Carcinogenicity

Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of vinyl fluoride. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of vinyl fluoride. Overall evaluation: Vinyl fluoride is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). In making the overall evaluation, the working group took into account the following evidence: Vinyl fluoride is closely related structurally to the known carcinogen, vinyl chloride. The two chemicals cause the same rare tumor (hepatic hemangiosarcoma) in experimental animals, which is also a tumor caused by vinyl chloride in humans.

12.Ecological information

12.1 Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: no data available
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
• Toxicity to algae: no data available
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

no data available

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 2 was calculated for vinyl fluoride(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 1.19(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC), provided the compound is not altered physically or chemically once released into the environment.

12.4 Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for vinyl fluoride can be estimated to be 24(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that vinyl fluoride is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
