SUMMARY OF EXPOSURE
0.2.1.1 ACUTE EXPOSURE
o A SPECIFIC REVIEW on the clinical effects and treatment
of individuals exposed to this agent HAS NOT YET BEEN
PREPARED. The following pertains to the GENERAL
EVALUATION and TREATMENT of individuals exposed to
potentially toxic chemicals.
o GENERAL EVALUATION -
1. Exposed individuals should have a careful, thorough
medical history and physical examination performed,
looking for any abnormalities. Exposure to chemicals
with a strong odor often results in such nonspecific
symptoms as headache, dizziness, weakness, and nausea.
o IRRITATION -
1. Many chemicals cause irritation of the eyes, skin, and
respiratory tract. Respiratory tract irritation, if
severe, can progress to pulmonary edema, which may be
delayed in onset for up to 24 to 72 hours in some
cases.
2. Irritation or burns of the esophagus or
gastrointestinal tract are also possible if caustic or
irritant chemicals are ingested.
o HYPERSENSITIVITY -
1. A number of chemical agents produce an allergic
hypersensitivity dermatitis or asthma with
bronchospasm and wheezing with chronic exposure.
|
| Laboratory: |
o A number of chemicals produce abnormalities of the
hematopoietic system, liver, and kidneys. Monitoring
complete blood count, urinalysis, and liver and kidney
function tests is suggested for patients with significant
exposure.
o If respiratory tract irritation or respiratory depression
is evident, monitor arterial blood gases, chest x-ray, and
pulmonary function tests.
|
| Treatment Overview: |
SUMMARY EXPOSURE
o A specific review on the clinical effects and treatment
of individuals exposed to this agent has not yet been
prepared. The following pertains to the general
evaluation and treatment of individuals exposed to
potentially toxic chemicals.
o Move victims of inhalation exposure from the toxic
environment and administer 100% humidified supplemental
oxygen with assisted ventilation as required. Exposed
skin and eyes should be copiously flushed with water.
1. Rescuers must not enter areas with potential high
airborne concentrations of this agent without
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) to avoid
becoming secondary victims.
o Measures to decrease absorption may be useful. The
decision to induce or not to induce emesis in ingestions
must be carefully considered. If the patient has any
signs of esophageal or gastrointestinal tract irritation
or burns, or has evidence of a decreased sensorium, a
depressed gag reflex, or impending shock, INDUCED EMESIS
SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
ORAL EXPOSURE
o GASTRIC LAVAGE
1. Significant esophageal or gastrointestinal tract
irritation or burns may occur following ingestion. The
possible benefit of early removal of some ingested
material by cautious gastric lavage must be weighed
against potential complications of bleeding or
perforation.
2. GASTRIC LAVAGE: Consider after ingestion of a
potentially life-threatening amount of poison if it can
be performed soon after ingestion (generally within 1
hour). Protect airway by placement in Trendelenburg
and left lateral decubitus position or by endotracheal
intubation. Control any seizures first.
a. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Loss of airway protective reflexes
or decreased level of consciousness in unintubated
patients; following ingestion of corrosives;
hydrocarbons (high aspiration potential); patients at
risk of hemorrhage or gastrointestinal perforation;
and trivial or non-toxic ingestion.
o ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
1. Activated charcoal binds most toxic agents and can
decrease their systemic absorption if administered soon
after ingestion. In general, metals and acids are
poorly bound and patients ingesting these materials
will not likely benefit from activated charcoal
administration.
a. Activated charcoal should not be given to patients
ingesting strong acidic or basic caustic chemicals.
Activated charcoal is also of unproven value in
patients ingesting irritant chemicals, where it may
obscure endoscopic findings when the procedure is
justified.
2. ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: Administer charcoal as slurry (240
mL water/30 g charcoal). Usual dose: 25 to 100 g in
adults/adolescents, 25 to 50 g in children (1 to 12
years), and 1 g/kg in infants less than 1 year old.
o DILUTION -
1. Immediate dilution with milk or water may be of benefit
in caustic or irritant chemical ingestions.
2. DILUTION: Following ingestion and/or prior to gastric
evacuation, immediately dilute with 4 to 8 ounces (120
to 240 mL) of milk or water (not to exceed 15 mL/kg in
a child).
o IRRITATION -
1. Observe patients with ingestion carefully for the
possible development of esophageal or gastrointestinal
tract irritation or burns. If signs or symptoms of
esophageal irritation or burns are present, consider
endoscopy to determine the extent of injury.
o OBSERVATION CRITERIA -
1. Carefully observe patients with ingestion exposure for
the development of any systemic signs or symptoms and
administer symptomatic treatment as necessary.
2. Patients symptomatic following exposure should be
observed in a controlled setting until all signs and
symptoms have fully resolved.
