2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Colorless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor. Non-flammable material. Overexposure may cause dizziness
and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. Vapors
displace air and can cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. At higher temperatures, (>250ºC), decomposition
products may include Hydrochloric Acid (HCI), Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and carbonyl halides.
POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS
SKIN Irritation would result from a defatting action on tissue. Liquid contact could cause frostbite.
EYES Liquid contact can cause severe irritation and frostbite. Mist may irritate.
INHALATION R-32 is low in acute toxicity in animals. When oxygen levels in air are reduced to 12-14% by
displacement, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, increased pulse rate and deeper
respiration will occur. At high levels, cardiac arrhythmia may occur.
INGESTION Ingestion is unlikely because of the low boiling point of the material. Should it occur, discomfort
in the gastrointestinal tract from rapid evaporation of the material and consequent evolution of
gas would result. Some effects of inhalation and skin exposure would be expected.
