vPvB Substances

Not applicable Emergency Overview: Light yellow liquid with unpleasant odor Danger: Causes Skin Burns, May cause blindness, Causes Eye Burns, Harmful if swallowed, Causes respiratory tract burns, May be harmful if absorbed through the skin Potential toxicological & health effects: Skin contact and inhalation are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to methane sulfonyl chloride (MSC). This material can be destructive to tissue producing burns on contact with any body tissues. Contact with the eyes can cause severe irritation and injury, possibly with loss of sight. While the ingestion of MSC is unlikely, if swallowed this material can cause severe irritation and injury to the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. MSC vapors are severely irritating to the eyes, nose, and respiratory tract and may produce tearing of the eyes, coughing, breathing, difficulty and lung congesting (accumulation of fluid in the lungs). MSC is considered, on the basis of single exposure animal tests, to be moderately toxic after ingestion (swallowing), inhalation and skin contact. Due to the potential for MSC to produce severe respiratory tract irritation, workers with lung disease or limited respiratory capacity should have limited exposure to this material. Generally, no genetic changes were observed in tests using bacteria or animal
