POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
HCFC-123:
INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR IS HARMFUL AND MAY CAUSE HEART
IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE OR DELIBERATE
INHALATION MAY CAUSE DEATH WITHOUT WARNING. VAPOR REDUCES OXYGEN AVAILABLE
FOR BREATHING AND IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. PRODUCT CAUSES MILD EYE IRRITATION.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS ARE HAZARDOUS.
HEALTH HAZARDS:
EYE CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION WITH DISCOMFORT, TEARING, OR BLURRING OF
VISION.
OVEREXPOSURE BY INHALATION MAY CAUSE LIVER DAMAGE WITH ALTERED ENZYME
LEVELS, AND TEMPORARY NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION WITH ANESTHETIC EFFECTS
SUCH AS DIZZINESS, WEAKNESS, HEADACHE, CONFUSION, INCOORDINATION, AND LOSS
OF CONSCIOUSNESS. WITH OVEREXPOSURE (>2%), POSSIBLY TEMPORARY ALTERATION OF
THE HEART'S ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY WITH IRREGULAR PULSE, PALPITATIONS, OR
INADEQUATE CIRCULATION.
INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE EFFECTS OF THIS MATERIAL MAY OBSERVED IN
PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING DISEASE OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM,
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM, AND LIVER.
CARCINOGENICITY INFORMATION:
NONE OF THE COMPONENTS PRESENT IN THIS MATERIAL AT CONCENTRATIONS EQUAL TO
OR GREATER THAN 0.1% ARE LISTED BY IARC, NTP, OSHA OR ACGIH AS A
CARCINOGEN.
| FIRST AID MEASURES | |
FIRST AID:
INHALATION:
IF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS ARE INHALED, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. KEEP
PERSON CALM. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
SKIN CONTACT:
IN CASE OF CONTACT, FLUSH WITH WATER. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION
IS PRESENT.
EYE CONTACT:
IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
INGESTION:
MATERIAL POSES AN ASPIRATION HAZARD. IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
IMMEDIATELY GIVE 2 GLASSES OF WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
IF VOMITING OCCURS NATURALLY, HAVE VICTIM LEAN FORWARD TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF ASPIRATION.
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS:
THIS MATERIAL MAY MAKE THE HEART MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ARRHYTHMIAS.
CATECHOLAMINES SUCH AS ADRENALINE, AND OTHER COMPOUNDS HAVING SIMILAR
EFFECTS, SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR EMERGENCIES AND THEN USED ONLY WITH SPECIAL
CAUTION.

CONDITIONS.
WATER RUNOFF SHOULD BE CONTAINED AND NEUTRALIZED PRIOR TO RELEASE.
| ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
SAFEGUARDS (PERSONNEL):
NOTE:
REVIEW FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES AND HANDLING (PERSONNEL) SECTIONS BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH CLEAN-UP. USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
DURING CLEAN-UP.
VENTILATE SPILL AREA.
DU PONT EMERGENCY EXPOSURE LIMITS (EEL) ARE ESTABLISHED TO FACILITATE SITE
OR PLANT EMERGENCY EVACUATION AND SPECIFY AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS OF BRIEF
DURATIONS WHICH SHOULD NOT RESULT IN PERMANENT ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS OR
INTERFERE WITH ESCAPE. EEL'S ARE EXPRESSED AS AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION
MULTIPLIED BY TIME (CXT) FOR UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 60 MINUTES AND AS A CEILING
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION. THESE LIMITS ARE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH
ENGINEERING CONTROLS/MONITORING AND AS AN AID IN PLANNING FOR EPISODIC
RELEASES AND SPILLS. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE APPLICABILITY OF EEL'S,
CONTACT DU PONT.
THE DU PONT EMERGENCY EXPOSURE LIMIT (EEL) FOR HCFC-123 IS 1000 PPM FOR UP
TO 60 MINUTES WITH A 1 MINUTE NOT-TO-EXCEED CEILING OF 2500 PPM.
INITIAL CONTAINMENT:
DIKE SPILL. PREVENT MATERIAL FROM ENTERING SEWERS, WATERWAYS, OR LOW AREAS.
SPILL CLEAN UP:
COLLECT ON ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND TRANSFER TO STEEL DRUMS FOR
RECOVERY/DISPOSAL. COMPLY WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REGULATIONS FOR
REPORTING RELEASES.
| HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING (PERSONNEL):
AVOID BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION
FOR STORAGE, HANDLING, AND USE, ESPECIALLY FOR ENCLOSED OR LOW SPACES.
AVOID CONTACT OF LIQUID WITH EYES AND PROLONGED SKIN EXPOSURE.
HANDLING (PHYSICAL ASPECTS):
DO NOT ALLOW PRODUCT TO CONTACT OPEN FLAME OR ELECTRICAL HEATING ELEMENTS
BECAUSE DANGEROUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS MAY FORM.
STORAGE:
STORE IN A CLEAN, DRY PLACE.
DO NOT HEAT ABOVE 52 DEG C TO AVOID OVER PRESSURIZING THE CONTAINER.
| EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED.
VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR POSING A HAZARD OF ASPHYXIA IF THEY ARE TRAPPED
IN ENCLOSED OR LOW PLACES.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR COVERALL CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES.
RESPIRATORS:
WHERE THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR AIRBORNE EXPOSURES IN EXCESS OF APPLICABLE
LIMITS, WEAR NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
WHERE THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SKIN CONTACT HAVE AVAILABLE AND WEAR AS
APPROPRIATE IMPERVIOUS GLOVES, APRON, PANTS, AND JACKET.
| EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
EXPOSURE LIMITS:
"SUVA" 123:
PEL (OSHA): NONE ESTABLISHED
TLV (ACGIH): NONE ESTABLISHED
AEL * (DU PONT): 50 PPM, 8 & 12 HR. TWA
WEEL (AIHA): 50 PPM, 8 HR. TWA
* AEL IS DU PONT'S ACCEPTABLE EXPOSURE LIMIT. WHERE GOVERNMENTALLY IMPOSED
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS WHICH ARE LOWER THAN THE AEL ARE IN EFFECT,
SUCH LIMITS SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE.

| TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
ANIMAL DATA:
HCFC-123:
DERMAL ALD, RABBIT: >2000 MG/KG
ORAL ALD, RAT: 9000 MG/KG
INHALATION 4 HOUR, LC50, RAT: 32,000 PPM
ANIMAL TESTING INDICATES THAT HCFC-123 IS NOT A SKIN IRRITANT OR SKIN
SENSITIZER, BUT IS A MILD TO MODERATE EYE IRRITANT.
TOXIC EFFECTS NOTED IN ANIMALS FROM SINGLE EXPOSURE BY INHALATION AT
CONCENTRATIONS OF 5000 PPM OR GREATER INCLUDE EFFECTS ON UNCONDITIONED
REFLEXES, LOCOMOTOR ACTIVITY AND COORDINATION, SUGGESTING ANESTHETIC
EFFECTS. SINGLE INHALATION EXPOSURES CAUSED CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS,
SUCH AS ANESTHESIA, AND NONSPECIFIC CLINICAL SIGNS AND ORGAN PATHOLOGY
CHANGES. CARDIAC SENSITIZATION OCCURRED IN DOGS AT CONCENTRATIONS OF
20,000 PPM AND GREATER.
REPEATED EXPOSURES TO 300 PPM AND HIGHER RESULTED IN DECREASED CHOLESTEROL,
TRIGLYCERIDES OR GLUCOSE, AND INCREASED URINARY FLUORIDE LEVELS. AT 5000
PPM OR GREATER, ANESTHETIC EFFECTS, REDUCED LYMPHOCYTE COUNTS, ORGAN WEIGHT
CHANGES, INCLUDING INCREASED LIVER WEIGHT, AND ENZYME ALTERATIONS, AND
DECREASED BODY WEIGHT GAIN WERE OBSERVED. EXPOSURE TO DOGS, GUINEA PIGS OR
MONKEYS AT 1000 PPM OR GREATER INDUCED SLIGHT OR MILD LIVER DAMAGE.
HCFC-123 WAS NOT NEUROTOXIC IN ANIMALS REPEATEDLY EXPOSED BY INHALATION AT
CONCENTRATIONS UP TO 5,000 PPM, BUT DID CAUSE A SLIGHT DECREASE IN AROUSAL
AT THIS CONCENTRATION.
LONG-TERM EXPOSURE CAUSED DECREASED BODY WEIGHT, DECREASED CHOLESTEROL,
TRIGLYCERIDES AND GLUCOSE, AND INCREASED URINARY FLUORIDE CONCENTRATIONS IN
RATS. INHALATION OF 300, 1000 OR 5000 PPM FOR TWO YEARS CAUSED AN INCREASE
IN BENIGN TESTICULAR TUMORS IN MALE RATS. AN INCREASE IN BENIGN PANCREATIC
AND LIVER TUMORS WAS OBSERVED IN RATS EXPOSED TO 1000 OR 5000 PPM. THE
TUMORS WERE LATE-OCCURRING AND NONE WERE JUDGED TO BE LIFE-THREATENING. THE
BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE TUMORS TO MAN IS CONSIDERED TO BE LIMITED.
ADDITIONALLY, EVIDENCE OF RETINAL ATROPHY WAS OBSERVED IN THIS TWO-YEAR
STUDY IN BOTH TREATED AND CONTROL ANIMALS, ALTHOUGH THE TOXICOLOGICAL
SIGNIFICANCE IS UNDETERMINED.
ANIMAL DATA INDICATE THAT HCFC-123 DOES NOT AFFECT REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE
IN RATS OR HARM THE UNBORN ANIMAL. HCFC-123 DOES NOT PRODUCE GENETIC DAMAGE
IN BACTERIAL CELL CULTURES OR IN ANIMALS. IN TWO STUDIES, GENETIC DAMAGE
WAS PRODUCED IN MAMMALIAN CELL CULTURES, BUT DID NOT PRODUCE GENETIC DAMAGE
IN ANOTHER STUDY. OVERALL WEIGHT OF EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT HCFC-123 IS NOT
MUTAGENIC.
