Section 2
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Class 2.2 Compressed Gas, Liquified Gas and Non-combustible Gas.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation, Skin Contact. Emergency Overview: Colorless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor. Non-flammable material.Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. Lubricant mists may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation.
Health hazards
Skin: Direct skin contact with the liquid or cold gas can cause chilling or possibly frostbite of exposed tissues. Eyes: Liquid contact can cause severe irritation and frostbite. Mist may irritate. Inhalation: R-134a is low in acute toxicity in animals. 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 low boiling point of the material. Should it occur, discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract from rapid evaporation of the material and consequent evolution of gas would result. Some effects of inhalation and skin exposure would be expected.
