Section 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EYE
There is evidence that material may produce eye irritation in some persons and produce
eye damage 24 hours or more after instillation. Severe inflammation may be expected with
pain. There may be damage to the cornea. Unless treatment is prompt and adequate there
may be permanent loss of vision. Conjunctivitis can occur following repeated exposure.
Alkaline salts may be intensely irritating to the eyes and precautions should be taken to
ensure direct eye contact is avoided.
SKIN
The material may cause mild but significant inflammation of the skin either following
direct contact or after a delay of some time. Repeated exposure can cause contact
dermatitis which is characterized by redness, swelling and blistering.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
Inhalation of dusts, generated by the material, during the course of normal
handling, may be harmful.
The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to
such irritation can cause further lung damage.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways
involving difficult breathing and related systemic problems.
Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce
cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e.
pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the
lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
路 Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
路 Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
路 Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
路 Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where
possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
路 Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short-term repeated exposures to highly alkaline materials:
路 Respiratory stress is uncommon but present occasionally because of soft tissue edema.
路 Unless endotracheal intubation can be accomplished under direct vision,
cricothyroidotomy or tracheotomy may be necessary.
路 Oxygen is given as indicated.
路 The presence of shock suggests perforation and mandates an intravenous line and fluid
administration.
路 Damage due to alkaline corrosives occurs by liquefaction necrosis whereby the
saponification of fats and solubilization of proteins allow deep penetration into the
tissue.
Alkalis continue to cause damage after exposure.
INGESTION:
路 Milk and water are the preferred diluents
No more than 2 glasses of water should be given to an adult.
路 Neutralizing agents should never be given since exothermic heat reaction may compound
injury.
* Catharsis and emesis are absolutely contra-indicated.
* Activated charcoal does not absorb alkali.
* Gastric lavage should not be used.
Supportive care involves the following:
路 Withhold oral feedings initially.
路 If endoscopy confirms transmucosal injury start steroids only within the first 48
hours.
路 Carefully evaluate the amount of tissue necrosis before assessing the need for surgical
intervention.
路 Patients should be instructed to seek medical attention whenever they develop
difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).
SKIN AND EYE:
路 Injury should be irrigated for 20-30 minutes.
路 Eye injuries require saline. [Ellenhorn & Barceloux: Medical Toxicology].

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
路 There is no restriction on the type of extinguisher which may be used.
Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding area.
FIRE FIGHTING
路 Alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard.
路 Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves for fire only.
路 Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.
路 Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area.
路 Do not approach containers suspected to be hot.
路 Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.

GENERAL FIRE HAZARDS/HAZARDOUS COMBUSTIBLE PRODUCTS
路 Solid which exhibits difficult combustion or is difficult to ignite.
路 Avoid generating dust, particularly clouds of dust in a confined or unventilated space
as dusts may form an explosive mixture with air, and any source of ignition, i.e. flame
or spark, will cause fire or explosion. Dust clouds generated by the fine grinding of the
solid are a particular hazard; accumulations of fine dust may burn rapidly and fiercely
if ignited.
路 Dry dust can be charged electrostatically by turbulence, pneumatic transport, pouring,
in exhaust ducts and during transport.
路 Build-up of electrostatic charge may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
路 Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require
additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
Combustion products include: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), other
pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material.
May emit poisonous fumes.
May emit corrosive fumes.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid contamination with oxidizing agents i.e. nitrates, oxidizing acids,
chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result.

MATERIAL DATA
It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent)
for all substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborne
concentrations encountered in the workplace.
At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse
health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience). Airborne
concentrations must be maintained as low as is practically possible and occupational
exposure must be kept to a minimum.
NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified
(P.N.O.S) does NOT apply.
Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on
the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these
irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne
concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be
protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established
using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no
-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results
are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling
values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV
STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints
combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five
-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.
However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)
Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely
allied to that of the USA.
OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
路 cause inflammation
路 cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
路 lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
路 permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
路 acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus
increasing the risk of overexposure.

Use appropriate NIOSH-certified respirator based on informed professional
judgement. In conditions where no reasonable estimate of exposure can be
made, assume the exposure is in a concentration IDLH and use NIOSH-certified
full face pressure demand SCBA with a minimum service life of 30 minutes, or
a combination full facepiece pressure demand SAR with auxiliary self-contained
air supply. Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres shall be
NIOSH-certified for escape from the atmosphere in which they will be used.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear an
approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection an approved
self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some situations. Provide
adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area.

STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Metals and their oxides or salts may react violently with chlorine trifluoride. Chlorine
trifluoride is a hypergolic oxidizer. It ignites on contact (without external source of
heat or ignition) with recognized fuels - contact with these materials, following an
ambient or slightly elevated temperature, is often violent and may produce ignition. The
state of subdivision may affect the results.
In presence of moisture, the material is corrosive to aluminium, zinc and tin producing
highly flammable hydrogen gas.
Avoid strong acids.
Avoid contact with copper, aluminium and their alloys.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of
Chemical Substances.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material
ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways
dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly
irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of
preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of
persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to
severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of
minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the
criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an
infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure
to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that
occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often
particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder
is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and
thickening of the skin.
