ACUTE EXPOSURE GUIDELINE LEVELS FOR CARBONYL FLUORIDE. Additional acute animal studies in other species and with a greater range of concentrations would be helpful in deriving AEGL values. Available: http://www.inchem.org/documents/icsc/icsc/eics1216.htm [accessed May 2013]. DuPont de Nemours and Company, Inc.). Coleman. (1968a) was not considered relevant because animals were exposed to a mixture of pyrolysis products of polytetrafluoroethylene, including carbonyl fluoride (Arito and Soda 1977). At higher concentrations (26.7 ppm and higher for 4 h), death occurred indicating a steep exposure-response curve (DuPont 1976). Share a link to this book page on your preferred social network or via email. 2020 Aug 26. 1 H318 - Causes serious eye damage STOT SE 1 H370 - Causes damage to organs (lung) STOT RE 1 H372 - Causes damage to organs (kidneys, skeleton) through prolonged or repeated exposure The AEGL-3 values for carbonyl fluoride are presented in Table 2-5. Show this book's table of contents, where you can jump to any chapter by name. P[response] = Background + (1-Background), where CumNorm(.) No AEGL-1 values for carbonyl fluoride were derived because of insufficient data. 353-50-4). However, the toxicity of carbonyl fluoride is greater than that of hydrogen fluoride, and may be the result of the chemical’s deep penetration into the lungs as well as the production of hydrogen fluoride. Carbonyl Fluoride Section 8. No human data relevant to developing AEGL-2 values for carbonyl fluoride were found. pulmonary edema following a latency period of 24 h or longer (NRC 2002). AMRL-TR-70-77. response curve. Details of the animal study of carbonyl fluoride (DuPont 1956) were insufficient to consider using it as a basis to derive AEGL-1 values. Perfluoroisobutylene. Microfiche No. Rats from both sexes were exposed for durations of 5 and 10 min to nominal concentrations of 10,000 to 57,000 ppm HF or 500 to 10,000 ppm COF2. Sign up for email notifications and we'll let you know about new publications in your areas of interest when they're released. II, Part F, G.F. Clayton, and F.E. Exposure at 310 ppm resulted in focal hemorrhage of the lungs and pulmonary edema, observed 24 h after exposure. Furthermore, some substances can be found in an article, but with unlikely exposure (e.g. 1986). Larkin. No other information was reported. AEGL-2 values are based on a three-fold reduction of the AEGL-3 values because experimental data were not available to empirically derive AEGL-2 values. Phosgene. Washington, DC: National Academy Press. Scheel et al. Coleman, E., L.D. There are no human data available on carbonyl fluoride. Carbonyl Difluoride. The calculated BMC01 was 10.4 ppm and the BMCL05 was 5.2 ppm. 5.2 ppm ÷ 10 = 0.52 ppm Am. 2004. Carbonyl fluoride | + OHS Research. TABLE E-1 Data Used in the Category Plot for Carbonyl Fluoride. The toxicity of polytetrafluoroethylene pyrolysis products – including carbonyl fluoride and a reaction product, silicon tetrafluoride. Comments: There are no data available for carbonyl fluoride regarding its irritation or corrosion ability. MyNAP members SAVE 10% off online. Protein, glucose, ketones, and occult blood were detected in the urine. The identification of toxic compounds in the pyrolysis products of polytetrafluoroethylene. Pyrolysis products are composed of a large number of compounds, can be of variable composition, and pose significant analytic challenges. DuPont, Haskell Laboratory, Newark, DE, Threshold for lethality; BMCL05 of 5.2 ppm, The concentration-exposure duration relationship for many irritant and systemically-acting vapors and gases may be described by, the relationship Cn × t = k, where the exponent n ranges from 0.8 to 3.5 (ten Berge et al. Inhalation If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. The NRC committee has concluded that the AEGLs developed in this document are scientifically valid conclusions based on the data reviewed by the NRC and are consistent with the NRC guidelines reports (NRC 1993, 2001). The authors stated that those effects were produced at the same concentration in other species, including the dog, rabbit, guinea pig, and mouse, although individual data and photomicrographs of the lungs were not provided for those species. J. 4.4.3. Standing Operating Procedures for Developing Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Chemicals. Prolonged exposure of the containers to fire or heat may result in violent rupturing and rocketing. The values of ACGIH and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health were determined by analogy with fluorides and hydrogen fluoride and are intended to minimize the potential for pulmonary irritation and disabling bone changes. Exposure via inhalation produces pulmonary hemorrhage, congestion, and death in laboratory animals (HSDB 2012). Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. Equilibrium is rapidly reached (Perry et al. Objective: 1968a. (1968), which identified carbonyl fluoride as a principal toxic component of the pyrolysis gases, as their rationale for using polytetrafluoroethylene pyrolysis to produce carbonyl fluoride. Haskell Laboratory Report No. HSDB (Hazardous Substances Data Bank). TABLE 2-1 AEGL Values for Carbonyl Fluoride. Increased levels of succinic dehydrogenase activity were produced in the lungs. 1 mg/m3 = 0.37 ppm. Suitable products for Carbonyl fluoride CF 2 O. Hazmat Table (49 CFR 172.101) What is this information? DuPont (E.I. Scheel et al. (1968a) provides some support for a factor of 3. There should be at least 60 min between successive exposures in that range. The study by Scheel et al. While carbonyl fluoride is a major pyrolysis product, it is not the only pyrolysis product produced (Arito and Soda 1977) and the rats were probably exposed to other compounds that contain fluoride. 1998 Oct 23;55(4):241-75. doi: 10.1080/009841098158430. Do you want to take a quick tour of the OpenBook's features? AEGL-1 values for carbonyl fluoride are not recommended because of insufficient data. 1986). In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing ⦠In the absence of empirical data on carbonyl fluoride, the AEGL-2 values for carbonyl fluoride were set at one-third of the AEGL-3 values. 7664-39-3). Although the authors state that the exposures were to carbonyl fluoride at 50 ppm, the total exposure reported of 158 ppm-h and graphic data presented in the report indicate that successive daily exposures were at concentrations of 52, 43, 29, 25, and 9 ppm. No data regarding the developmental or reproductive toxicity of carbonyl fluoride in humans were found. No case reports or epidemiologic studies of exposure to carbonyl fluoride were found. The threshold limit value–time-weighted average for carbonyl fluoride was established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) on the basis of data from Scheel et al. Key reference: DuPont (E.I. | Chi-square = 6.26 d.f. 1970. Register for a free account to start saving and receiving special member only perks. ASA Newsletter [online]. That procedure, based on guidance in NRC (2001), is applicable for chemicals with steep concentration-response curves. You're looking at OpenBook, NAP.edu's online reading room since 1999. No information was available on populations especially sensitive to carbonyl fluoride toxicity. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. 50ppm fluoride treated, (C) 100ppm fluoride treated and (C) 200ppm fluoride treated lens. Kamellia Nejati, Akram Hosseinian, Esmail Vessally, Ahmadreza Bekhradnia, Ladan Edjlali. 2012. Inhalation Toxicology 2018, 30 (3) , 114-123. Share. (1968a) provides some support for a factor of 3. Gives off white fumes in moist air. Research at the IRSST + Research Priorities. Clayton, eds. The NAC reviewed and revised the document and AEGLs as deemed necessary. The investigators stated that those effects were produced at the same concentration in other species, including the dog, rabbit, guinea pig, and mouse, although individual data and photomicrographs of the lungs were not provided for those species. A latency period was not reported by DuPont (1976), but Scheel et al. bREL-TWA (recommended exposure limit – time-weighted average, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) (NIOSH 2011a) is defined as the time-weighted average concentration for up to a 10-h workday during a 40-h workweek. 2004. Intraspecies: 3, effects of a direct-acting irritant of the lungs and respiratory tract are not expected to differ greatly among individuals. Assoc. However, carbonyl fluoride was generated via polytetrafluoroethylene pyrolysis in that study; therefore, exposure included other pyrolysis products. The odor of carbonyl fluoride is described as pungent and irritating (NIOSH 2011a), but no information on the odor threshold was available. (1968a) reported deep lung focal hemorrhage and edema in rats exposed for 1 h to carbonyl fluoride produced from polytetrafluoroethylene pyrolysis. Based on feedback from you, our users, we've made some improvements that make it easier than ever to read thousands of publications on our website. TOXNET, Specialized Information Services, U.S. National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD [online]. APPENDIX A Guidelines for Developing Community Emergency Exposure Levels for Hazardous Substances. For polytetrafluoroethylene, pyrolysis products include a number of highly toxic compounds in addition to carbonyl fluoride, including perfluoroisobutylene, which is approximately 10-fold more toxic than phosgene (Patocka and Bajgar 1998; IPCS 2004). 1998 Jun;27(3):207-16. doi: 10.1006/rtph.1998.1203. Scheel L.D., L. McMillan, and F.C. AEGL-3 values for carbonyl fluoride are based on a BMCL05 derived from lethality data in rats. Keywords: On day 1 and 5 of the exposure period, and 3, 7, and 18 days postexposure urine samples were collected and examined for fluoride excretion and glucose, protein, and ketones.
