| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: ACUTE TOXICITY IS LOW.
FOR 2,2-DICHLORO-1,1,1-TRIFLUOROETHANE (CAS # 306-83-2):
LC50 (4 HR.): 3.2% (32,000 PPM), (INHALATION)
ORAL APPROXIMATE LETHAL DOSE (ALD): 9 G/KG (BODY WEIGHT)
CARDIOTOXIC LOAEL (LOWEST OBSERVED ADVERSE EFFECT LEVEL): 2%VOL.
CARDIOTOXIC NOAEL (NO OBSERVED ADVERSE EFFECT LEVEL): 1%VOL.
TOXICOLOGICAL TESTING WAS PERFORMED ON HCFC-123 BY THE PROGRAM FOR
ALTERNATIVE FLUOROCARBON TESTING (PAFT). DATA FROM ACUTE TOXICITY STUDIES
IN THIS PROGRAM DEMONSTRATED THAT HCFC-123 HAS VERY LOW TOXICITY BY SKIN
APPLICATION OR INHALATION.
FOR THE PROPRIETARY GAS MIXTURE:
THE TOXIC EFFECTS OF THE PROPRIETARY GAS MIXTURE IN THE ABSENCE OF EXTREME
TEMPERATURE ARE PRIMARILY ITS ABILITY TO FUNCTION AS A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT
(I.E. DISPLACE OXYGEN).
OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION:
ANIMAL STUDIES:
FOR 2,2-DICHLORO-1,1,1-TRIFLUOROETHANE (CAS #306-83-2):
LONG-TERM EXPOSURE IN A TWO YEAR STUDY (6 HOURS/DAY, 5 DAYS/WEEK) AT
CONCENTRATIONS OF 300, 1000 AND 5000 PPM DECREASED BODY WEIGHT, SERUM
CHOLESTEROL, TRIGLYCERIDES AND GLUCOSE, AND INCREASED URINARY FLUORIDE
CONCENTRATIONS IN RATS. HOWEVER, SURVIVAL WAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED IN
ALL EXPOSED GROUPS COMPARED TO CONTROL ANIMALS. INHALATION OF 300, 1000
AND 5000 PPM CAUSED AN INCREASE IN BENIGN TUMORS OF THE LIVER, PANCREAS,
AND TESTIS. TUMORS OCCURRED LATE IN LIFE AND NONE WERE ASSESSED TO BE LIFE
THREATENING. TUMOR FORMATION IS THOUGHT TO OCCUR THROUGH NON-GENOTOXIC
MECHANISMS ASSOCIATED WITH A PEROXISOME PROLIFERATING POTENTIAL OR WITH
HORMONAL DISTURBANCES IN OLDER RATS.
EXPOSURE TO DOGS, GUINEA PIGS OR MONKEYS AT 1000 PPM OR GREATER FOR 6
HOURS PER DAY,7 DAYS PER WEEK, FOR A TOTAL OF 3 WEEKS, INDUCED SLIGHT OR
MILD LIVER DAMAGE WITH ALTERED ENZYME LEVELS.
RODENT STUDIES INDICATE HCFC-123 IS EASILY ABSORBED VIA INHALATION. IT
DISTRIBUTES IN ALL ORGANS, MORE SO IN THE LIVER. ABOUT 90% OF INHALED
HCFC-123 IS ELIMINATED VIA THE LUNGS UNCHANGED. THE REMAINING AMOUNT IS
METABOLIZED TO TRIFLUOROACETIC ACID AND EXCRETED IN THE URINE. SMALL
AMOUNTS OF TRIFLUOROACETYLATED PROTEINS WERE DETECTED IN RATS IN
LABORATORY STUDIES.
HCFC-123 DID NOT AFFECT REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE IN RATS OR HARM THE
UNBORN ANIMALS IN RATS OR RABBITS AT 5000 AND 10,000 PPM.
HCFC-123 WAS INACTIVE IN SEVERAL TEST-TUBE GENETIC DAMAGE STUDIES EXCEPT
THE HUMAN LYMPHOCYTE CHROMOSOME ABERRATION ASSAY. HCFC-123 IS ALSO
INACTIVE IN LIVE ANIMAL GENETIC DAMAGE STUDIES. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT
CONSIDERED GENOTOXIC.
