Inhalant chemicals aliphatic hydrocarbons

DOT CLASSIFICATION 6.1 Label Poison SAFETY PROFILE Poison by inhalation and intravenous routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. An irritant. Questionable carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic data. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame. Moderately explosive by spontaneous chemical reaction. To fight fire, use water, CO2, dry chemical. Dehalogenation by reaction with alkalies, metals, etc., will produce spontaneously explosive chloroacetylenes. Violent reaction with NaK aUoy + bromoform. Mixtures with potassium are very shock-sensitive explosives. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of Cl". See also CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, ALIPHATIC. 

DFG MAK Confirmed Animal Carcinogen, Suspected Human Carcinogen SAFETY PROFILE Confirmed carcinogen. Poison by ingestion. Moderately toxic by inhalation and skin contact. Experimental reproductive effects. A skin and severe eye irritant. Mutation data reported. Moderately flammable by heat, flames (sparks), or powerful oxidizers. See also v LLYL COMPOUNDS and CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, ALIPHATIC. When heated to decomposition it yields highly toxic Cr. To fight fire, use water (as a blanket), spray, mist, dry chemical.
