	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Highly flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Risk of fire and explosion on contact with incompatible substances. See Chemical Dangers.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling.	Use powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

STRICT HYGIENE! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat. Headache. Dizziness. Weakness. Laboured breathing. Vomiting. Unconsciousness.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness. Burning sensation. Pain.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Blurred vision.	Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Vomiting.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. Physical dangers The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. Chemical dangers The substance polymerizes under the influence of acids, heat and peroxides. This generates fire or explosion hazard. On combustion, forms toxic and corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride (see ICSC 0163). Reacts violently with strong oxidants and powdered metals. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Reacts with water. This produces hydrochloric acid. Attacks plastics, rubber and coatings.	Formula: C₃H₅Cl / CH₂=CHCH₂Cl Molecular mass: 76.5 Boiling point: 45°C Melting point: -135°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.94 Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20°C: 0.36 Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 39.3 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.6 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.6 Flash point: -32°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 390°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 2.9-11.2 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.1

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Inhalation of high concentrations of the vapour may cause lung oedema. See Notes. The effects may be delayed.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance may have effects on the peripheral nervous system, cardiovascular system, kidneys and liver. This may result in kidney impairment and liver impairment.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Inhalation of high concentrations of the vapour may cause lung oedema. See Notes. The effects may be delayed.

Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the peripheral nervous system, cardiovascular system, kidneys and liver. This may result in kidney impairment and liver impairment.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 1 ppm as TWA; 2 ppm as STEL; (skin); A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans). MAK: skin absorption (H); carcinogen category: 3

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.

NOTES
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered.
