HALON 1211
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ENVIRONMENTAL PREGAUTIONS: All release to the environment should be avoided as this gas has an ozone
depletion potential and a global warming potential. Run-off water may be contaminated by other materials and should be
contained to prevent possible environmental damage.
REFERENCE TO OTHER SECTIONS: See information in Section 8 (Exposure Controls - Personal Protection) and Section 13
(Disposal Considerations) for additional information.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING: Releases of Halon 1211 can create an oxygen-deficient atmosphere. Be aware of
any signs of dizziness or fatigue, exposures to fatal concentrations could occur without any significant warning symptoms, due to
oxygen-deficiency. All work operations should be monitored in such a way that emergency personnel can be immediately contacted in
the event of a release. Wearing contact lenses is not recommended when handling this gas.
Cylinder valves should be inspected regularly for physical damage or corrosion (apparent by discoloration or rust). Care should be
taken to inspect the following valve locations for corrosion: neck (where valve inserts into cylinder); bonnet nut (where handle attaches
to valve body). Close valve after each use and when empty.
Do not drag, roll, slide or drop cylinder. Use a suitable hand truck designed for cylinder movement. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by
its cap. Secure cylinders at all times while in use. Use a pressure regulator to safely discharge product from cylinder. Use a check
valve to prevent reverse flow into cylinder. Once cylinder has been connected to properly purged process, open cylinder valve slowly
and carefully. lf user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve, discontinue use and contact supplier. Never insert an object
(e.9., wrench, screwdriver, etc.) into valve cap openings; doing so may damage valve, causing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable
strap-wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps.
Do not heat cylinders by any means to increase the discharge rate of product from the cylinder. Never apply flame or localized heat
directly to any part of the cylinder. Cylinders should not be artificially cooled as certain types of steel undergo property changes when
cryogenically cooled, thus making the cylinder unstable.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE: Always store and handle compressed gas cylinders in accordance with Compressed Gas
Association, lnc. at vvww.cqanet.com pamphlet CGA P-1 , Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers. Local regulations may
require specific equipment for storage and use. Cylinders should be stored upright and be firmly secured to prevent falling or being
knocked-over. Cylinders can be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be protected against extremes of weather and from the
dampness of the ground to prevent rusting. Cylinders should be stored in dry, well-ventilated areas away from sources of heat, ignition
and direct sunlight. Do not allow area where cylinders are stored to exceed 52"C (125"F). Store containers away from heavily
trafficked areas and emergency exits. lsolate from other non compatible chemicals (refer to Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Store
away from process and production areas, away from elevators, building and room exits or main aisles leading to exits. Protect
cylinders against physical damage. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a first-in, first-out inventory systems to
prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time. NOTE: Use only DOT or ASME code cylinders designed for
compressed gas storage. Cylinders must not be recharged except by or with the consent of owner.
STANDARD VALVE CONNECTIONS FOR U.S. AND CANADA: Use the proper CGA connections, DO NOT USE
ADAPTERS:
PRODUCT USE: This product is used as a fire-extinguishing agent, refrigerant gas and as a cleaning agent.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMTNATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in
Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures). Relieve pressure before attempting repairs.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

SECTION 1 1. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ROUTES OF ENTRY, SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE: WARNING-If rescue personnet need to enter an area in which a
release of Halon 1211 has occurred, they should be equipped with Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate
personal protective equipment. High concentration of this gas will create an oxygen-deficiLnt atmosphere, creating the risk of
asphyxiation.
Eye Contact: Release of a high-pressure gas may result in airborne objects.
lngestion: lngestion of this gas is not a likely route of industrial exposure.
lnhalation: lnhalation of high concentrations of this gas may lead to heart arrhythmias. High concentrations of this gas can muse
an oxygen-deficient environment. lndividuals breathing such an atmosphere may experience symptoms which include headaches,
ringing in ears, dizziness, drowsiness, unconsciousness, nausea, vomiting, and depression of att the senses. The skin of a victim
may have a blue color. Under some circumstances of over-exposure, death may occur, due to the displacement of oxygen. The
effects associated with various levels of oxygen are described on the following page.

WARNING: Exposure to atmospheres containing 8-10% or less oxygen will bring about unconsciousness without warning
and so quickly that individuals cannot help or protect themselves. Lack of sufficient oxygen may cause serious injury oi
death.
Skin Contact: Transitory skin contact should not cause any adverse effects.
Other Acute Health Effects: Contact with rapidly expanding gases (which are released from under high pressure) may cause
frostbite. Symptoms of frostbite include change in skin color to white or grayish-yellow. The pain caused by frostbite can quickly
subside, masking the injury. ln addition, the sudden release of a pressurized gas (such as may occur in the event of a valve
failure), presents a severe hazard of mechanical injury.
Acute Exposure Target Organs: Respiratory system.

ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGICAL DATA:
Acute: lnhalation-Rat: At 50,000 ppm, no effects were noted. At 75,000 ppm, slightly accelerated respiration was noted. At
100,000 ppm, mild excitement was seen. At 200,000 ppm, within 1 to 2 minutes marked excitation and some convulsions were
noted. At 60 to 90 minutes, 2 of the 4 animals died. A concentration of 300,000 ppm immediately gave rise to convulsions and
narcosis and all animals died within 50 min. lnhalation-Dog: At 25,000 to 75,000 ppm for 3.5 hours, there was reversible
myocardial lesions and fatty degeneration of the liver.
Chronic: A case of occupational rhabdomyolysis in an individual susceptible to malignant hyperthermia was described. A 43
year old male was found to have a serum creatine-kinase activity of 650 international units per liter, normal range 10 to 200
international units/liter, suggesting that he was susceptible to malignant hyperthermia. His susceptibility was confirmed by in
vitro testing of a muscle specimen with halothane and caffeine. The subject was subsequently employed in a factory that mide
fire extinguishers where one of his jobs consisted of discharging Bromochlorodifluoromethane from fire extinguishers before
refilling them. Although discharging was done in open air, some gas was commonly inhaled. Eighteen monthsLfter beginning
this work, he was examined for complaints of malaise and stiffness and weakness in the forearms and hands. The symptomi
progressively worsened during the week and improved the weekends. Serum creatine-kinase activity was 1056 lUil on one
Saturday and 544 lU/l the following Monday. Because of the similarity in structure between Bromochlorodifluoromethane and
halothane, the effects of the former on contractions of a muscle specimen were examined. Bromochlorodifluoromethane
induced contractions identical to those of halothane. The patient was advised to change jobs. After he did so his symptoms
immediately improved. It was concluded that the patient's rhabdomyolysis is due to recurring exposures to
Bromochlorodifluoromethane. They recommended that persons susceptible to malignant hyperthermia avoid exposure to
similar halogenated hydrocarbons. lnhalation-Human: At 4 to 5o/o for 1 minute using face mask, subjects at 30 seconds became
slightly dizzy and light-headed. Over the next few seconds, these symptoms rapidly increased in severity until at 1 minute the
subjects felt as though they were about to lose consciousness and exposure was stopped. Paresthesia oi the fingers and other
parts of the body was sometimes noted towards the end of the experiment. Heart rate rose by approximately 3b% during the
early stages of exposure and remained at that level through the experiment. Depression of the T wave was consistenly
observed on the ECG tracings. The subjects recovered rapidly on cessation of exposure and felt perfectly normal again within 5
minutes. The heart rate and the ECG reverted to normal within 1 minute. There were no delayed after effects. lnhalation-Dog:
At 5,000 to 100,000 ppm resulted in cardiac sensitization above 20,000 ppm and in 10 to 0.5 minutes, depending o-n
concentration.
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT: Not applicabte.
SENSITIZATION OF PRODUCT: Halon 1211 is not a human skin or respiratory sensitizer, but has been shown to be a cardiac
sensitizer in animal studies.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXIGITY INFORMATION: Haton 1211 is not reported to cause mutagenic, embryotoxic, teratogenic or
reproductive toxicity effects in humans. No animal data are available.
BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEls): Currently, Biological Exposure lndices (BEls) have not been determined for Haton
1211.

HALON 1211
SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ALL WORK PRACTICES MUST BE AIMED AT ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
MOBILITY: Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices, the Koc for Halon 1211 can be
estimated to be about 49. According to a classification scheme, this estimated Koc value suggests that Halon 1211 is expected to
have very high mobility in soil.
PERSISTENCE AND BIODEGRADABILIW: Photodegradation: > 50% after 14 years. lf released to air, a vapor pressure of
2.07X10+3 mm Hg at25"C indicates Halon 1211 will exist solely in the gas phase in the ambient atmosphere. Gas phase
Bromochlorodifluoromethane will slowly be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroryl
radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be greater lhan 44 years. Halon 1211 absorbs very little UV radiation
above 290 nm and is not expected to photolyze al a significant rate in the ambient atmosphere. Volatilization from moist soil
surfaces is expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.4X1A-2 atm-cu m/mole.
Halon 1211 will volatilize rapidly from dry soil surfaces since it exists as a gas in the ambient environment. lf released into water,
Halon 1211 is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. Volatilization from water
surfaces is expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. Estimated
volatilization halfJives for a model river and model lake are'1 .3 hrs and 5.1 days, respectively. Given its high degree of
halogenation, it is not expected to be an important degradation pathway for Halon '1211.
POTENTIAL TO BIOACCUMULATE: An estimated BCF of 5.8 was calculated for Halon 1211, using an estimated log Kow of
1.9 and a regression-derived equation. According to a classification scheme, this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration
in aquatic organisms is low.
ECOTOXICITY: There is currently no evidence of adverse effects from exposure to Halon 1211 on aquatic life. lmmediate adverse
effect on plants would be related to oxygen-deficient environments or frost from rapidly expanding gases.
OZONE-DEPLETION POTENTIAL: Halon 1211 is rated as 3 (compared to trichlorofluoromethane nominally 1). Halon 1211 is
a Class I ozone depleting chemical (40 CFR Paft82). Halon 1211 may contribute to global warming.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS: Controls should be engineered to prevent release to the environment,
including procedures to prevent spills, atmospheric release and release to waterways.
RESULTS OF PBT and vPvB ASSESSMENT: No data available. PBT and vPvB assessments are part of the chemical safety
for some substances in Union 190712006. Article 14.
