OTHER TSCA ISSUES: HCFC-124 is subject to a SNUR published in the Federal Register on July 22, 1992 at
57 FR32441. The SNUR codified at 40 CFR 721.3180(a)(2)(i) requires communication
of the following:
Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause heart
irregularities, unconsciousness, or death. Intentional misuse can be fatal. Vapor
reduces oxygen available for breathing and is heavier than air. Liquid contact causes
frostbite. The effects in animals from single exposure by inhalation include central
nervous system effects, anesthesia and decreased blood pressure. Cardiac
sensitization occurred in dogs exposed to a concentration of 2.5% in air and given
an intravenous epinephrine challenge. Repeated exposures produced increased liver
weights, anesthetic effects, irregular respiration, poor coordination and nonspecific
effects such as decreased body weight gain. However, no irreversible effects were
seen as evidenced by histopathologic evaluation. As part of an extensive toxicology
program, halogenated chlorofluorocarbon-124 will be tested* in subchronic,
developmental and chronic/cancer studies. Avoid breathing high concentrations of
vapor. Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below
recommended limits. Avoid contact of liquid with skin and eyes. Wear chemical
splash goggles and lined butyl gloves. Do not allow product to contact open flame
or electrical heating elements because dangerous decomposition products may form.
* PAFT studies on HCFC-124 were completed August, 1995. The tests demonstrated
very low acute and subchronic inhalation toxicity. HCFC-124 did not exhibit signs
of chronic toxicity, nor did it cause any tumors in a lifetime study. It is not a
developmental toxicant, nor is it genotoxic.
