Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: oily clear liquid.
Danger! Poison! May be fatal if inhaled. Harmful if swallowed. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory and skin reaction. May cause lung damage. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Target Organs: Kidneys, liver, lungs, eyes, eyes, eyes.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes severe eye irritation. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin: Causes severe skin irritation. May cause sensitization by skin contact.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion may cause colic and death.
Inhalation: May be fatal if inhaled. May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. Causes irritation of the mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract. Inhalation may cause anemia, weak and irregular heart, recurrent asthmatic attacks, bronchitis, pulmonary edema, and possible death.
Chronic: Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately.
Skin: Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask. SPEED IS ESSENTIAL, OBTAIN MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
Notes to Physician: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory or pulmonary function may be at increased risk to the effects of this substance. Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Explosive decomposition may occur under fire conditions. Closed containers may rupture violently when heated.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 4; Flammability: 0; Instability: 3

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not breathe dust, mist, or vapor. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Do not use magnesium, aluminum or their alloys for handling equipment or containers.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use only under a chemical fume hood.

Section 12 - Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Fish: Fathead Minnow: LC50 = 3.72 mg/L; 96 Hr; UnspecifiedFish: Rainbow trout: LC50 = 2.87 mg/L; 96 Hr; UnspecifiedFish: Bluegill/Sunfish: LC50 = 2.82 mg/L; 96 Hr; Unspecified If applied to soil as would be the case in its use as a soil sterilant, chloropicrin will both rapidly volatilize and leach. It should photolyze on the soils surface. It may degrade in soil by chemical or biological processes. However degradation rates are unknown. If released in water it would readily volatilize. It will photodegrade in the surface layers of water (half-life about 3 days). Chloropicrin would not be expected to adsorb to sediment or bioconcentrate in fish.
Environmental: If released to the atmosphere, chloropicrin will photolyze (half-life 20 days), producing phosgene and nitrosyl chloride. Being relatively soluble in water, it may be washed out by rain.
Physical: No information available.
Other: No information available.
