Health Hazards Data
=======================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: NO
Skin: YES
Ingestion: NO
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO
IARC: NO
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: ACUTE EFFECTS: FROM THE ANIMAL STUDIES, SIGNS OF FLUORIDE
POISONING MAY BE EXPECTED. THESE INCLUDE NAUSEA, SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND LOSS
OF APPETITE. CHRONIC EFFECTS: UNKNOWN A RELATED OIL (HALOCARBON 27) CAUSED
NO DEATHS IN RATS DOSED DAILY FOR 21 DAYS WITH 2.5 G/KG ORALLY. SYMPTOMS
ATTRIBUTED TO FLUORIDE POISONING BY METABOLISM IN THE LIVER WERE NOTED.
ENLARGEMENT OF THE LIVER AND KIDNEYS IN THE TREATED ANIMALS SUPPORT THIS
CONCLUSION. EXTENSIVE STUDIES HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED ON LIGHTER, MORE VOLATILE
HALOCARBON OILS. BASED ON ALL THE AVAILABLE DATA IN THREE SPECIES OF ANIMALS,
LIMITED EXPOSURE TO HALOCARBON (EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HEALTH HAZARDS: OIL SHOULD NOT BE HARMFUL
TO ANY PORTION OF THE HUMAN ANATOMY. STUDIES CONDUCTED BY THE AIR FORCE HAVE
DEMONSTRATED LIVER TOXICITY IN RODENTS BUT NOT IN PRIMATES. THE OBSERVED
LIVER TO XICITY IS BELIEVED TO BE SPECIFIC FOR RODENTS AND NOT RELEVANT TO
HUMANS. HALOCARBON OIL IS NOT IRRITATING TO SKIN BUT SIMPLE SKIN PROTECTION
SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT REPEATED EXPOSURE AND THE POSSIB ILITY OF
SENSITIZATION. ALL MUTAGENICITY STUDIES WERE NEGATIVE. SINCE THE POTENTIAL
FOR HUMAN TOXICITY CANNOT BE RULED OUT PROPER VENTILATION AND WORK PRACTICES
SHOULD BE EMPLOYED. OTHER HEALTH HAZARD S: NONE KNOWN.
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: NONE KNOWN.
First Aid: INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. SUPPORT BREATHING (GIVE
OXYGEN/ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION) (FP N). SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. NO
SKIN EFFECTS EXPECTED. EYES: FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MI NUTES.
INGESTION: DILUTE BY DRINKING LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. IF VOMITING OCCURS
ADMINISTER MORE WATER.
=======================================================
