Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: Not available.
Light sensitive. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Kidneys, heart, central nervous system, liver.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Vapors may cause eye irritation. Contact produces irritation, tearing, and burning pain. May cause conjunctivitis. Causes redness and pain.
Skin: Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or dermatitis. May cause severe skin irritation with possible burns, especially if skin is wet or moist. Causes redness and pain.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous system depression, kidney damage, and liver damage. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause cardiac disturbances.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cardiac sensitization and possible failure. May cause narcotic effects in high concentration.
Chronic: Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse reproductive effects. May cause liver and kidney damage. Toxicity may be increased by exposure to alcohol, steroids, and ketones. Chronic exposure to chloroform has been associated with an increased incidence of kidney, liver, rectal, bladder, colon, brain and lymph node cancer. Animal studies have shown fetal loss, delays in fetal development and cleft

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately.
Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Wash mouth out with water.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Chloroform sensitizes the heart to endogenous catelcholamines.
