Effects of Exposure: EXTENSIVE TOXICITY STUDIES HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED ON A
SLIGHTLY LIGHTER HALOCARBON OIL (3:1). BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE DATA IN THREE
SPECIES OF ANIMALS, LIMITED EXPOSURE TO HALOCARBON OIL SHOULD NOT BE HAR MFUL
TO ANY PORTION OF HUMAN ANATOMY. STUDIES CONDUCTED BY THE AIR FORCE HAVE
DEMONSTRATED LIVER TOXICITY IN RODENTS, BUT NOT IN PRIMATES. OBSERVED LIVER
TOXICITY IS BELIEVED TO BE SPECIFIC FOR RODENT S & NOT RELEVANT TO
HUMANS. HALOCARBON OIL IS NOT IRRITATING TO SKIN BUT SIMPLE SKIN PROTECTION
SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT REPEATED EXPOSURE & POSSIBILITY OF
SENSITIZATION. ALL MUTAGENICITY STUDIES WER E NEGATIVE. (EFFECTS OF
OVEREXPOSURE)
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HEALTH HAZARDS: SINCE THE POTENTIAL FOR
HUMAN TOXICITY CANNOT BE RULED OUT, PROPER VENTILATION AND WORK PRACTICES
SHOULD BE EMPLOYED. ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: FROM ANIMAL STUDIES, SIGNS
OF FLUOR IDE POISONING MAY BE EXPECTED. THESE INCLUDE NAUSEA, SHORTNESS OF
BREATH AND LOSS OF APPETITE. CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: UNKNOWN. OTHER
HEALTH HAZARDS: NONE KNOWN.
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: NONE KNOWN.
First Aid: INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. APPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF
NEEDED. SEEK MEDICAL HELP. SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. EYES: FLUSH
