=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CHLOROFLUOROCARBON (CFC) MATERIALS
    HAVE PRODUCED SENSITIZATION OF THE MYOCARDIUM TO EPINEPHRINE IN
    LABORATORY ANIMALS AND COULD HAVE A SIMILAR EFFECT IN HUMANS.
    ADRENOMIMETICS (I.E., EPINEPHRINE) MAY  BE CONTRA-INDICATED EXCEPT
    FOR LIFE-SUSTAINING USES IN HUMANS ACUTELY OR CHRONICALLY EXPOSED
    TO CFCS . SKIN: IRRITATION WOULD RESULT FROM A DEFATTING ACTION ON
    TISSUE. LIQUID CONTACT COULD CAUSE	FROSTBITE. EYES: LIQUID CONTACT
    CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION AND FROSTBITE. MIST MAY IRRITATE.
    INHAL: GENETRON MP39 IS LOW IN ACUTE TOXICITY IN ANIMALS. WHEN
    OXYGEN LEVELS IN AIR ARE REDUCED TO 12-14%	BY DISPLACEMENT,  (EFTS
    OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: SYMPTOMS OF ASPHYXIATION, LOSS OF
    COORDINATION, INCREASED PULSE RATE & DEEPER RESPIRATION WILL OCCUR.
    AT HIGH LEVELS, CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA MAY OCCUR. INGESTION: INGESTION
    IS UNLIKELY BECAUSE O F 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 & SKIN EXPOSURE WOULD BE
    EXPECTED. DELAYED EFECTS: NONE KNOWN.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:SKIN: PROMPTLY FLUSH W/H*2O UNTIL ALL CHEM IS REMOVED. IF
    THERE IS EVID OF FROSTBITE, BATHE (DO NOT RUB) W/LUKEWARM (NOT HOT)
    H*2O. IF H*2O IS NOT AVAIL, COVER W/CLEAN, SOFT CLOTH/SIMILAR
    COVERING. GE T MED ATTN IF SYMPS PERSIST. EYES: IMMED FLUSH W/LARGE
    AMTS OF H*2O FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. (IN CASE OF FROSTBITE H*2O SHOULD
    BE LUKEWARM, (NOT HOT) LIFTING EYELIDS OCCAS TO FACILITATE
    IRRIGATION. GET ME D ATTN IF SYMPS PERSIST. INHAL: IMMED REMOVE TO
    FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTF RESP. USE OXYGEN AS
    REQUIRED, PROVIDED A QUALIFIED OPERATOR IS AVAIL. GET MED ATTN. DO
    NOT GIVE EPINEPHRI NE (ADRENALINE). (SUPDAT)

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:OTHER INFO
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY STANDARD AGENT-CHOOSE ONE MOST APPROPRIATE
    FOR TYPE OF SURROUNDING FIRE (MATERIAL ITSELF IS NOT FLAMMABLE).
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED  PRESSURE DEMAND SCBA &
    FULL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT . PROPER EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD
    BE PROVIDED. USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THERM DECOMP PRODS MAY INCL FLUORIDES,
    CHLORIDES, & PHOSGENE . GENTRON MP39 IS NOT FLAMM AT AMBIENT TEMPS
    & ATM PRESS. HOWEVER, THIS MATL WILL BECOME COMBUST WHEN MIXED
    W/AIR UNDER PRESS & EXPOS ED TO STRONG IGNIT SOURCES. CONTACT
    W/CERTAIN REACTIVE METALS MAY RSLT IN FORMATION OF EXPLO/EXOTHERMIC
    (OTHER INFO)

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:(ALWAYS WEAR RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROT EQUIP.)
    EVACUATE UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL. PROT PERS SHOULD REMOVE IGNIT
    SOURCES & SHUT OFF LEAK, IF W/OUT RISK, & PROVIDE VENT. UNPROTECTED
    PERSONNEL SHOULD NOT RE TURN UNTIL AIR HAS BEEN TESTED & DETERMINED
    SAFE, INCLUDING LOW-LYING AREAS. SPILLS &  RELEASES MAY HAVE TO BE
    REPORTED TO FEDERAL AND/OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES. SEE SECTION 15
    REGARDING RPTG REQUIREMENTS.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENT AREA OF LOW
    FIRE RISK & OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT. PROT CYL & ITS FITTINGS FROM
    PHYSICAL DMG. STOR IN A SUBSURFACE LOCATIONS SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
    CLOSE VALVE TIGHTLY AFTER USE &  WHEN EMPTY. (ALWAYS WEAR REC
    PERSONAL PROT EQUIP.) AVOID BRTHG VAP & LIQ CNTCT W/EYES,
    SKIN/CLTHG.
Other Precautions:NO SMOKING IN AREA OF USE. DO NOT USE IN GEN VICINITY
    OF ARC WELDING, OPEN FLAMES/HOT SURFACES. HEAT &/UV RADIATION MAY
    CAUSE FORMATION OF CHLORIDES, FLUORIDES/PHOSGENE . DO NOT
    PUNCTURE/DROP CY LS, OR EXPOSE THEM TO OPEN FLAME/EXCESSIVE HEAT.
