Potential Health Effects
PRINCIPAL HEALTH HAZARDS (Including Significant Routes,
Effects, Symptoms of Overexposure, and Medical Conditions
Aggravated by Exposure)
In acute toxicity testing in animals, "PORTA" 113 was of
very low toxicity by inhalation. However, life-threatening
exposures may occur if handled carelessly. Vapors are
heavier than air posing a hazard of asphyxiation if they are
trapped in enclosed or low places. At flame temperatures,
this fluorocarbon may decompose to hydrogen fluoride which
may be lethal at low concentrations. "PORTA" 113 poses a
hazard of fatal heart irregularities if inhaled at high
concentrations. Skin or eye contact may cause irritation.
Prolonged skin contact may cause drying of the skin.
Inhalation or ingestion may cause dizziness, headache,
confusion, incoordination and loss of consciousness.
ANIMAL DATA:
Inhalation 4 hour LC50: 52,500 ppm in rats
Skin absorption ALD: >11,000 mg/kg in rabbits
Oral LD50: 43,000 mg/kg in rats
The liquid is a mild skin irritant and a slight eye
irritant. The compound has produced a weak allergic skin
reaction (sensitization) in guinea pigs.
Skin: Repeated exposure to high doses of the liquid
maintained in close contact with the skin caused severe
local irritation in rabbits. This reaction is typically
seen when defatting agents are tested under similar
conditions.
Inhalation: The effects in animals from high single
exposures include anaesthesic effects such as tremors,
dizziness, incoordination, and loss of consciousness, and
irregular heartbeat (cardiac arrhythmias) due to the heart
being made more sensitive to adrenalin (cardiac
sensitization). Repeated exposure at high concentrations
also produced central nervous system effects during exposure
but no evidence of other systemic toxicity.
Ingestion: High, single oral administration of the liquid,
at or near lethal doses, produced lethargy within several
minutes. Survivors have shown no apparent toxic effects.
There is no evidence of carcinogenicity or teratogenicity in
animal testing. In a reproductive toxicity study in rats,
no adverse effects on reproductive performance were seen at
concentrations of 500 ppm, and only minimal effects (slight
decrease in corpora lutea) were observed at 12,500 ppm.
This compound does not produce genetic damage in bacterial
or mammalian cell cultures. It does not produce heritable
genetic damage in male animals (dominant lethal test).
HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY:
Skin contact may initially include: mild skin irritation,
mainly due to rapid evaporation, with possible discomfort or
rash. Prolonged skin contact may cause temporary tingling,
numbness, coldness, or drying of skin. There are no reports
of human skin sensitization. Significant skin permeation,
and systemic toxicity, after contact appears unlikely.
Eye contact may initially include: mild eye irritation with
discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision.
The major ingestion hazard is aspiration (liquid entering
the lungs during ingestion or vomiting) which may result in
"chemical pneumonia". Symptoms include coughing, gasping,
choking, shortness of breath, bluish discoloration of the
skin, rapid breathing and heart rate, and fever. Pulmonary
edema or bleeding, drowsiness, confusion, coma and seizures
may occur in more serious cases. Symptoms may develop
immediately or as late as 24 hours after the exposure,
depending on how much chemical entered the lungs.
Inhalation or ingestion may include: temporary nervous
system depression with anaesthetic effects such as
dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination, and loss of
consciousness. Higher exposures may cause temporary
alteration of the heart's electrical activity with irregular
pulse, palpitations, or inadequate circulation. Fatality
may occur from gross overexposure. One report cites two
cases where workers who were repeatedly overexposed to the
compound experienced liver damage; however, it was not
proven that the compound actually caused the damage.
Another study evaluated 50 workers exposed for an average of
over 2 years to 46 - 4700 ppm. No adverse effects were
found except for 1 case of dry skin.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.
First Aid
INHALATION
If high concentrations are inhaled, immediately remove
persons to fresh air; keep them calm. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT
In case of skin contact, flush skin with plenty of water
for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation is
present.
EYE CONTACT
In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with
plenty of water for 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
If swallowed, no specific intervention is indicated as
the compound is not likely to be hazardous by ingestion.
Do not induce vomiting. However, consult a physician if
necessary.
Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal slurry may be administered. To prepare
activated charcoal slurry suspend 50 g activated charcoal in
400 mL water in plastic bottle and shake well. Administer 5
mL/kg, or 350 mL for an average adult.
Because of a possible increased risk of eliciting cardiac
dysrhythmias, catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine,
should be used with special caution in situations of
emergency life support.
Because of the danger of aspiration, emesis or gastric
lavage should not be employed unless the risk is justified
by the presence of additional toxic substances. Activated
charcoal may induce vomiting, but may be given after emesis
or lavage to absorb toxic additives. Steroid therapy in
mild to moderate cases does not improve outcome. Bacterial
pneumonia often occurs after exposure, but prophylactic
antibiotics are not indicated and should be reserved for
documented bacterial pneumonia.
Flammable Properties
Flash Point : Will not burn
Autodecomposition : 300 C (572 F)
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Drums may rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition may
occur.
Extinguishing Media
As appropriate for combustibles in area.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Use water spray or fog to cool container. Self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if drums rupture and
contents are spilled under fire conditions.
Safeguards (Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area. Do not flush into sewers. Dike spill.
Collect on absorbent material and transfer to steel drums
for recovery or disposal. Use self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) for large spills. Comply with Federal,
State, and local regulations on reporting releases.
Handling (Personnel)
Avoid breathing vapors and prolonged skin exposure. Use
with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below
recommended limits.
Storage
Clean, dry area. Do not heat above 125 deg F.
Engineering Controls
Normal ventilation for standard use procedures is generally
adequate. Local exhaust should be used when large amounts
are released. Mechanical ventilation should be used in low
or enclosed places.
Personal Protective Equipment
Impervious gloves should be used to avoid prolonged or
repeated exposure. Chemical splash goggles should be worn
as needed to prevent eye contact. Under normal use
conditions, no respiratory protection is required when using
this product. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is
required if a large spill occurs.
