Description of first aid measures
If inhaledFresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Exposure may cause nausea, dizziness, and headache, and rapid suffocation. Contact with skin may cause frostbite. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
For immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If victim is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if 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 victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Chlorinated fluorocarbons
Extinguishing media
If material involved in fire: Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty.) Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic fumes of Cl and F (USCG, 1999)
Advice for firefighters
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water.

Information on basic physicochemical properties
- Physical state
Chlorotrifluoromethane is a colorless odorless gas. It is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. It is noncombustible. It can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire may cause it to rupture violently and rocket.

Reactivity
Decomposes on burning. Decomposes on contact with hot surfaces. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and phosgene. Incompatible with certain metal powders (aluminium, zinc, beryllium).
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Nonflammable.The 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)].

STOT-single exposure
Exposure could cause narcotic effects. Exposure at high concentrations could cause asphyxiation. The substance may cause effects on the cardiovascular system. This may result in impaired functions.
STOT-repeated exposure
no data available
Aspiration hazard
On loss of containment this substance can cause suffocation by lowering the oxygen content of the air in confined areas. See Notes.

Persistence and degradability
Highly chlorinated/fluorinated compounds are not expected to biodegrade rapidly(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 10 was calculated for chlorotrifluoromethane(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 1.65(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of chlorotrifluoromethane is estimated as approximately 188(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 1.65(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that chlorotrifluoromethane is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
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.
Containers 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.
