SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
11.1. Informaon on toxicological effects
Inhaled
Inhalaon of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by sleepiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of
co-ordinaon, and vergo.
Symptoms of asphyxia (suffocaon) may include headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, muscular weakness, drowsiness and ringing in the
ears. If the asphyxia is allowed to progress, there may be nausea and voming, further physical weakness and unconsciousness and, finally,
convulsions, coma and death.
The use of a quanty of material in an unvenlated or confined space may result in increased exposure and an irritang atmosphere developing.
Before starng consider control of exposure by mechanical venlaon.
Ingeson
Overexposure is unlikely in this form.
Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments
Skin Contact Fluorocarbons remove natural oils from the skin, causing irritaon, dryness and sensivity.
Eye
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Direcves), direct contact with the eye may produce transient
discomfort characterised by tearing or conjuncval redness (as with windburn).
Chronic
Principal route of occupaonal exposure to the gas is by inhalaon.
Fluorocarbons can cause an increased risk of cancer, spontaneous aboron and birth defects.
