3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Colorless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor.
Non-flammable material. Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At
higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. Vapors displace
air and can cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. At higher temperatures (>250°C),
decomposition products may include Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and carbonyl halides such as
phosgene.
POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS
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.
INHALATION: Genetron MP39 is low in acute toxicity in animals. When oxygen levels in air are reduced to
12-14% by displacement, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, increased pulse
rate and deeper respiration will occur. At high levels, cardiac arrhythmia may occur.
