4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedINHALATION: some narcosis when 10% in air is breathed. (USCG, 1999)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessaryVictims of Freon inhalation require management for hypoxic, CNS anesthetic, and cardiac symptoms. Patients must be removed from the exposure environment, and high-flow supplemental oxygen should be utilized. The respiratory system should be evaluated for injury, aspiration, or pulmonary edema and treated appropriately. CNS findings should be treated supportively. A calm environment with no physical exertion is imperative to avoid increasing endogenous adrenegic levels. Exogenous adrenergic drugs must not be used to avoid inducing sensitized myocardial dysrhythmias. Atropine is ineffective in treating bradyarrhythmias. For ventricular dysrhythmias, diphenylhydantoin and countershock may be effective. Cryogenic dermal injuries should be treated by water bath rewarming at 40 to 42°C until vasodilatory flush has returned. Elevation of the limb and standard frostbite management with late surgical debridement should be utilized. Ocular exposure requires irrigation and slit-lamp evaluation for injury. /Freons/

Skin protectionWear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Respiratory protectionWear dust mask when handling large quantities.

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsNONFLAMMABLE GASThe gas is heavier than air and may accumulate in lowered spaces causing a deficiency of oxygen.The reaction of aluminum with various halogenated hydrocarbons produces a self-sustaining reaction with sufficient heat to melt aluminum pieces, examples of other halogenated hydrocarbons are fluorotrichloromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, chlorodifluoromethane, tetrafluoromethane. The vigor of the reaction appears to be dependent on the combined degree of fluorination and the vapor pressure, [Chem. Eng. News 39(27):44(1961)].

AEROBIC: No evidence of dichlorodifluoromethane biodegradation was found in a microcosm designed to simulate Narragansett Bay in a month-long experiment(1). Dichlorodifluormethane was not biodegraded in soil samples from the Skellinggsted Landfall, Holbaek, Denmark(2). The soil at the site was a loamy sand - 5.7% silt, 88.1% sand, 5.3% gravel; 3.2% w/w organic content, 25% w/w moisture content(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 12 was calculated in fish for dichlorodifluoromethane(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.16(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of dichlorodifluoromethane is estimated as 75(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.16(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). A Koc of 85 mL/g has also been reported, test conditions not specified(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that dichlorodifluoromethane is expected to have high mobility in soil. A log Koc value of 2.05 has been reported, using a batch experiment incubated with methane and a soil water content of 25% w/w(5).
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packagingContainers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
