SECTION 11: Toxicological information

Acute toxicity:
Perchloroethylene: LD50 Dermal – Rabbit – 3,228 mg/kg; LD50 Oral – Rat – 2,629 mg/kg; LC50 Inhalation – Rat – 34,200 mg/m3 – 8 hr
Trans-1,2-dichloroethylene: LD50 Oral – Mouse – 2,122 mg/kg; LC50 Inhalation – Rat – 96 mg/l – 4 hr
Proprietary Fluorinated Compound: LD50 Oral – Rat – 24.8 mg/l (3,010 ppm); LC50 Inhalation – Rat – >2,000 mg/kg
Petroleum gases, liquified, sweetened, if they contain > 0.1% w/w Butadiene: LC50 Inhalation – Rat – 658 mg/l – 4 hr

Skin corrosion/irritation: Slight irritation to eye and mucous membranes. Irritating to skin.Will remove the natural skin oils resulting in dryness, cracking and dermatitis.Repeated and/or prolonged skin contact may cause reddening, burning and blisters. Permanent damage is unlikely.Can be absorbed through skin but not in sufficient amounts to cause adverse effects.
Serious eye damage/irritation: Causes serious eye irritation.Liquid splashes and high concentrations of vapor may cause irritation with tearing, redness, or a stinging or burning feeling.Effects may become more serious with repeated or prolonged contact.
Respiratory or skin sensitization: Harmful by inhalation.High exposures by inhalation will cause anesthetic effects. This may result in loss of consciousness and could prove fatal if exposure has been severe.In susceptible individuals, cardiac sensitization to circulating epinephrine-like compounds can result in sudden, fatal cardiac arrhythmias.In confined or poorly ventilated areas vapors can readily accumulate and can cause unconsciousness and death.Dizziness may occur at 200 ppm perchloroethylene; progressively higher levels may also cause nasal irritation, nausea, incoordination, drunkenness;and over 1000 ppm, unconsciousness and death. A single brief (minutes) inhalation exposure to levels above 6000 ppm perchloroethylene may be immediately fatal.Based on structural analogy and/or equivocal data in animals, excessive exposure may potentially increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability (irregular heartbeats).
Germ cell mutagenicity: None known.
Carcinogenicity: Perchloroethylene has been shown to increase the incidence of tumors in certain strains of mice and rats.Other long-term inhalation studies in rats failed to show tumorigenic response.While perchloroethylene is not believed to pose a measurable carcinogenic risk to man when handled as recommended, and while human data are limited and inconclusive and have not established an association between exposure and cancer, perchloroethylene should be considered to pose a cancer risk pending the availability of further scientific evidence.An increased incidence of some forms of cancers have been observed in various epidemiology studies of workers in the dry cleaning industry and other workers potentially exposed to chemicals including perchloroethylene.Smoking, alcohol consumption, diet and other factors are known to increase the risk of cancer and may have been confounding factors in these studies.These studies were also limited by the lack of exposure measurements or other valid indicators of potential exposure to perchloroethylene, and potential exposure to other chemicals.The current epidemiological evidence does not support a conclusion that occupational exposure to perchloroethylene is a risk factor for cancer of any specific site.Animal studies have shown increases in liver cancer in mice, and renal cancer and mononuclear cell leukemia in rats.The relevance of these observations to humans is not clear at this time.The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity to experimental animals and limited evidence of carcinogenicity to humans (Group 2A a substance probably carcinogenic to humans).NTP has classified perchloroethylene as reasonable anticipated to be a human carcinogen.
