1,1,1-Trichloroethane
Active
Description
The organic compound 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a chloroalkane. This colorless, sweet-smelling liquid was produced industrially in large quantities for use as a solvent. Although not as toxic as many similar compounds, inhaled or ingested 1,1,1-trichloroethane does act as a central nervous system depressant and can cause effects similar to those of intoxication, including dizziness, confusion, and in sufficiently high concentrations, unconsciousness and death.Fatal poisonings have been reported and illness linked to trichloroethane from intentional inhalation in the 1980s. The removal of the chemical from correction fluid commenced due to Proposition 65 declaring it hazardous and toxic.Prolonged skin contact with the liquid can result in the removal of fats from the skin, resulting in chronic skin irritation. Studies on laboratory animals have shown that 1,1,1-trichloroethane is not retained in the body for long periods of time. However, chronic exposure has been linked to abnormalities in the liver, kidneys, and heart. Pregnant women should avoid exposure, as the compound has been linked to birth defects in laboratory animals. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