INHALATION EXPOSURE
o DECONTAMINATION -
1. INHALATION: Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for
respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing
develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation,
bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and
assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm
with beta2 agonist and corticosteroid aerosols.
o IRRITATION -
1. Respiratory tract irritation, if severe, can progress
to pulmonary edema which may be delayed in onset up to
24 to 72 hours after exposure in some cases.
o PULMONARY EDEMA/NON-CARDIOGENIC -
1. PULMONARY EDEMA (NONCARDIOGENIC): Maintain ventilation
and oxygenation and evaluate with frequent arterial
blood gas or pulse oximetry monitoring. Early use of
PEEP and mechanical ventilation may be needed.
o BRONCHOSPASM -
1. If bronchospasm and wheezing occur, consider treatment
with inhaled sympathomimetic agents.
o OBSERVATION CRITERIA -
1. Carefully observe patients with inhalation exposure for
the development of any systemic signs or symptoms and
administer symptomatic treatment as necessary.
2. Patients symptomatic following exposure should be
observed in a controlled setting until all signs and
symptoms have fully resolved.
EYE EXPOSURE
o DECONTAMINATION: Irrigate exposed eyes with copious
amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If
irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia
persist, the patient should be seen in a health care
facility.
DERMAL EXPOSURE
o DERMAL DECONTAMINATION -
1. DECONTAMINATION: Remove contaminated clothing and wash
exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. A
physician may need to examine the area if irritation
or pain persists.
o PESTICIDES -
1. DECONTAMINATION: Remove contaminated clothing and
jewelry. Wash the skin, including hair and nails,
vigorously; do repeated soap washings. Discard
contaminated clothing.
o IRRITATION -
1. Treat dermal irritation or burns with standard topical
therapy. Patients developing dermal hypersensitivity
reactions may require treatment with systemic or
topical corticosteroids or antihistamines.
o DERMAL ABSORPTION -
1. Some chemicals can produce systemic poisoning by
absorption through intact skin. Carefully observe
patients with dermal exposure for the development of
any systemic signs or symptoms and administer
symptomatic treatment as necessary.

Environmental Fate & Exposure
Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary:
Benzotrifluoride's production and use in dye chemistry, high polymer chemistry, as a solvent, dielectric fluid, vulcanizing agent, insecticide, and as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. It has been detected in river water, sediments, and in industrial effluent discharge. If released to soil, benzotrifluoride will have low mobility. Volatilization of benzotrifluoride may be important from moist and dry soil surfaces. Benzotrifluoride will not be susceptible to direct photolysis on soil or water surfaces based upon its lack of absorption of light at wavelengths >290 nm. Biodegradation of benzotriflouride will not be an important fate process in soil or water according to a biodegradation study. If released to water, benzotrifluoride may adsorb to suspended solids and sediment. Benzotrifluoride may volatilize from water surfaces with estimated half-lives for a model river and model lake of about 3.6 hours and 4.8 days, respectively. Experimental BCF values of 26-54 and 31-58 suggest that benzotrifluoride will bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms. If released to the atmosphere, benzotrifluoride will exist in the vapor phase. Vapor-phase benzotrifluoride is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of about 35 days. Vapor-phase benzotrifluoride is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone with an estimated half-life of about 6.3 years. Particulate-phase benzotrifluoride may be physically removed from the air by wet and dry deposition. (SRC)
Artificial Pollution Sources:
Benzotrifluoride's production and use in dye chemistry(1), high polymer chemistry(1), as a solvent(2), dielectric fluid(2), vulcanizing agent(2), insecticide(2), and as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals(2), may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).
Environmental Fate:
TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1030(SRC), determined from an experimental log Kow(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that benzotrifluoride will have low mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of benzotrifluoride may be important from moist soil surfaces(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.017 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from experimental values of vapor pressure(4) and water solubility(5), and from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based on an experimental vapor pressure of 38.83 mm Hg(4). Benzotrifluoride will not be susceptible to direct photolysis on soil surfaces based upon its lack of absorption of light at wavelengths >290 nm(6). Biodegradation of benzotriflouride will not be an important fate process in soil according to two aqueous biodegradation tests(7).
AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1030(SRC), determined from an experimental log Kow(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that benzotrifluoride may adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC) in water. Benzotrifluoride may volatilize from water surfaces based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.017 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from experimental values of vapor pressure(4) and water solubility(5). Estimated half-lives for a model river and model lake are 3.6 hours and 4.8 days, respectively(3,SRC). Experimental BCF values of 26-54 and 31-58(7) suggest that benzotrifluoride will bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC) according to a classification scheme(6). Benzotrifluoride will not be susceptible to direct photolysis on water surfaces based upon its lack of absorption of light at wavelengths >290 nm(8). Biodegradation will not be an important fate process in water based on two biodegradation tests(9).
ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a suggested classification scheme(1), an experimental vapor pressure of 38.83 mm Hg at 25 deg C(2,SRC) indicates that benzotrifluoride will exist in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase benzotrifluoride is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals(3); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be about 35 days(3,SRC). Vapor-phase benzotrifluoride is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone(4); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be about 6.3 years(4,SRC). Particulate-phase benzotrifluoride may be physically removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Benzotrifluoride will not be susceptible to direct photolysis based upon its lack of absorption of light at wavelengths >290 nm(5).
Environmental Biodegradation:
Two four-week biodegradation studies using 2 mg/L sludge and benzotrifluoride concentrations of 2.4 and 11.9 mg/L gave theoretical BODs of 0%(1).
