If swallowedNever give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedINHALATION: high concentrations cause dizziness, anesthesia, lung irritation. SKIN: may cause frostbite; phenol inhibitor may be absorbed through skin if large amounts of liquid evaporate. (USCG, 1999)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessaryImmediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Carbon tetrachloride and related compounds/

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.

10.2 Chemical stabilityMay produce peroxides.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsDangerous, when exposed to heat or flame, or oxidizers. Large fires of this material are practically inextinguishable.The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. Vapours are uninhibited and may polymerize, causing blockage of vents.Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air.VINYL CHLORIDE is peroxidizable. Forms explosive polymeric peroxides in contact with air (in the presence of any of a variety of catalysts) [Bretherick 1979. p. 164]. Long storage in contact with air increases the concentration of the polyperoxides to hazardous levels [MCA Case History 1551. 1969]. The peroxides may initiate exothermic polymerization of the remaining material [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980.p. 958; Bretherick 1979. p. 160]. Light-sensitive. Many oxidizing agents apparently initiate polymerization (oxides of nitrogen, O2, etc.). May react with very hot water or steam to produce toxic fumes.
10.4 Conditions to avoidno data available
10.5 Incompatible materialsOn treatment with strong alkalis at high temperatures it loses hydrogen chloride.

Reproductive toxicitySeveral case reports suggest that male sexual performance may be affected by vinyl chloride. However, these studies are limited by lack of quantitative exposure information and possible co-occurring exposure to other chemicals. Several epidemiological studies have reported an association between vinyl chloride exposure in pregnant women and an increased incidence of birth defects, while other studies have not reported similar findings. Epidemiological studies have suggested an association between men occupationally exposed to vinyl chloride and miscarriages in their wives' pregnancies although other studies have not supported these findings. Testicular damage and decreased male fertility have been reported in rats exposed to low levels for up to 12 months. Animal studies have reported decreased fetal weight and birth defects at levels that are also toxic to maternal animals in the offspring of rats exposed to vinyl chloride through inhalation.

12.Ecological information 12.1 Toxicity- Toxicity to fish: no data available
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
AEROBIC: Limited existing data indicate that vinyl chloride is resistant to biodegradation in aerobic systems(1,2). Vinyl chloride, present at 2.04 and 10.2 mg/L, reached 16 and 3% of its theoretical BOD, respectively, in 28 days using an activated sludge inoculum at 1 drop/L in the Japanese MITI test(3). Aerobic biodegradation of vinyl chloride was measured in sediment at two sites in Denmark; >99% was removed in 204 and 274 days(4). The biodegradation half-life of vinyl chloride in aerobic waters was reported as 28 days(5). Vinyl chloride had a biodegradation rate of 1.456 ug/g soil/hr in soil from Skellingsted landfill in Holback, Denmark, incubated with methane(6).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialThe BCF value of vinyl chloride in golden ide fish was reported as <10(1). The BCF value of vinyl chloride in green algae was reported as 40(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCFs suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of vinyl chloride has been reported to be 57(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that vinyl chloride is expected to have 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.
