8.Exposure controls/personal protection 8.1 Control parameters Occupational Exposure limit valuesHandle with caution in the work place.
NIOSH considers ethylene dichloride; hexachloroethane; 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane; and 1,1,2-trichloroethane; to be potential occupational carcinogens. Additionally, NIOSH recommends that the other five chloroethane compounds: 1,1-dichloroethane; ethyl chloride; methyl chloroform; pentachloroethane; and 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane be treated in the workplace with caution because of their structural similarity to the four chloroethanes shown to be carcinogenic in animals.
Biological limit valuesno data available
8.2 Appropriate engineering controlsHandle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) Eye/face protectionSafety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
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.

10.2 Chemical stabilityAT LOW TEMP OR UNDER INCREASED PRESSURE, ETHYL CHLORIDE IS A MOBILE, VERY VOLATILE LIQUID.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsFLAMMABLE GAS AT ORDINARY TEMP AND PRESSURE.The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.ETHYL CHLORIDE is heat sensitive. This compound will hydrolyze in the presence of alkalis and water. It reacts with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes. It can also react vigorously with oxidizing materials. The vapor forms highly flammable mixtures with air. A mixture of this compound with potassium is shock-sensitive. Contact with chemically active metals such as Na, K, Ca, powdered Al, Zn and Mg may result in violent reactions.

10.5 Incompatible materials... CAN REACT VIGOROUSLY WITH OXIDIZING MATERIALS.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition productsThermally stable to 400°C; thermal splitting yields ethylene and hydrogen chloride.

CarcinogenicityEvaluation: No epidemiological data relevant to the carcinogenicity of chloroethane. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of chloroethane. Overall evaluation: Chloroethane is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).
Reproductive toxicityNo studies were located regarding reproductive or developmental effects following ethyl chloride inhalation exposure in humans. Several animal studies found no reproductive effects caused by ethyl chloride exposure. An animal study reported a decrease in uterine weights, while another study reported minimal evidence of fetotoxicity (increase in centers of unossified bones of the skull) from inhalation exposure to ethyl chloride.

- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
AEROBIC: Ethyl chloride, present at 1.84 and 4.19 mg/l, reached 1% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 2 mg/l and the closed bottle test(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialFood chain concn potential: none
12.4 Mobility in soilUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for ethyl chloride can be estimated to be 24(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that ethyl chloride is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
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.