Environmental Abiotic Degradation:
The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of benzotrifluoride with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals has been experimentally determined to be 4.6X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 deg C(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 35 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1,SRC). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of benzotrifluoride with ozone has been experimentally determined to be less than 5X10-21 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 deg C(2). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 6.3 years at an atmospheric concentration of 7X10+11 ozone molecules per cu cm(2,SRC). Benzotrifluoride will not be susceptible to direct photolysis based upon its lack of absorption of light at wavelengths >290 nm(3).
Environmental Bioconcentration:
An estimated BCF value of 110 was calculated for benzotrifluoride(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 3.01(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). Bioconcentration factors determined from a six week study in carp using 100 and 10 ug/L benzotrifluoride were 26-54 and 31-58, respectively(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms will be an important fate process(SRC).
Soil Adsorption/Mobility:
The Koc of benzotrifluoride is estimated as approximately 1030(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 3.01(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that benzotrifluoride has low mobility in soil(SRC).
Volatilization from Water/Soil:
The Henry's Law constant for benzotrifluoride is estimated as 0.017 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) from its experimental values for vapor pressure, 38.83 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 451 mg/l(2). This value indicates that benzotrifluoride will volatilize rapidly from water surfaces(3,SRC). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec) is estimated as approximately 3.6 hours(3,SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec) is estimated as approximately 4.8 days(3,SRC). Benzotrifluoride's high vapor pressure(1) and high Henry's Law constant(1,2,SRC) indicate that volatilization from dry and moist soil may occur(SRC).
Environmental Water Concentrations:
SURFACE WATER: Benzotrifluoride has been qualitatively identified in the Niagara River(1).
Effluent Concentrations:
Benzotrifluoride was detected in Bloody Run Creek water (downstream from the Hyde Park landfill) in Niagara Falls, NY at a level of 0.1-1 ppb or in sediment at a level of 0.5-2 ppm(1). Benzotrifluoride has been detected in one out of 63 industrial effluent samples taken from Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Louisiana, Kentucky, Delaware, and Texas at a concentration less than 10 ug/L(2).

Chemical Safety & Handling:
DOT Emergency Guidelines:
Health: Toxic; may be fatal if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with some of these materials will irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Fire or explosion: Highly flammable: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Some may polymerize (P) explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.
Public safety: Call Emergency Response Telephone Number on Shipping Paper first. If Shipping Paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover. Isolate spill or leak area immediately for at least 100 to 200 meters (330 to 660 feet) in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
Protective clothing: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear chemical protective clothing which is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection. Structural firefighters' protective clothing is recommended for fire situations only; it is not effective in spill situations.
Evacuation: Spill: See the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for highlighted substances. For non-highlighted substances, increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation distance shown under "Public safety". Fire: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, isolate for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions.
Fire: CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point. Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. Small fires: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Large fires: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. Do not use straight streams. Fire involving tanks or car/trailer loads: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from the ends of tanks. For massive fire use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.
Spill or leak: Fully encapsulating, vapor protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Small spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Large spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
First aid: Move victim to fresh air. Call emergency medical care. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. Wash skin with soap and water. Keep victim warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.
NFPA Hazard Classification:
Health: 4. 4= Materials that, on very short exposure, could cause deathor major residual injury, including those that are too dangerous to be approached without specialized equipment. A few whiffs of the vapor or gas could cause death, or the vapor or liquid may be fatal, if it penetrates the fire fighters' normal protective gear. The normal full protective clothing available to the typical fire fighter will not provide adequate protection against inhalation or skin contact with these materials.
Flammability: 3. 3= Includes Class IB and IC flammable liquids and materials that can be easily ignited under almost all normal temp conditions. Water may be ineffective in controlling or extinguishing fires in such materials.
Reactivity: 0. 0= Includes materials that are normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and that do not react with water. Normal fire fighting procedures may be used.
Flash Point:
54 DEG F (12 DEG C) (CLOSED CUP)
Fire Fighting Procedures:
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped or safely confined. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources.
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Toxic Combustion Products:
Combustion may product irritants and toxic gases including hydrogen fluoride.
Firefighting Hazards:
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Protective Equipment & Clothing:
Personnel protection: ... Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear appropriate chemical protective gloves, boots and goggles.
Preventive Measures:
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE SUITABLE FOR USE IN ATMOSPHERES CONTAINING BENZOTRIFLUORIDE VAPORS.
If material not on fire and not involved in fire: Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Attempt to stop leak if without undue personnel hazard. Use water spray to knock-down vapors.
Personnel protection: Avoid breathing vapors. Keep upwind. ... Do not handle broken packages unless wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. If contact with the material anticipated, wear appropriate chemical protective clothing.
Evacuation: If material leaking (not on fire) consider evacuation from downwind area based on amount of material spilled, location and weather conditions.
Shipment Methods and Regulations:
No person may /transport,/ offer or accept a hazardous material for transportation in commerce unless that person is registered in conformance ... and the hazardous material is properly classed, described, packaged, marked, labeled, and in condition for shipment as required or authorized by ... /the hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR 171-177)./
