-enter an area
without an SCBA until adequate ventilation is
accomplished.
• For spills that might
result in overexposure, evacuate the area and use protective gear
and SCBA’s.
• Avoid leakage into
waterways because HCFC-123 is damaging to vegetation.
• Do not expose storage
containers to fire, as uncontrolled pressure releases may result.
• The HCFC-123 vapors are
heavier than air, therefore use caution when releases occur in
low lying areas where concentrated vapors may accumulate.
•
Recommended 1 Hr. Emergency Exposure Limit: 1000 ppm (v/v) on the same basis as
above.
•
Recommended 1 Min. Emergency Exposure Limit: 2500 ppm (v/v) on the same basis as
above.
WASTE
DISPOSAL:
Observe all federal, state, and local regulations for products of this
type when accomplishing disposal.
