|
| IMPORTANT DATA |
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS COMPRESSED LIQUEFIED GAS, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.
PHYSICAL DANGERS:
The gas is heavier than air.
CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The solution in water is a strong acid, it reacts violently with bases and is corrosive. Reacts violently with oxidants forming toxic gas (chlorine - see ICSC 0126). Attacks many metals in the presence of water forming flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC0001).
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV: 2 ppm; (Ceiling value); A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: 2 ppm, 3.0 mg/m3; Peak limitation category: I(2); Pregnancy risk group: C; (DFG 2004).
|
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation.
INHALATION RISK:
A harmful concentration of this gas in the air will be reached very quickly on loss of containment.
EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
Rapid evaporation of the liquid may cause frostbite. The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Inhalation of high concentrations of the gas may cause pneumonitis and lung oedema, resulting in reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) (see Notes). The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
The substance may have effects on the lungs, resulting in chronic bronchitis. The substance may have effects on the teeth, resulting in erosion.

| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES |
Boiling point: -85℃
Melting point: -114℃
Density: 1.00045 g/l (gas)
Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 30℃: 67
Relative vapour density (air = 1): 1.3

Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.25
|
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA |
|
| NOTES |
The applying occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. Do NOT spray water on leaking cylinder (to prevent corrosion of cylinder). Turn leaking cylinder with the leak up to prevent escape of gas in liquid state. Other UN numbers: 2186 (refridgerated liquid) hazard class: 2.3; subsidiary hazard: 8; 1789 (hydrochloric acid) hazard class: 8, pack group II or III. Aqueous solutions may contain up to 38% hydrogen chloride.
Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, Emergency Response.
