Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear almost colorless liquid.
Warning! Harmful if swallowed. May cause eye and
skin irritation. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May be
harmful if absorbed through skin or if inhaled. May cause central
nervous system depression.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Exposure may
cause irritation characterized by redness, dryness, and
inflammation.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause central nervous system depression, characterized
by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and
nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma
and possible death due to respiratory failure. May be harmful if
swallowed.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Long-term vapor
exposure to 1,1,2-trichloroethane causes chronic gastric symptoms,
fat deposition in the kidneys, and damage to the lungs.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Mice, but not rats, that were
given high doses of 1,1,2-trichloroethane by mouth for most of their
life developed liver cancer, but we do not know whether humans
exposed to this chemical would develop cancer. From the limited
information available in animals, it appears that
1,1,2-trichloroethane does not cause birth defects or otherwise
inhibit normal development.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
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. Approach
fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition
products. 1,1,2-trichloroethane has no flash point in conventional
closed tester; however, vapors in containers can explode if
subjected to a high energy source.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out.
Flash Point: None
Autoignition Temperature: 459 deg C ( 858.20 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:6.0 vol %
Upper: 15.5 vol %
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0
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. Flush
spill area with water. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to
reduce vapors.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not reuse this
container. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid
breathing vapor or mist.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep from contact with oxidizing
materials. Do not store in metal containers. Keep containers tightly
closed.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
