| [Flash Point] -73 | |
| [Fire Fighting] Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. | |
| [Upper exp. limit] 38.7 | |
| [Lower exp. limit] 8.4 | |
| [Fire Potential] Very dangerous, via heat, flames (sparks) or oxidizers. | |
| [Ingestion] These substances may cause frostbite to the upper airway and gastrointestinal tract after ingestion. Administer oxygen and manage airway as clinically indicated. Emesis, activated charcoal, and gastric lavage are not recommended. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove victim to fresh air; enforce bed rest; administer oxygen for 30 min. of every hour for 6 hours, even if no symptoms appear. | |
| [Skin] If frostbite has occured, apply warm water and treat burn. | |
| [Eyes] Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility. Ophthamologic consultation should be obtained in any symptomatic patients. | |
| [Storage] Store in a cool, dry location -- away from incompatible materials. Keep container tightly closed. | |
| [Handling] All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Inhalation] Pulmonary irritation, bronchial constriction, cough, dyspnea, and chest tightness may develop after inhalation. Chronic pulmonary hyperreactivity may occur. Adult respiratory distress syndrome has been reported following acute inhalational exposures. Pulmonary edema is an autopsy finding in fatal cases. | |
| [Skin] Dermal contact may result in defatting, irritation or contact dermatitis. Severe frostbite has been reported as an effect of freon exposure. Injection causes transient pain, erythema and edema. | |
| [Eyes] EYES - Eye irritation occurs with ambient exposure. Frostbite of the lids may be severe. NOSE - Nasal irritation occurs with ambient exposure. THROAT - Irritation occurs. Frostbite of the lips, tongue, buccal mucosa and hard palate developed in a man after deliberate inhalation. | |
| [Ingestion] Nausea may develop. Ingestion of a small amount of trichlorofluoromethane resulted in necrosis and perforation of the stomach in one patient. | |
| [Hazards] Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spreadalong ground. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. | |

| [Personal Protection] Goggles; rubber gloves. | |
| [Respirators] Self-contained breathing apparatus. | |
| [Exposure Effects] Headache, dizziness, and disorientation are common. Cerebral edema may be found on autopsy. Dichlorodifluoromethane was not teratogenic in rats and rabbits. <br>The reproductive effects of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane were studied in rats. No adverse effects on reproductive performance was noted or on the development, maturation or reproductive performance of up to two successive generations. | |
