**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Very toxic by inhalation. Irritating to eyes,
respiratory system and skin.Lachrymator (substance which increases
the flow of tears).
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
immediately.
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.
**** 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, vapor, mist, or gas. 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.

Bluegill/Sunfish: LC50 = 2.82 mg/L; 96 Hr; UnspecifiedIf 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).
