| Abstract |
Report of 2 occupational deaths resulting from exposure to FC-113 (1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane) in enclosed and confined spaces. One incident involved a worker who was exposed to FC-113 after entering a small degreasing tank to clean it. The second case involved a significant spill of FC-113 on board a marine vessel. In both cases, the cause of death was determined to be cardiac arrhythmia with the possibility of anoxia due to the displacement of air by FC-113. |
