SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

If material not involved in fire: Attempt to stop leak if without undue personnel hazard. Do not use water. Neutralize spilled material with crushed limestone, soda ash, or lime.

Personnel protection: Avoid breathing vapors. Keep upwind. ... Avoid bodily contact with the material. Wash away any material which may have contacted the body with copious amounts of water or soap and water. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires involving this material. If contact with the material anticipated, wear appropriate chemical protective clothing.

Evacuation: If material leaking (not on fire) consider evacuation from downwind area based on amount of material spilled, location and weather conditions.

CARBONYL FLUORIDE is an acid fluoride. Incompatible with water, with bases (including amines), with strong oxidizing agents, with alcohols. Reacts violently with hexafluoroisopropylideneaminolithium. High temperature causes decomposition to toxic carbon monoxide gas and fluorine. May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291].

... 32 PPM OF CARBONYL DIFLUORIDE GIVEN IN 5 DAILY 1-HR EXPOSURES /TO RATS/ CAUSED A URINARY FLUORIDE INCR TO 42 MG/L, IN VIVO HYDROLYSIS & SUBSEQUENT METABOLIC EFFECTS, WHICH RESULTED IN LETHAL EFFECT OBSERVED, SUBSTANTIATES THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CAUSE OF TOXIC RESPONSE WAS INDEED DUE TO FLUORIDE-ION GENERATED BY HYDROLYSIS.

... Twenty female and 20 male rats received sublethal, 1-hour, daily inhalation exposures of polytetrafluoroethylene pyrolysis products at 52, 43, 29, 25, and 9 ppm of carbonyl fluoride. Nine rats (22%) died during or shortly after completion of the five 1-hour exposures. The signs of toxicity preceding death indicated extreme malaise and weakness in the rats. The fluoride in the urine of the exposed rats increased from 3 to 42 mg/L in 5 days. Protein, glucose, ketones, and occult blood were detected in the urine. The succinic dehydrogenase activity in the kidney was inhibited to less than 5% of its normal value. The lung tissue reacted after the fifth day of exposure to produce increased amounts of succinic dehydrogenase enzyme to compensate for the fluoride inhibitory effect. The liver of exposed rats showed enlarged nuclei and fatty infiltration of the cells. Marked body weight loss (30%) occurred subsequent to exposures, indicating that metabolism was inhibited. The significant increase in the urinary fluoride coincident with the period of weight loss and the period of weight recovery coincident with the elimination of fluoride are evidence for a cause and effect relationship between fluoride toxicity and the body metabolism. Although severe injury was inflicted on the rats, the metabolic inhibition observed was completely reversible, and with the exception of a small amount of emphysematous changes, all previously mentioned pathologic changes in the lungs, the liver, and the kidneys were reversible within 18 days following exposure. Based on these results, the authors concluded that the toxic syndrome of carbonyl fluoride inhalation present in the pyrolysis product of polytetrafluoroethylene is compatible with descriptions of hydrogen fluoride poisoning.

... /Authors/ studied the pathological changes produced in the respiratory tract of dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, and rats exposed to carbonyl fluoride. In this experiment, rats were sacrificed over a period of 3 weeks following a single, 1-hour exposure at 310 ppm. The lungs of rats sacrificed 24 hours after exposure showed focal hemorrhage and pulmonary edema. Similar effects were seen in the other animal species that were sacrificed following exposure. A 48-hour, postexposure picture of the lung of a rat showed rapid cellular reorganization and clearing of edema from the lung. The alveolar damage did not resolve as readily. In general, extravasation of red cells from damaged capillaries proceeded for 3 or 4 days but usually stopped before 7 days. Some residual focal emphysema was left as the final, irreversible lesion with only a small amount of mild interstitial fibrosis.

... /Authors/ evaluated the acute inhalation toxicity of carbonyl fluoride to rats. The LC50 determinations were for a 1 hr exposure followed by a 14 day, postexposure, observation period. Each test group consisted of 10 rats, 5 female and 5 male. To determine the effects of age, test groups of both 8- and 24-week old rats were used. The LC50 values for the 8- and 24-week-old rats were 360 and 460 ppm, respectively. The results of this study indicated that young rats were more susceptible than older rats to the toxic action of carbonyl fluoride. To determine the effect of exposure duration, a test group of 8-week-old rats was exposed at 90 ppm of carbonyl fluoride for 4 hours. The mortality was equal to that in the LC50 obtained in the 1-hour exposure at 360 ppm of carbonyl fluoride. This mortality indicates that the lethal effect is a function of the exposure concentration (C) times the time (t) of exposure, and that this exposure-concentration range (Ct), 1-4 hours, is a constant. No significant difference in mortality between the sexes was observed. The deaths produced usually occurred in 24-48 hours after termination of exposure.

Major source of exposure results from the thermal decomposition of fluorocarbon plastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene in air.
