| Resumen |
Pentafluoroethane is a non-flammable colourless gas that is currently under development as an alternative to chlorofluorocarbons and is not yet available commercially. Its toxicity is very low (the 4h LC50 in rats is greater than 3,928,000 mg/m3 = 800,000ppm). Cardiac sensitization in dogs is observed above 100,000ppm. No mutagenicity or developmental toxicity has been seen in laboratory experiments. No effects on human beings have been reported. An occupational exposure limit (8h time-weighted average) of 1000ppm is recommended by producers. |
