EXTINGUISHER MEDIA: Water Fog for cooling of fire exposed containers. All conventional fire extinguishing media are suitable.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Non-combustible liquid. Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool. If spill is fire-exposed
use self-contained breathing apparatus and fire fighter turnout clothing. Cool with water from a distance upwind.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Not explosive but heat and ultraviolet light may produce phosgene and other toxic
compounds. Cylinder may rupture if heated by fire.

SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA
IS THIS CHEMICAL STABLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF HANDLING/STORAGE (Y/N)? Y
CONDITIONS TO AVOID (REGARDING STABILITY): High temperature (175潞C).
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Mixing with water or water solutions causes formation of corrosive products. Do not use
aluminum or PVC containers or tubing. Avoid aluminum, magnesium and their alloys.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, chlorine, HCl, phosgene and nitrogen oxides at high temperatures.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION POSSIBLE (Y/N)? N
CONDITIONS TO AVOID (REGARDING POLYMERIZATION): N/A
SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARDS
DANGER! May be fatal if inhaled or swallowed. Severe damage follows liquid contact with eyes or skin. Airborne exposure to concentrations
of 0.1 - 0.3 ppm may cause immediate tearing and irritation of the eyes and irritation of the respiratory tract or contaminated body surfaces.
The 4-hour inhalation LC50 in rats is 12 ppm and the inhalation sensory irritation (RD50) in mice is 8 ppm. The FIFRA toxicity classification is
Category 1 due to acute lethality and severe irritation.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Skin, Eyes, Ingestion, Inhalation.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE: Target organs include eyes, skin, respiratory tract and tissue associated
with port-of-entry into the body. Individuals with a pre-existing disease or history of ailments involving the skin, eyes, or respiratory
tract my be at greater risk of developing adverse health effects from exposure.
Eyes: Exposure to vapor in low concentrations (<0.3 ppm) can cause reversible eye irritation. Direct contact with liquid may
cause blindness.
Inhalation: Acute overexposure to vapor (4 ppm) may result in respiratory tract irritation. Very brief exposure to high
concentrations of vapor (15 ppm) such as might occur in an enclosed area can result in nausea or vomiting. Exposure for
up to a minute can produce respiratory damage including pulmonary edema and possibly death.
Skin: Exposure to vapor in low concentrations can cause reversible skin irritation. Direct contact with liquid may cause
permanent
skin damage.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause severe gastrointestinal damage and may include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, collapse
and death.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: N/A
CHEMICAL LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGEN?:
鈥? NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM (Y/N): N
鈥? IARC MONOGRAPHS (Y/N): N
鈥? OSHA (Y/N): N
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Pre-existing respiratory disease including asthma and emphysema.
TOXICITY DATA: Acute Oral LD50 (rats): 250 mg/kg; Acute Dermal LD50 (rabbits): severe irritant; Acute inhalation LD50 (rabbits): 150
ppm (15 min.); Causes eye irritation at about 0.3 ppm.
MUTAGENICITY: Has been shown to be positive in some in vitro (鈥榯est tube鈥?) studies and negative in others.
TERATOGENICITY: In animal inhalation studies there were no treatment-related fetal malformations although the incidences of
developmental variations increased with dose.
REPORDUCTIVE EFFECTS: Reproductive fitness was not adversely affected in a two-generation inhalation rat study.
IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE OR HEALTH CONCENTRATION: 4 ppm
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER OF MANUFACTURER: CHEMTREC 1(800) 424-9300
1. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If unconscious, give artificial respiration. Place patient in half upright position. Treat for
pulmonary edema. Call a physician.
2. EYE CONTACT: Flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Call a physician.
3. SKIN CONTACT: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention.
4. INGESTION: If conscious, induce vomiting (finger or blunt object at back of throat). Call a physician.
SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
USDOT SHIPPING DESCRIPTION: Chloropicrin, 6.1, UN1580,I, Poison-Inhalation Hazard, Hazard Zone B
RETURN OF EMPTY CONTAINERS: Empty cylinders and tanks are classified by the DOT as 鈥淐yl. Residue, LAST CONTAINED
Chloropicrin, 6.1, UN1580, PBI, Poison-Inhalation Hazard, Hazard Zone B
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: READ AND OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS ON PRODUCT LABEL.
Store and ship cylinders and tanks in upright position only. Keep away from open flame or heat. Store in a secured area. When not in use,
keep valves closed and secure take-off fitting cap and valve bonnet. Use only dry nitrogen gas (180 psig maximum) to pressurize cylinders

and tanks. Polyethylene or Teflon tubing may be used to transfer chloropicrin at low pressures. Chloropicrin can be stored in stainless steel
or mild steel tanks.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Store and ship cylinders and tanks in upright position only. Keep valves closed and caps on when not in use.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: For spills use a gas mask with approved organic vapor (black)
cartridge or SCBA if there is no ventilation. Cover chloropicrin with water, soil, cotton, absorbant material or plastic tarps to reduce fumes.
Ventilate area by opening windows, doors and using fans. Flush into ground if possible. Cover with dirt and sprinkle top with water. Keep all
unprotected personnel away. Sodium Bisulfate in a water solution will decompose chloropicrin rapidly. Add slowly and only in a well--
ventilated area. Discharge of treated effluents into lakes, streams or public waters requires a valid discharge permit. Consult federal, state or
local authorities for discharge of effluent or disposal of wastes and rinsates.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: Bury in an approved hazardous waste landfill or allow to evaporate in an evacuated area. Return empty
containers to the manufacturer for refilling. Do not contaminate water. Dispose in accordance with Federal, State, and Local regulations.
SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A full-face respirator or powered air-purifying respirator equipped with NIOSH approved organic vapor
cartridges is required if vapors are above the permissible exposure limit. A self contained breathing apparatus or supplied-air respirator is
required in oxygen deficient areas or when concentrations exceed 5 ppm.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: local exhaust (non-sparking) essential when indoors.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Required - nitrile or polyethylene when there is a danger of liquid contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical goggles or face mask when full-face respiratory protection is not required.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Wear loose-fitting chemical-resistant clothing. In confined areas wear a
vapor-tight suit.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Read and observe all precautions on product label. Aerate and/or launder any contaminated clothing,
shoes, gloves, etc.

SECTION 313:
On November 30, 1994, the Environmental Protection Agency added chloropicrin to its list of chemicals subject to Section 313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986. Section 313 reporting for the newly listed chemicals and chemical
categories will be required beginning with the 1995 calendar year. The first reports of the added chemicals must be submitted to EPA and
States by July 1, 1996.
