Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE AND CHRONIC: HALON 1301 HAS
ANESTHETIC AND CARDIAC EFFECTS IN HUMAN AT CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE 10%
BY VOLUME. CONCENTRATIONS BELOW 10% ARE CONSIDERED SAFE FOR 0-5
MINUTE EXPOSURE. HALON 1301 IS CLA SSIFIED AS GROUP 6 (LEAST TOXIC)
IN THE UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES CLASSIFICATION OF COMPARATIVE LIFE
HAZARDS OF FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS. SMOKING IN AREA WHERE THIS
CHEMICAL IS RELEASED CAN CAUSE FOR MATION OF TOXIC AND IRRITATING
HALOGENS AND HALOGEN ACIDS, WHICH COULD BE INHALED WITH SMOKE.
AVOID EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT AND DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS. WHEN WEARING
CONTACT LENSES; CLOUDING OF LENSES MAY OCCUR.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:THE ANESTHETIC EFFECT OF HALON 1301 AT LEVELS
BELOW 10% IS SIMILAR TO A FEELING OF MILD INTOXICATION. ANESTHETIC
EFFECTS END RAPIDLY AFTER EXPOSURE IS TERMINATED. PROLONGED
EXPOSURE TO CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE 10% (15-20%) MAY LEAD TO
UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND POSSIBLE DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CARDIAC CONDITIONS MAY BE
AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR; IF NOT BREATHING,
GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE
OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH WITH WATER. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF F ROSTBITE OCCURS. EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER, GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. NOTE: EPINEPHRINE IS CONTRAINDICATED IN THE TREATMENT OF
OVER-EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NON FLAMMABL GAS
Extinguishing Media:HALON 1301 IS A FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENT. USE WATER
SPRAY TO COOL CYLINDERS INVOLVED IN FIRES. USE MEDIA SUITABLE FOR
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN AREA.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PREDOMINANT DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS ARE
HYDROGEN FLUORIDE AND HYDROGEN BROMIDE IN FIRE SITUATIONS. THE
PRODUCTS ARE IRRITATING AND POTENTIALLY TOXIC IF FIRE
EXTINGUISHMENT IS DELAYED. ABOVE 1000F, HALO N 1301 MAY RELEASE
HYDROGEN FLUORIDE, HYDROGEN BROMIDE, CARBONYL FLUORIDE AND CARBONYL
BROMIDE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA. WEAR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS, VENTILATE ENCLOSED AREAS IN CASE OF DISCHARGE.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL
DAMAGE. STORAGE TEMPERATURE SHOULD NOT EXC3EDD 125 F. CYLINDERS
SHOULD BE SECURED FOR STORAGE WITH VALVE PROTECTION CAP IN PLACE.
Other Precautions:DOT: COMPRESSED GAS, N.O.S. (BROMOTRIFLUOROMETHANE)
NON-FLAMMABLE GAS, UN 1956. EXPORT: BROMOTRIFLUOROMETHANE,
NON-FLAMMABLE GAS, UN 1009, IMO CLASS 2.2.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED, SELF-COTAIED BREATHING
APPARATUS AT CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN 10,000 PPM AS RECOMMENDED
BY NIOSH. CONSULT ANSI STANDARD AND OSHA REGUALTIONS CONCERNING THE
USE OF RESPIRATORY EQ UIPMENT. AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE CONCENTRATIONS.
Ventilation:LOCAL: MATERIAL TRANSFER AND HANDLING SHOULD BE CONDUCTED
WITH EXHAUST SYSTEM. MECHANICAL: ALL INDOOR AREAS SHOULD BE WELL
VENTILATED.
Protective Gloves:LINED NEOPRENE OR LEATHER IF FROSTBITE IS A
POSSIBILITY.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES IN CASE OF FROSTBITE. DO NOT
WEAR CONTACT LENSES.
Other Protective Equipment:NONE
Work Hygienic Practices:DETERMINE THAT PIPING IS EMPTY BEFORE DOING
MAINTENANCE WORK. PERIODICALLY CHECK CYLINDERS TO ENSURE VALVES ARE
NOT LEAKING.
