| [Flash Point] -79 | |
| [Fire Fighting] Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Extinguishing media: For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or chemical foam. | |
| [Fire Potential] May burn but does not ignite readily. | |
| [Ingestion] Do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid. | |
| [Inhalation] Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Treat for frostbite. | |
| [Eyes] Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. | |
| [Storage] Keep away from heat and flame. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store in direct sunlight. | |
| [Handling] Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not get on skin or in eyes. | |
| [Inhalation] Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing. May cause dyspnea (difficult breathing from shortness of breath). | |
| [Skin] May cause frostbite. | |
| [Eyes] Not available. Contact with liquid may cause severe tissue damage because of frostbit e. | |
| [Ingestion] Aspiration hazard. May cause irritation of the digestive tract. | |
| [Hazards] Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. | |

| [Personal Protection] Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure. | |
| [Respirators] Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary. | |
| [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. | |
