Safety & Transport Information
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 alloy + 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.Analytical Methods: For occupational chemical analysis use NIOSH: Pentachloroethane, 2517.
