Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Skin, eye respiratory, cerntral nervous system, liver diseases
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen (To be
administered by qualified medical personnel only!) Get medical attention.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cups of milk or water. (Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person!) Aspiration hazard. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to
rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid immediately.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: NE Lower Explosive Limit: 12.5 Upper Explosive Limit: 90.0
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, chemical foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Water may be used to cool fire-exposed containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Vapors from this product may travel some distance from original point to an ignition source and flash back. Containers may
explode in heat of fire.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, rubber gloves, and disposable coveralls (discard after use). Remove sources of ignition
(i.e. open flames, sparks). Soak up with inert absorbent material (dry sand or earth recommended; do not use flammable
substances such as sawdust). Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in tightly closed container. Avoid all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible materials. Electrically
bond and ground all containers and equipment before transfer or use of material. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Avoid prolonged or repeated handling. Wash thoroughly after
handling.
Other Precautions:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.

Carcinogenicity
Trichloroethylene
California--Carcinogen
NIOSH--Occupational carcinogen
OSHA--Possible select carcinogen
IARC--Group 2A: Probably carcinogenic to humans
Mutagenicity
Trichloroethylene
Human mutation data has been reported. IARC and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) stated that variability in the
mutagenicity test results with trichloroethylene may be due to the presence of various stabilizers used in trichloroethylene which are
mutagens (e.g. epoxybutane, epichlorohydrin).
XII. Ecological Information:
Prevent from entering sewers or waterways. May be toxic to some aquatic life. In air, trichloroethylene photooxidizes to form
phosgene, dichloroacetyl chloride, and formyl chloride.
XIII. Disposal Considerations:
Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
Trichloroethylene
RCRA D-Series Maximum Concentration of Contaminants: Waste no. D040; regulatory level = 0.5 mg/L
RCRA D-Series Chronic Toxicity Reference Level: 0.005 mg/L
RCRA U-Series: Waste no. U228
Trichloroethylene is banned from land disposal according to RCRA.
XIV. Transport Information:
Keep in tightly closed container. Avoid all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible materials. Electrically
bond and ground all containers and equipment before transfer or use of material. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