Reproductive toxicity: One study reported a slight increase in miscarriages for operators of dry cleaning equipment but study authors concluded the increased miscarriages could not be specifically attributed to perchloroethylene exposure.Occupational exposure to perchloroethylene has been associated with taking slightly longer for women to become pregnant and with menstrual disorders.These studies were limited by other potential risk factors and small sample size.Other studies have not found an association between miscarriages and exposure to perchloroethylene.One study suggested that it may take slightly longer for wives of laundry and dry cleaning workers to become pregnant.Sample size for this study was very small and most of the workers were not exposed to perchloroethylene.Animal studies have not shown evidence of adverse effect on reproductive parameters following repeated exposure to perchloroethylene levels up to 300 ppm.Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother.Did not cause birth defects in laboratory animals. Increased resorptions, minor skeletal anomalies and subcutaneous edema have been reported in rodent studies.Hyperactivity was observed in adult mice exposed to perchloroethylene in utero. Findings from animal studies indicate perchloroethylene is not teratogenic.
Specific target organ toxicity (STOT) – single exposure: Exposure to 100-200 ppm has been reported to cause irritation to the eyes, throat and nose, headache, light-headedness, and dizziness after several hours exposure.Exposure to concentrations of the order of 500 ppm for short periods of time (e.g. 5 minutes) may lead to lightheadedness or dizziness.Exposure to levels of 1000 ppm or higher may cause intense respiratory irritation and anesthetic effects.Exposure to high concentrations or prolonged overexposure (500 ppm or greater) has caused unconsciousness and death.Deaths are generally attributed to ventricular fibrillation and central nervous system depression.Liver and kidney damage have been reported in cases of accidental excessive overexposure to perchloroethylene.Acute and short-term over-exposure to perchloroethylene has been associated with changes in electroencephalographic scores.
Specific target organ toxicity (STOT) – repeated exposure: Repeated exposure to levels well above the occupational exposure limit may produce adverse effects on the lungs, liver, kidneys and skin.Observations in animal studies include: endocrine system effects, immune system effects, and blood disorders.The relevance of these observations to humans is not clear at this time.Perchloroethylene has been associated with cancer in rodents. Extensive evaluations of possible mechanisms have led to the conclusion that they are of little, if any, relevance to man even at high exposure levels.Immunological effects related specifically to perchloroethylene exposure have not been reported in humans.One study, severely limited by technical deficiencies, suggests an association between long-term exposure to solvent-contaminated well water, and changes in immune parameters, and increased infections.The well water was also contaminated with other chemicals in addition to perchloroethylene.Enhanced susceptibility to infection was reported in one animal study but this study was compromised by high mortality among control animals.Other studies have not shown adverse effects on the immune system in animals exposed to perchloroethylene.A study of human volunteers associated repeated exposure to 100 ppm perchloroethylene with changes in electroencephalographic scores.Some studies have associated repeated exposure with changes in visual-evoked potential and changes in color vision.Overall, studies in dry cleaning workers have not shown evidence of adverse effects on the nervous system.Several studies suggestive of adverse neurological effects in dry cleaning workers were limited by small group size, as well as biased and subjective measurement methods.In view of these shortcomings the significance of these observations is questionable.One animal study associated perchloroethylene exposure with increased latency in visual-evoked potential.Findings from animal studies have shown alterations in the biochemistry of some neurological tissues following repeated exposure but no evidence of pathology (brain lesions).The relevance of these observations to humans is not clear at this time.Repeated exposure to levels well above the occupational exposure limit may produce adverse effects on the liver and kidneys.Exposure to perchloroethylene has been associated with changes in urinary and serum indicators of renal function and liver function.Findings from animal studies indicate the liver and kidney are target organs.Elevated prolactin levels were reported in some female workers exposed to perchloroethylene but these levels were within the normal clinical range.It is unlikely that these observations are biologically relevant. Changes in some blood parameters and evidence of reduced erythropoiesis have been observed in subchronic animal studies.Forestomach ulcers were observed in one animal study following prolonged exposure to perchloroethylene.Adrenal gland hyperplasia was observed in one animal study following prolonged exposure to perchloroethylene.Other animal studies indicated no evidence of adverse effects on the blood, stomach or adrenal glands.
Aspiration hazard: The ATE (gas inhalation) of the mixture is: 22500 ppmV.
