Appearance: clear, colorless liquid.
Caution! Vapor reduces oxygen available for
breathing. May cause eye irritation. May cause central nervous
system effects. May cause cardiac disturbances. This is a CFC
substance which destroys ozone in the upper atmosphere. Destruction
of the ozone layer can lead to increased ultraviolet radiation which,
with excess exposure to sunlight, can lead to an increase in skin
cancer and eye cataracts.
Target Organs: Heart, central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis.
Instillation of undiluted CFC-113 produced no significant irritation
in the rabbit eye.
Skin:
May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may
dry/defat the skin and cause irritation.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation.
Expected to be a low ingestion hazard.
Discomfort due to volatility would be expected.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing. May cause
heart disturbances, possibly leading to cardiac arrest and death. May
cause narcotic effects in high concentration.
Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis.
