Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Colourless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweet odour. Non-flammable material. Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. Vapour displaces air and can cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. At higher temperatures (>250oC) decomposition products may include Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and carbonyl halides.
Health hazards
Skin: Irritation would result from a defatting action on tissue. Liquid contact could cause frostbite. Eyes: Liquid contact can cause sever irritation and frostbite. Mist may irritate. Inhalation: When oxygen levels in air are reduced to 12 -14% by displacement, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, increased pulse rate and deeper respiration will occur. At high levels cardiac arrhythmia may occur. Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely because of the boiling point of the material. Should it occur then discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract from the rapid evaporation of the material, and the consequent evolution of gas, would result.
